EW is badge-based, and iPhone only. This will be traditional SNES-style, highly social, and web first - then cross-device mobile. In all honesty, I didn't know about EW when I built this. When I saw EW after finishing the website, I thought "God damn it! Effing spot on, too" and walked home dejected. But their Android app has been long in the works, there won't be web, and in all honesty - I want something REALLY rpg. My goal with Habit is to push as many possible traditional RPG features into the app, starting with a 5-person party system, healing and all (see http://goo.gl/TvPTg http://goo.gl/TvPTg)

+1 for web based interface. I grabbed Epic Win when it was first released, but was put off by the fact that every task had to be typed in with the iPhone keyboard. This is a huge pain if you have a lot to do in one day :D Plus, it doesn't look like EW gets many significant updates any longer. Glad to see someone else taking a crack at this.

-1 for web-based interface. What I want is to use it off-line (why, oh why, do I need to have Internet everywhere for everything?) and have off-line access to data (e.g. to plot myself something for fun or insight).

  well web app is already built, and the Kickstarter's for native mobile app. no need to use the web app if you don't want to. But the reason I chose web first is (1) easy access to all platforms, (2) plug into web services and hooks. Eg, there's the Chrome extension (http://goo.gl/gze94 http://goo.gl/gze94) where you lose HP for surfing reddit, facebook, etc. Pomodoro plugin, and future integration with Pivotal, Asana, etc. Integration is easier on the web.
