Show HN: I created my first mobile app, could use some support

Posted by gangelo 3 days ago

Hi Everyone,

I created a mobile app called Accumoo, and I would appreciate it if y'all can have a look, download and give me a favorable review. Lots of blood, sweat, tears and love went into this app, and I hope you LOVE it as much as I do - it's the app I always needed and wanted. Anyhow, I've been a Rails developer and Software Engineer for a long time, and this is my first stab at a mobile app. It's a "habit tracker" app on steroids that's just fun to use - syncs across devices, local-first architecture - and an easter egg game for good measure.

Help a disabled vet out and give it a go.

Thank you in advance. GA

Good luck. It looks pretty comprehensive, which should benefit a lot of people. I note that unlike everyone else, you say exactly what the IAP's get you. Most say nothing, cause me to search their website, if it exists, and then not really know what the extra money gets me.

Personally, I'm retired and the only activity worth tracking is my piano practice (which I highly recommend to keep one sharp over the years) and that's really up to me, since everything else is "optional" except necessary chores, and outdoor walks, which the watch tracks. (is that a good data source?)

And by the way, I get no previews, either on Firefox, Safari and the AppStore on the mac, and Safari and the App Store on the phone. Only variable is iCloud Private Relay, which is usually very well behaved., and other apps show.

HTH, fellow vet.

Hey, thanks brother .

Yes, you posted like 17 hours ago - App Store was broken for some at that time, should be fine now.

I’m not sure what you mean by “is that a good data source?”; if you mean whether or not those are good events to track in my app? Absolutely. BTW, there’s a free, fun easter egg game in there if you’re savvy enough to find it.

God bless you

I was thinking of using data that the watch creates, if that makes sense and is doable.

Good luck.

Yes, that is a good source and may be doable if I can map what health data (e.g. “walk”) Apple Watch makes available to 3rd party apps like Accumoo; or, the converse - map Accumoo’s data (event “walk”) to apple health module. Once I start to get reviews, I will start to know what people want so your feedback is very helpful. If you install the app, you can go to “… > About” and click the “Contact Support” you can fill out the form and make a suggestion. You can also go directly to the Accumoo form using this link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfdWB-2VH0ulO18avje...
