One other feature I'd love to see is partial days. This can be hacked with Skip right now, but is different. A partial day is a day you did a lower level of your habit.
I often describe this technique as Green-Yellow Goals. Your Green goal is the goal your aiming to reach, while your Yellow goal is a lower goal that allows you to maintain your streak.
So, for example, my Green goal is to do 30 minutes of yoga a day, but my Yellow goal is to do at least 10 minutes. Provided I do at least 10 minutes a day, I haven't broken my streak (haven't hit Red), but I'm ideally aiming for 30 minutes.
Likewise, my Green goal is to do yoga 7 days a week, but my Yellow goal is to do at least 5 days.
I currently track this with a Google Spreadsheet, but I like the ease of use of your application more. The combination of web app, mobile app and Chrome extension is the exact combination I'm looking for in a habit tracking app.
I used to use a custom Chrome extension to show Don't Break The Chain on my New Tab, but that wasn't ideal on mobile.
I'll, however, give more thought to this use case since it's important to "minimize the lows" ;D
Hope the app helps!!
I think the idea to focus on creating a habit to do every day is unrealistic, although there are people who can do that. I have read where people set goals to read at least one page per day of a book, and that goal is probably doable for most people (but not all). Lots of people set goals to exercise 3 to 4 times a week due to their lifestyles (jobs, travel, children's events, etc), so those people won't see a benefit to your app.
I wouldn't be confused if you set up different use cases, I'd find the app less strict, less judgmental (of course the app doesn't judge me, I judge me, but, hell, I'd like to say I did a bit of exercise if I did, even if it wasn't the complete goal for the day ). I also would like to be able to set goals for some things to not do every day, but create habits for weekdays, and some habits for weekends.
Based on Trevor's feedback and what I've suggested, I would also love to see a weekly or monthly graph of which days I achieved my goals fully, partially, or not at all (would like a better word than "skip," though). Color coding would be cool. I would be more motivated seeing I did something partially than it to appear on your app as though I didn't do it at all when I actually did try to maintain a habit.
I feel an app like that (with allowances for partial goals reached and customized habit goals--not all to be every single day) would be great for someone like me. I can't be the only person who feels like this.
Best of luck with your app!
Having said this, and knowing this is a widespread need, I am already thinking of ways to support "partial goals" (maybe with colourcoding as you suggest) as well as the possibility to track "frequent tasks" such as "gym 2x week".
I know you might find the differences subtle, but they do mean a lot in terms of UI, communication and also in the actual goal of the app.
Thanks again for taking the time to write me valuable feedback and I hope the app will help you :)
