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: Tape It, iOS recording app for musicians Hello HN, Over the last 15 months, two friends and I developed the music recording app we felt we wanted based on our own needs as musicians. It's called Tape It [1] and has just recently hit the Apple App Store [2]. We put a lot of effort into a good UX to help musicians really focus on playing their instrument instead of pretending to be a recording engineer. The app records in stereo on newer iPhones (although that's a premium feature; the free version only records in standard mono audio quality). I would be really grateful for advice from this community on how to best approach marketing. We had a great TechCrunch article covering our launch [3], and we posted it on various music websites. Turns out advertising on Google or Apple Search is a dark art, though. We have some good ideas for developing a good social media presence, but they will take time. Please hit us with feedback, opinions and advice that you think a young ind...
