Confetti - Celebrate positive daily habits

If anyone's interested in hearing about how Danny and I came to work together on Confetti, as well as my advice on how to meet a co-founder on the Internet, I shared my story and advice here: https://medium.com/@wilsonplau/i...

Hey Makers! 🚀 I created Confetti with my co-founder Wilson that I met on r/SideProject in May of 2019. Confetti is a fun and colorful platform for building positive habits or avoiding negative ones. I’ve been tracking my habits with pen and paper for years, so I decided that my self-improvement tracking needed an upgrade. I built Confetti so I can track my progress, similar to how I would track the growth of a business. Tracking my habits has become a ritual that has changed my life for the better. By making simple habit changes every day, I’ve become more self-disciplined, motivated, and productive version of myself. For this reason, I designed a platform that allows self-improvement junkies like myself to track their progress towards goals and build habits on a weekly, monthly, and yearly basis. Because let’s face it, learning Japanese, becoming a juggler, learning to cook, or quitting smoking doesn’t happen without daily commitment. Since new year’s resolutions are ripe for concurring, we decided it was a good time to share our creation with all of you.

I really love this! Also if you guys could add a way to re-order habits on the main page, that would be wonderful :)

I really like Confetti. The animations are smooth, it works as advertised BUT something very important is missing: there's no way to add a habit that you want to do X times per week. Say I wanna exercise 3 times a week. I don't care if that's a Monday, Wednesday and Friday, or a Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. I just wanna do it 3 times per week. The problem is that if I don't do it on specific, pre-chosen days, Confetti will consider me a failure, even if I actually do it 3 times a week.

Nice work! Love the micro-animation of confetti when a task is marked 'complete'! Nice touch that will help encourage users to complete a task that is akin to popping bubble wrap.

Hi Danny and Wilson, I love the simple nature and colorful visuals of the app. Great jobs you guys! One small thing is that do you have a "sound effect" for the confetti? You guys already have the visual feedback so I think having audio feedback as well would definitely enhance the overall experience. Also, when the users got to 100%, do you think there should be a special kind of confetti or message should pop up?

Nice polished side project :). I always found products in this space to be a bit of a paradox considering the audience, i.e. people who need help changing their behavior, so get them to change their app-using behavior in order to change other behaviors. Reframed..."How might we lighten the paradox of requiring app-usage behavior in order to succeed changing other behaviors?" For instance, once you setup Confetti, the data that powers everything are manual binary inputs (yes/nos). I think the challenge isn't getting that input, it's getting that input in a context that doesn't require a person to change their "rhythm" to provide it (i.e. sitting down at night, opening the website, navigating your dashboard and clicking stuff). A potential solution would be a mobile app, but more specifically a super-duper light-weight "headless" app that exists only to power push-notifications (or maybe even a progressive web app?). All it would do is push notiifcations to your phone/watch with the choices directly on the notification (i.e "did you do X, yes/no"). All other consumption and management would still be done in the main website, but it could potentially be a great hook for the target audience. It's a bit meta, but it could be a way to ease-in to the muscle of changing your behavior in preparation to actually change the other habits you list in the app.

Since this is a web app, it would be great if you added a touch image / metatags. I added this to my Apple home screen and it’s just a screenshot of the page. Cool app!

Hi Danny and Wilson, love your product, beautiful and useful! I have been tracking my habits exactly this way in Google sheets, so this is great One suggestion, it would be great to be able to assign something to x times a week instead of to specific days of the week. I want to workout 3x a week but I don't have specific set days for it Thanks and keep up the good work!

I am impressed by your story! That's incredible!

Great idea Danny. This will certainly help people to stay motivated. Happy New Year.

Really nice product guys! Excellent, clean interface.

It's a great app. I hope you will soon launch Android app for this

Very nice and beautifully executed!

A perfect tool for beginning of Jan ;)

Feels really nice to use! Really well designed. I want to exercise at least 2x a week, but not on designated days. Is there any way to track this now?

Is it possible to set it up so that completing something "x times per week" still continues the streak?

Hi @wilsonplau & @dan_sapio. How do I mark a habit as "complete" for a previous day? For example, I started a resolution yesterday but didn't discover Confetti until today. Also, what are the differences between the free tier & premium tier of Confetti?
