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

Adeline “Addy” Svendsen was founding editor of Muni’s first internal newsletter, “ Trolley Topics .” Adeline Svendsen sits at her desk in the Geneva Carhouse office building in this 1949 shot. Trolley Topics was a new venture when it started in February 1946. As Svendsen wrote in the first issue it was created, “to bring a little fun, a little news, and a lot of good will to all our fellow employees in the Railway.” Just two years prior in 1944, Muni merged with the Market Street Railway Company, expanding the small municipal operation into the largest transit provider in the city with hundreds of employees, vehicles of every shape and size, and dozens of facilities scattered across town. The newsletter was meant to help unite ...
