Hello. I was looking for a simple and clean habit tracker. I went through a few apps but felt they were missing something. I also had some time on my hands, so decided to make my own and share it in case anyone else likes it. Some of the supported features: Streaks based, track and beat your longest streaks Fully useable offline Freezes (similar to Duolingo's streak freezes) Visual map for tracking consistency Pause the app when you need a break or will be away For anyone curious about the tech stack: - React for frontend - Dexie cloud for storage and syncing - Vercel for hosting Link:…

Totem▲141Repo: https://github.com/nnnkit/totem Bookmarking a tweet/article/thread on X is one click, but actually reading it later is like five clicks — open X, dig into history, bookmarks, find the post, and dodge the distraction of new feeds and notifications on the way there. So I had hundreds of genuinely great tweets saved and basically never read any of them. Totem puts that queue on the browser new tab, so reading them is just one click away. No feed distraction, no algorithm, no AI, no server, no account — it's all local. In one sentence "It's like the reading…

I've been working on a side project called Streak.ly with a friend of mine for the past month or so; it's intended to help keep you motivated to do otherwise mundane daily tasks (like do 10 pushups, read for an hour, etc.) by letting you log "streaks" — consecutive days in a row of doing something. It's in private alpha/beta/gamma/whatever right now (has some rough edges to clean up), but is more or less functionally complete and pretty stable. I'm a big fan of the Seinfeld calendar, and have seen other services which do similar things but were unsatisfying to use, either from an aesthetic…

Hey HN! I recently open-sourced a project that I came up with in the late 2022 and have been working on and off since. It's taken around a year or so of active development in total. My problem with habit-trackers is that they're all the same. All of them basically allow to track only one thing - X times per 1 day. That's very rigid and goes against my instinct to ease into new things. I wanted something that's flexible, self-sustainable, and wouldn't require a lot of maintenance. After a bit of tinkering I came up with something novel - adjustable habit frequencies. And made all the custom…

Hi fellow hackers, I'm Ved, I came across the pain point of having a reader that could provide threads as articles after scrolling them many times and missing the context of the original info shared. To solve my itch I decided to build a thread reader without Ads(all existing sol. were full of them), since X/Twitter API was very pricey, I did some reverse engineering to convert rendered X.com/twitter pages to an API and host it in a VM (which obv. was dead cheap). All of your data is saved in LocalStorage. Including your comments and saved threads(there is a known issue with Linux…

Vibeloop▲8Hey HN! I am building Vibeloop, a platform where you write small programs — canvas animations, GLSL shaders, Phaser games, charts — and they show up as discoverable cards. https://vibeloop.app The card types are: - Canvas — JS with a setup()/draw() loop - Shader — GLSL fragment shaders - Phaser — full Phaser 3 games in a card - Chart — powered by Chart.js - Markdown — with LaTeX math Some things I think are interesting: - Cards can use audio (Web Audio API beep/noise synthesis), mouse/touch input, uploaded images as textures - A watchdog kills runaway code (infinite…
