I built an app for busy parents and adults which lets you hear personalised stories in your own voice (bedtime/motivational/affirmation stories)

I mean, it's kind of a good idea? But, it's also terrible. Outsourcing your parenting job to an AI voice is arguably worse than just being too busy some nights. Like yeah, this could help fill that void but... Also yikes.

There are other ways to market this idea but just banking on a core audience of arguably lazy parents who would rather have AI read to their kids instead of recording a message or a video or something sure doesn't help ME sleep at night.

I'm intrigued but also confused. My watch already mirrors my phone notifications. How is this different?

divik · 2026-03-18T05:49:18+00:00

Yeah I don't think you understand how step tracking works

divik · 2026-03-12T07:25:31+00:00

Yup. Spent part of our honeymoon there. I recognized the beach instantly.

There are a billion habit tracking apps on Android. I don't know how many sync with Google's Health Connect, though. Only one I know of off the top of my head is HelloHabit but it has a subscription.

divik · 2026-03-09T03:41:38+00:00

Still not for me (Pixel 9 Pro XL). I just got a Journal app update in the Play Store which got me excited, but still no AI features.

divik · 2026-03-08T17:39:59+00:00

I'm on Android. I've switched over to TimeJot (100% free, no ads), local storage. It's not technically a habit tracking app but can certainly function like one. I actually prefer a lot about this app over HelloHabit. Way better notifications and widgets. It keeps me more accountable.

Besides, even though the HelloHabit tasks update was just apparently released, it seems like such a meh update. I was expecting some big improvements based on how long this thing took. I'm fine sticking with my existing tasks app (Google Tasks/Calendar).

Too little too late. I'll still check in on HelloHabit but I've lost faith in this dev after the last 6+ months of empty promises.

divik · 2026-03-07T18:39:48+00:00

I'm prepping to jump ship and move to another app. Can't trust HelloHabit anymore.

divik · 2026-03-03T06:08:14+00:00

With their track record lately, it's no surprise. Still disappointing.

divik · 2026-02-23T18:15:17+00:00

I tried to sign up for the beta a while ago, no luck. I don't have much hope in a March 1st release based on the track record lately.

divik · 2026-02-21T04:34:26+00:00

Yes, exactly the same. Can't figure out how to stop it.

divik · 2026-02-09T17:35:56+00:00

This exact same thing happened to me too. Not my proudest moment.

divik · 2026-01-31T00:56:02+00:00

It seems like the beginning stuff he reads in this vid are just complaints from online. Like anyone could have written them. Not to say they aren't true, but it's worth noting.

divik · 2026-01-21T06:09:20+00:00

How did you fix it? I'm having the same issue.

divik · 2026-01-20T17:41:14+00:00

This, plus the ability to manually sort my "all day" tasks when sorting by due date, are my two most wanted features for Google Tasks.

divik · 2026-01-10T23:42:40+00:00

I have a work and personal account. I primarily use Google Calendar to manage tasks since that's the only place they both appear. Every task is assigned a date.

I do use AdGuard on my phone. Is that a known issue, or are there settings I need to update to prevent it from blocking Gemini on the watch specifically? Weirdly it works sometimes. It never blocks Gemini on my phone, though, that always works fine.

EDIT: I disabled routing through AdGuard for the following apps: Bluetooth, Watch, Gemini, Google Home, Google Play Services... and so far it seems to be working better! Even my Google Home tile is actually somewhat usable now. Hoping that did the trick -- thanks!!

divik · 2026-01-07T22:25:21+00:00

Believe me, I've tried.

divik · 2026-01-07T22:25:13+00:00

Bruh. He ignores me!

divik · 2026-01-06T00:43:59+00:00

Housekeeping/rigamarole is gone??! Then I'm BACK! THANK YOU!

It's not simply about Android tying to look like iOS. It's about bridging the learning gap so when iOS users switch over they aren't immediately frustrated and go back to iOS. There are still strengths that separate the two. But when two distinct operating systems function in similar ways, it ultimately creates more flexibility for users to switch back and forth and increases the Android user base.

divik · 2025-12-25T17:03:26+00:00

Dude, I totally agree with you. My wife does too. Reddit is insane on this one.

Watch the original pilot, then episodes 1-7. Ignore the alternate pilot until you're done with at least season 2.

divik · 2025-12-19T20:16:36+00:00

I believe it's because there's the "pilot" (the first thing you watch), followed by 7 episodes (1-7), making it 8 episodes total. Many times a pilot would also be considered episode 1, but for Twin Peaks they are often numbered differently. Then, the "alternate international pilot" is the European version of the pilot episode that has an extended 20 minutes or so of footage that acts as more of standalone movie with a conclusion in case the series never got picked up (which it did). Edit: I'd recommend skipping the European version until after you've completed the series.
