Build Diary

Spent the day watching a dashboard instead of writing code. Installs trickling in, and every one of them is a device I have never held.

More feedback coming in. Feeling very positive about the product.

The review cleared. Forge is live on Google Play — anyone can install it right now, no waitlist.

Nothing sharpens a roadmap like real people being able to open the thing, so out it goes.

Also got additional feedbacks from testers, and waiting for the App Store review to go live on iOS.

Refined the habit library: 5 categories.

Fitness. Nutrition. Discipline. Home. Focus.

One rule for every entry — provable in 60 seconds or less.

Getting also great feedback from testers and social media. And waiting for app store reviews!

Every habit app I have tried dies the same way — the honor system. You tap "done", nobody checks, you quit two weeks later.

Forge answers with a third role. The Judge rules each day from the proof both sides submit. A forge can never run alone, and that is the whole design constraint.

Day 1 of the build. Forge is a habit app with the one thing most habit apps skip: a judge. You, your opponent, and a friend who rules the winner from real proof.

Most habit apps die because nobody is watching. Thirty days to fix that, in public, every step logged here.
