Hey HN, I'm Marko.

Isn't it crazy how social media apps keep us hooked for hours at a time?

It got me thinking, what if we utilized their techniques to become addicted to good things?

That's why I created HabitScroll, a habit tracker in which you scroll through tasks and routines.

How does it work?

1. Create a routine and set up daily habits

2. Scroll through them and watch your brain companion fill up

3. Set a daily reminder to keep showing up

I hope it will work for you as well as it does for me and other users.

If you have any feedback, either good or bad, please share! It would be awesome and much appreciated.

Thanks!

I loved the overall simplicity of the app. Good job. :}

First impressions:

* Good call on not requiring an account;

* 'Back' hardware button does not work on 'Settings' or 'Daily habits';

* I'd rather see a list of all the tasks completed for the day than just an icon;

* The loading screen (logo behind a black background) could temporarily hide the top status bar (the one that shows the notifications, time, battery level, WiFi signal quality, etc) or you could change its color to black so there's no color mismatch between the two;

* Instead of providing a way to download a shared routine from an URL, you could display all the routines publicly shared by other users directly on the app, adding an option to download them;

* It's impossible to add more tasks for the day after you complete them all;

Hi!

Thanks for the kind words and helping me improve the app. I really appreciate it!

I'll make sure to fix some of these for the next update.
