Want to know how a Cuban developer is breaking the rules, and going further than anyone else in the country? I m pretty sure you don t know all the struggles of being a Cuban developer. Trying to build and publish your own app for the rest of the world? That s playing on hard mode. First, you can t publish apps or even access some websites from Cuba. We don t have access to Mastercard, Visa, or any international banking for online payments. But I did it anyway. I built an app, one that would have helped me when I was lost, wasting my life playing video games like so many other young guys. At 21, I realized I needed to take control of my life and build better habits. Now, at 23, I ve made it happen. I wanted an app to track healthy habits, but most of them were either ugly, bloated, slow, or just distracting. I also needed something to keep me motivated on the lonely path of self-improvement, like a little nudge when I needed it most. So, I built it myself. A few days ago, I finally published it. But with no strong following, ranking high is tough. Still, I m pushing forward, trying to get users and make an impact. That s my story. Hope you find it interesting and thanks for reading.
