Hey everyone! I've just deployed the beta of my new habit tracking app.
I'd really love to hear some what you think. Do you like it? Would you use it? What would you improve? Can you share some advice on which steps I should take next?

(note that it's in early beta, bugs are possible)
- conorgil145 9y agoI have had a very similar idea for a tracking app for a looong time. This is by far the closest I've seen to my idea. I would definitely use something like this. However, I would primarily want to use a mobile app for daily tracking. It would also be nice to be able to set a daily reminder time for each item I'm tracking so that I remember to fill it in. Is this just a fun side project, or do you plan to monetize somehow?
- rayalez 9y agoThank you for your reply! Helix works on mobile quite well already, and soon I am planning to make it progressive, that is you can add it to the home screen, it'll work offline, sync with the server when it can, and be essentially indistinguishable from a native app. I haven't implemented notifications yet because I'm not using them myself, but I'm definitely planning to, apparently many people find them useful. Yes, I am planning to monetize it, once I'll complete all the main requested features, it'll cost $12/year. But everyone who joins during the beta and sends me feedback will get free lifetime accounts =)
- zanedb 9y agoQuick question: once you monetize it, will it remain open-source?
- elijahlofgren 9y agoHelix looks really cool. One small usability/onboarding to think about is it took me a little while to figure out that I need to double tap on an item to edit it (using Google Chrome on Android phone). Looking forward to trying Helix out!
