Show HN: Neohabit – custom github heatmaps for X times per Y days activities

[Vsein]

Hey HN! I recently open-sourced a project that I came up with in the late 2022 and have been working on and off since. It's taken around a year or so of active development in total.

My problem with habit-trackers is that they're all the same. All of them basically allow to track only one thing - X times per 1 day. That's very rigid and goes against my instinct to ease into new things.

I wanted something that's flexible, self-sustainable, and wouldn't require a lot of maintenance.

After a bit of tinkering I came up with something novel - adjustable habit frequencies. And made all the custom github/anki-style heatmaps with all that functionality on top, meaning stuff like heatmaps for once-in-three-days habits.

It's hard to put into words, as it's very visual, so here's the landing: https://neohabit.org/ (might be a bit slow as it's deployed with github-pages)

And a demo: https://neohabit.org/projects

I looked over your project, & I'm intrigued by the design of it. I think you have some clever ideas, so I’m going to play around with it. Thanks!

Thank you!

I'm honestly surprised too see that this post blew up three days after publishing, didn't expect that at all. And I wondered where this surge of github stars was coming from.. :D
