Show HN: ZenStreak - I built an iOS app to help me quit...
The reason why I got into programming like many other people was because I feel in love
with video games. Zelda, and Mario on the N64 were some of my favorite. But I also
started watching adult content (pron) at a very early age.
I was able to navigate the web more naturally than other people. And so my brain was
hooked.
It's been more than a decade carrying this unwanted habit. After my long term girlfriend
almost ended things with me about my use I decided it was time to quit.
I tried other apps to quit. Their attempt was honest and at times good. But they just
felt short of what I was actually looking for. What ended up working for me was: having
a notecard on my desk and a checkbox for every day, that I look at daily.
It's actually comically simple. But it worked for me. So I decided to build a native iOS
app. Partly because I didn't want the notecards to pile up and make a mess.
But also to learn Swift, SwiftUI, and SwiftData.
I had fun making the app for myself. I've been using it for about 8 months now on my
development Xcode build ... I finally got around to making it available for others.
Check it out if you're interested. thanks for reading.
