How We Use HeroMode: Adding a New Feature to Minimal Fast Tracker
Last year, I launched an app called "Minimal Fast Tracker". And a month ago, I was happy to get a feature request from a user about being able to export their own fasting data. Minimal Fast Tracker being a side project, it was easy for a feature request to slip through the cracks and end up never being delivered. So I used HeroMode to track and motivate myself. And thanks to HeroMode, the data export feature is now available in the newly released Minimal Fast Tracker v1.4!
v6.13 Release: Repeat a Quest on Demand!

Check out this new feature and how it can help you organize and manage your tasks.
