I've been using your app 'flathabits' for over a year (maybe 2) and I love it. You have done right for the users. The intention you put into the app caused me to seek out and start using 'Plain org' as well. The constructive criticism I have is when I have an 'bad' day or I'm traveling, canceling out each of the daily habits with the 2 step "skip" can be cumbersome. I'd prefer a swipe left or right which would be faster, or maybe 2 buttons (Done,Skip). As for wider adoption, besides the usability issue above, I use your app because it integrates with my larger org-mode ecosystem (beorg, working copy, emacs) that I sync with my computer. Other comments mention visualization, sync with existing tools, I get that over on the Emacs side so I don't need it in your app. You've built the great app for a tiny niche market, org-mode users who use iPhone. If you want to expand maybe make the app more intuitive, like others mentioned maybe some visualizations so that the app can stand alone better without org-mode being its primary selling point. I love your app because it is simple, because of the driving principles you put into it, and it syncs with my larger ecosystem. Your app is great for org-mode people, the issue is that there are not many of us. Please don't undermine your driving principles for a higher download count.

This is wonderful to hear. > I'd prefer a swipe left or right which would be faster, or maybe 2 buttons (Done,Skip). This is great feedback and indeed inline with reducing friction as much as possible. Swipe will come. If you aren't already in it, would you mind joinig the TestFlight group? I'd love to share early builds with you. Send me an email address for an invite at "flathabits" + "@" + "xenodium.com". > If you want to expand maybe make the app more intuitive, like others mentioned maybe some visualizations so that the app can stand alone better There's a bit of it (https://xenodium.com/images/flat-habits-11-released/multi_day_calendar.png https://xenodium.com/images/flat-habits-11-released/multi_da...), but yeah I can look into adding more after addressing usability improvements like swipe actions. > without org-mode being its primary selling point. Interestingly, I come with an org mode background but the more I used the habit app on iOS, the less I used org mode for managing habits. The app won hands down in terms of removing friction (super important for maintaining the recording ritual). Eventually, I only used the app and even forgot about the syncing to desktop aspect.
