HeroMode helps me stay organized and motivated on my side project called Minimal Fast Tracker!
Summary

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!

heromode can help you stay away from bad habits, such as browsing reddit excessively
Summary

In this post, I finally complete my Adventure to quit Reddit! Thanks to HeroMode, I've been off Reddit for 415 days. At this point, I have forgotten what doom scrolling on Reddit used to feel like, and the grip it used to have on me. I've formed new routines, and content with this new norm without Reddit. If you have a bad habit that you are struggling to kick, or a new habit you wish to adopt, maybe HeroMode can help you too!

HeroMode helps me stay organized and motivated on my side project called Yaaker!
Summary

I recently launched a little game called "Yaaker!". It's a side project that developed over the course of several months. I had to overcome some technical challenges, and pick up new skills. Along the way, HeroMode has been very helpful:

  • It helped me stay organized on the project tasks
  • It helped me convert little chunks of free time into project progress that adds up
  • It helped me stay motivated with points, rewards, and activity calendar

I don't think I would've been able to take this project from an idea to a finished product without HeroMode!

heromode can help you stay away from bad habits, such as browsing reddit excessively
Summary

HeroMode can be used in many different ways. In a previous post, I had described how I use HeroMode to break my Reddit habit. And since then, I have been successful in staying away from Reddit for many months! However, recently, I noticed a bug in my activity calendar, breaking my Reddit streak. This is of course unacceptable! So we implemented a data sync improvement, which has been released in v4.1. Now I can see my Reddit-free streak hitting more than 180 days!

HeroMode can be used to maintain good habits, such as stretching once in a while during your busy work day.
Summary

HeroMode has many different use cases. Today, I describe how I use HeroMode to build a stretching routine to rehabilitate my knees.

  • Set up a repeat quest for a stretching session
  • Within the quest, use checkboxes to list the movements
  • Each stretching session takes no more than 10 minutes to complete
  • I set up the repeat quest for Mondays through Fridays, so that I'm reminded to get up and stretch during work days
  • Since setting up the "Stretch time!" repeat quest, I've been stretching almost daily, and my knees are feeling a lot better!
