Show HN: Group accountability for atomic habits (iOS) I started this project by running 10-day group challenges on Whatsapp. The group was gathered via a Webflow landing page, Google forms, Zapier and a PayPal button (here’s what I posted on HN at that time - https://ift.tt/5gq0hrw ). The WhatsApp challenges turned out to be a hit with over 85% checking in daily and 45% repaying to join multiple challenges. After having tried Streaks, Habitify, GTD, reminder apps, google calendar, Notion...etc—I was still having trouble staying consistent with my personal/wellness goals and habits. Methods from Atomic Habits by James Clear—is what worked best for me, but it was still difficult. For example, I had a daily push-up reminder on my google calendar that I ignored for almost a year. Fast forward, I’m now on day 120+ doing push-ups, meditation and waking up before 6am—after participating in group accountability challenges :) To see if we can scale it to help more people and potentially build a community-driven business—we just released an iOS app. Recap of how it works: - Join 10-30 day accountability challenges in small groups of 3-12 people - Commit a daily goal and check-in with the group on whether you didn’t or didn’t do it - Daily visual progress reports, reward credits/penalties and support from others helps everyone stay on track - Create and join private challenges with friends Would love to have you try it by joining a challenge—and see if could help you become the person you want be for 2023! https://ift.tt/B6K8Hxn January 15, 2023 at 06:16PM
Show HN: StreetComplete, an OpenStreetMap Editor for Humans StreetComplete is an OpenStreetMap[0] editor directed at people who want to contribute and want to do this using their smartphone, without learning how to edit things[1]. It is available as an Android application. It is intended to be used as one walks, with quests appearing as markers on the map. Selecting a marker allows one to answer a simple question. The answer will be added to the OpenStreetMap database, with app handling selecting objects for editing, transforming answer into OSM tags and making edits. OpenStreetMap account is needed to apply edits, but it is possible to start without it, make some edits and login/register later. Note: I am not the main author, but I am one of the active contributors. Github page is at https://ift.tt/2g8lasH and https://ift.tt/3nR9PzS shows what was recently released.
