Sure! Email your users too - since I'm one of them I'll get the email. :)

Cool. One option is just to integrate with make/n8n/zapier so I could a) trigger on doc changes and then b) upload (and overwrite) the doc in your app

Cool! I was excited when I saw this and signed up.

One key thing I was hoping for was a consistent resync with source material particularly google docs. Looks like I'll have to download then upload to your app whenever they change.

Is that right? Auto syncing in the plan?

Will replicache be deprecated? Or continue to be developed/supported? E.g. Partial downloads aren't really necessary in our case so Zero isn't really necessary (although it is cool!).

Hey Philippe! Very nice to see this from you. Looks great.

Yeah, that all seems very useful.

HabitStack founder here. Your points are well taken! For some context, for the last few years, we've been a service company with a software product. You're seeing us at an awkward transition point to a product first company. So, sorry for the rough edges in the app! We're excited smooth them out.

What jumped out at you as needing immediate attention?

This is an important observation. Most productivity apps don't end up "working" because they vastly underestimate the complexity of the problem they are trying to solve.

We need to do a far better job of addressing the psychology of self-improvement, one of the most important aspects being how to deal with the inevitable "falling off the wagon".

As you describe well, a naive approach to productivity tends to work at first, but then, as soon as you disengage for a time, they actively work _against_ re-engagement.

I think there is a lot to be figured out in this area.

One other related point is that although an app can't "solve the problem of self-discipline" it _can_ reduce the amount of energy required to "do the right thing" (e.g. by providing a easy to follow system). Since willpower requires energy which is a limited resource, this leaves more of it to apply towards continuing to work towards a goal instead of figuring out how to configure a goal achievement system.

Love it!
