I love the sentiment and inspiration. I think this is great for fighting burnout and getting back in the game. The design of the app is really clean and it looks great. That being said, I feel like the replies here are a bit of a hugbox. As far as the app's value itself goes, I don't see any benefit of this compared to an accomplished.txt file. In fact, a txt file is better because it covers more use cases and has a simpler interface(just start typing). Why should I use this rather than a notepad? Look for features you can add that would be useful for manipulating data about accomplishments. Find ways to set the app apart. Accomplishment ranking could be one useful feature. Then you could list even the tiny accomplishments, but if you want to just look at the big accomplishments you can always sort based on ranking to clear out the noise.

All very good points. It's better than a notepad in that it will send you reminder notifications of accomplishments. A notepad requires you to look at it again. There are also counters on each category so you begin to notice and feel confident about how accomplished you are on certain areas of your life. There is also a strengths/skills page which collects notes you've made on each accomplishment. It needs to be improved but eventually you will see patterns in the skills you use to accomplish things. I hope that helps. I probably should have written that on the website.

  An android version would be great. This direction has great potential. An app is way better than a notepad. Reminders, categorization, tagging with skills, extracting patterns, these are very useful things.

I don't know, keeping track of accomplishments in retrospect seems to be rather an additional burden. I'd rather change the app so it helps you to pursue current goals (todos for a goal, notes etc.) and reminds you of goals you have accomplished.

  this is an excellent point. goal-setting and achievement gives tremendous hope so that would be a most excellent feature.

  I'm working on a platform which does just that. Don't really want to detract from the thread (as I appreciate the simplicity of this app in just focusing on one aspect), but the link is in my profile if you're interested.
