HeroMode v6.2 has been released! We now have a Home screen (rebranded from the Quests screen which has been a common source of user confusion), new navigation icons, and better UI for iPad and web. We hope you like it!
We have released HeroMode v6 on the web and Chrome Extension! This is the first phase of our v6 release. We have made the app much faster and smoother. We are also working on new UI elements and new features. Stay tuned!
We have just launched a new app called "Minimal Fast Tracker". It's a side project that we were able to bring to completion in about a month. Along the way, HeroMode has been very helpful as always. Specifically:
In this post, we'll share more about the app, and how we used HeroMode to launch it!
HeroMode is one year old! Within the last year, we've added numerous features and improvements to make HeroMode truly motivating. Now, for the upcoming v6, our primary focus is optimization. In terms of app performance, we've compiled a long list of codebase improvements to speed up response times. We are expecting to revamp nearly the entire codebase. Additionally, we are continuously improving the app layout, such as the Adventures List screen, to make it more visually appealing and informative. Stay tuned for the phased rollout of HeroMode v6, where optimization and an enhanced user experience take center stage!
Do you have a lot of things you'd like to learn, but find it hard to stay on track? HeroMode has helped me with my continuous learning journey, most recently with learning SwiftUI. In today's post, I'll share how I use HeroMode to structure learning a new technology. I'll also compare my experience with SwiftUI to that of React Native. Achieve your learning goals by staying organized and motivated with HeroMode!
Are you struggling with decision paralysis and feeling stuck? In today's post, we dive deeper into decision paralysis, and focus on the most important step to overcome it: Acceptance. We introduce the "three-self" framework: past self, present self, and future self. By understanding the relationship amongst these three, we can put ourselves in a growth mindset and make decisions with confidence.

Our HeroMode blog is powered by Docusaurus, and we have added customizations over time to make it more dynamic and interactive. Previously we had added blog reactions to each blog post. For each blog, the post author can decide which emojis to include, as well as their titles. In this post, I describe how to add animations to the react titles, so that they truly feel like the Easter eggs that they are!
We have released HeroMode v5.6. In this new release, you can now pin quests to the top of the list for convenient prioritization. Pinned quests stay on top until they are completed or unpinned. We have also split the quest Delete vs Expire buttons. In an upcoming release, we have also implemented the "start quest" button directly into the avatar of the assigned hero of the quest. With all these action buttons available to each quest, you have many ways to organize your tasks and stay focused on what's important.
