Goal achievement just got easy with Dittit.com (feedback wanted)

Hi, we’re dittit.com, a startup that enables people to achieve any personal goal by automating accountability, incentives and disincentives to modify the economics of daily behavior. The way it works is you publicly declare your goal and get friends/family to sponsor you financially. You also commit to a weekly set of commitments to get to your goal. Then you submit proofs using our mobile app or any 3rd party tracking app (Runkeeper for example) which are certified by other members of the dittit community. When you miss a commitment we get your friends and family to help you out via Twitter…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hi, we’re dittit.com, a startup that enables people to achieve any personal goal by automating accountability, incentives and disincentives to modify the economics of daily behavior. The way it works is you publicly declare your goal and get friends/family to sponsor you financially. You also commit to a weekly set of commitments to get to your goal. Then you submit proofs using our mobile app or any 3rd party tracking app (Runkeeper for example) which are certified by other members of the dittit community. When you miss a commitment we get your friends and family to help you out via Twitter and Facebook. And, to provide that little extra Pavlovian sting, we donate some of your money to charity. When you achieve your goal, the money you raise from sponsors also is donated to charity. (yes we plan to raise lots of money for charity) Anyway, check out our site, dittit.com. We're in private beta now so we'd love to get people's thoughts and feedback as we finalize our v1 (mvp). In particular we're interested in knowing what sorts of goals you'd use Dittit for, what the most successful motivators are in your life, and generic thoughts on our particular solution. Thanks! The Dittit Team

    Launched my side project: Goalfinch2011 · ▲22

    http://goalfinch.com I had the idea for Goalfinch while reading an article here on Hacker News about economic incentives and how effective they are. It got me thinking: What if there were an easy way to set up economic incentives for the goals I have in my own life? A few months later, after working on it off and on in my spare hours, it's ready for prime time. With Goalfinch, you define a goal and make a contribution of cash that acts as an incentive for you to complete the goal. Your Facebook friends confirm whether or not you've accomplished it. If you succeed before your deadline, you…

  • Eigendrum - Draw any shape and hear what it sounds like as a drum▲243

    Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…
