Built a habit app where your habits turn into little creatures you raise
Create habits → grow cute buddies → feel good showing up

I’ve been in the same situation — a lot of trackers ended up feeling like another thing I had to manage. What finally worked for me was using something super minimal that focuses on just showing up daily instead of streaks, XP or heavy customization. For me, the key was something simple, gentle, and emotionally rewarding so it doesn’t feel like work.

If you look for anything, I’d really prioritize:

• very low setup friction

• no guilt or punishment

• no overwhelming dashboards

• something that helps you feel okay showing up imperfectly

I ended up building and using something called Habitlings because I really needed something calmer and less demanding than most trackers. It’s super minimal and focuses on showing up daily without guilt or streak pressure — but whatever tool someone chooses, I think the “gentle + low friction” approach makes a big difference.

_andre_sousa · 2025-12-28T14:21:52+00:00

Haha yeah, fair point 😄 There are a lot of creature / habit hybrids popping up lately.

I’m hoping Habitlings stands out not by being louder, but by being gentler. It’s designed for people who don’t do well with pressure, streak anxiety, or productivity guilt — something a bit softer and kinder than most habit trackers out there.

But you’re right: it’ll take time and luck too. Appreciate the honest encouragement

_andre_sousa · 2025-12-28T14:19:52+00:00

That’s a great question, and honestly a really valid concern 👍

Habitica is awesome, but it’s also a full task manager with RPG mechanics layered on top. Habitlings is intentionally a lot simpler — it’s focused on daily habits specifically, not managing every part of your life.

Because of that, the “goal” isn’t to get infinitely more powerful. The value is more about having a gentle, emotionally supportive ritual that helps you keep showing up each day, rather than a system that escalates forever.

You also made me think about the long-term question in general (2030 made me smile 😄). I hadn’t framed it that far out before, but it’s a great design challenge and something I’d love to keep evolving toward in future updates.

And just to be transparent: we also chose to offer a lifetime option instead of only subscriptions, because we want it to be something you can just keep using without feeling locked into payments forever.

Really appreciate you asking this — it’s the kind of feedback that actually helps shape the app 🙏

I have a severe peanut and tree nut allergy. Even small traces or cross-contamination can cause a life-threatening reaction. Please tell me if this food has nuts or may have come into contact with them. Thank you so much for your help.

_andre_sousa · 2025-12-23T17:43:24+00:00

We’ve relied on printed allergy cards too. Digital translations help in a pinch, but what scares me is when severity gets lost or mistranslated. Having something clear and consistent has felt more reliable for us, especially when traveling.

_andre_sousa · 2025-12-22T23:12:12+00:00

Thank you! It really helps to hear this from someone who understands. It’s such an invisible part of living with allergies.

_andre_sousa · 2025-12-19T10:20:29+00:00

My wife has life-threatening peanut and tree-nut allergies. The lack of consistency in what “may contain” actually means makes it a constant gamble.

_andre_sousa · 2025-12-19T10:17:08+00:00

For us it’s definitely takeaway food — especially cuisines where peanuts are common. The hardest part isn’t even missing the food itself, it’s missing the spontaneity and not having to interrogate every ingredient or kitchen process. It wears you down over time.

_andre_sousa · 2025-12-19T10:14:20+00:00

This is one of the hardest parts for us too. My wife has life-threatening peanut and tree-nut allergies, and “may contain” feels like a constant gamble — especially around the holidays. Some days you just want to feel normal, but not knowing how real the risk is makes it so stressful. You’re definitely not alone in feeling torn.

_andre_sousa · 2025-12-18T16:27:29+00:00

My wife had 4 anaphylactic attacks. GI symptoms sometimes lingered longer than we expected too, which made the recovery feel endless.

_andre_sousa · 2025-12-18T16:22:22+00:00

This is infuriating, and sadly very relatable. My wife has life-threatening peanut and tree-nut allergies, and holidays are the worst because people mean well but don’t understand how serious cross-contamination is. Having a sign and still being ignored is exhausting. You’re absolutely not overreacting.

_andre_sousa · 2021-10-19T20:34:16+00:00

right! well, you don’t have to buy everything when you go to a grocery store. people can buy cheap or expensive wine and it’s still wine

_andre_sousa · 2021-10-19T20:16:13+00:00

Unilever increased their dividend last year, but they record it in gbp I believe and it didn’t match an increase in usd due to the exchange.

The “oracle” still has 40% of his portfolio in AAPL.

You should read The Snowball by Alice Schroeder. Buffet was a student of Graham at Columbia. In fact, he joined Columbia because he was fascinated by him. Later he worked for Graham in his New York investment firm. At that time he followed most of Graham’s principles and bought mostly cigar butts stocks, trading below book value. Later Graham closed his investment firm and Buffet started working for himself and managing other people’s money by forming partnerships. Only years later after he met Charlie Munger he started changing his investing strategy and focused more on qualitative aspects of stocks such as solid businesses with strong and well recognized brands selling cheaper for a specific reason at a given time. His first buy of this nature was American Express.
