Atomic – A to-do app inspired by GitHub squares and Atomic Habits

Atomic is a super simple to-do app I built last year, mainly for fun. It's inspired by GitHub’s green contribution squares and the ideas from James Clear’s Atomic Habits. Each completed task turns the calendar entry of the day greener, making consistency visible and oddly satisfying. It’s not a serious productivity tool — just a vibe-coded experiment to gamify streaks and daily wins. Now there's a .exe available if you want to try it out.

I'm an airline pilot – I built interactive graphs/globes of my flights▲1,539
Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history. This globe is probably my favourite so far: https://jameshard.ing/pilot/globes/all If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!

Workout.cool – Open-source fitness coaching platform▲827
I was the main contributor to workout.lol, an open-source fitness app to easily build a workout routine. The project had traction (1.4k GitHub stars, 95 forks, ~20K visits/month), but was eventually sold due to video licensing hurdles. The new owner stopped maintaining it, and the repo went abandoned. Over the next 9 months, I sent 15 emails to try to save it : no replies. Feature requests & issues were ignored. The community was left with a "broken" tool let's say. I couldn't just let it die So I built the new version from scratch with the same open-source spirit, but a better…
