Neohabit – custom github heatmaps for X times per Y days activities
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…
In plain words
Neohabit is an open-source habit tracker that displays custom GitHub-style heatmaps for flexible activity frequencies. Instead of tracking only daily habits, it lets users define goals like "X times per Y days," such as exercising three times per week or reading twice monthly. The tool generates visual heatmaps similar to GitHub's contribution graph and Anki flashcard patterns, making it easier to ease into new habits with adjustable frequency requirements rather than rigid daily tracking.

In the maker’s words, at launch
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.

After a bit of tinkering I came up with something novel - adjustable habit frequencies. And made all the custom github/anki-style heatmaps with all that functionality on top, meaning stuff like heatmaps for once-in-three-days habits. It's hard to put into words, as it's very visual, so here's the landing: https://neohabit.org/ (might be a bit slow as it's deployed with github-pages) And a demo: https://neohabit.org/projects GitHub: https://github.com/Vsein/Neohabit
