Cool idea! I have always wondered something about the use case though: what prevents the user from lying on the app for social validation? Is the idea that the user has to consciously stay committed to this routine, or is there a software solution in place?

@ishan_dubey Thanks for your message Ishan! Actually, nothing prevents user from lying, the first goal with Drylendar is to help the user himself. If he's using the app the right way, I'm pretty sure he won't be tempted to lie on his consumption :)

@frboulais Yeah that makes sense, I understand! We once made a mental health tracker for a hackathon once and had to explain that it's okay that the user can lie about his mood, because at the end of the tracker it was supposed to be used an extension to therapy. Happy to see other people use a similar philosophy in products like that. Congratulations on the launch!

💡 Bright idea
It can be really interesting for athletes! I'll have to try it when I go alcohol-free for a few months!

Something tells me that your potential customers will be in the wrong state of mind to use the app. Anyway - good luck!

I’m currently playing with the idea of not drinking for a while and am very likely to quit forever. I also have a few friends who think about that as well Seems like going sober might become trendy soon and your app absolutely nails it: looks great yet is simple and minimalistic, has a social/community component which is key for willpower-related products. Props for not putting any significant features behind the premium paywall, I love buying premium versions but hate it when the app literally forces me to pay because the free version is barely usable - totally not the case here. However, I think getting purchases might turn out troublesome as the subscription is quite pricey (3x compared to my calorie tracking app, 30% more expensive than my todo app), yet, doesn’t give a lot of obvious, desired benefits except for mainly supporting the developer. I’d suggest taking a look at what the premium version can be enhanced/extended with

Congrats on the launch : ) I have a very curious idea, please pardon me if it deters from your original perspective. Why just alcohol? I mean, you can use the same gamification concept for any other addiction as well. A little tweak for the gamification for any addiction can go a long way for someone who wants to come out of their addiction. For starters, I want to cut down on my Tea/Caffeine intake, I can use the app for that purpose as well. It can be done for a sweet tooth, Drug addiction (though it's a little more sensitive issue), etc. The possibilities are endless. Doing this you will be able to gather more eyeballs. A quick question, what is the monetisation strategy? Cheers, and best wishes : )
