yeah that makes sense, the original thought was just that it would be easier to adopt a chrome extension into my workflow, instead of having to manually go to a download page and natively install an app I have to personally open everyday.
I did consider a web app, but then I found it unlikely someone would want to have to go to a specific link everyday just to track their habits. Just felt that since a chrome extension icon would always be there everyday, and because we all need to use the browser at some point, it would be more likely we would use that naturally.
Would love anyone's views on that though. Not saying that initial train of thought was right or wrong, just putting it out there
- amadeuspagel 4y agoPersonally, I find opening web apps to be much easier then clicking on an extension. I don't think I'd be addicted to HN if I had to click an icon to get here. But the combination Ctrl+T => n (it autocompletes to news.ycombinator.com) => Enter is deep in my muscle memory. For a new app of course it would take time until the URL autocompletes.
