Your goal tree doesn't have to start from a blank page anymore.

Another quick one from building Retic solo.

Things got busier on my end. I took on a bigger role at work a few weeks back, so the coding time is even thinner than the two-kids-and-a-full-time-job routine I wrote about here before. Still chipping away on the commute, one screen at a time.

One thing that got finished in those windows: browsing other people's goal trees and adopting one as your own starting point. We call it a Trail. Instead of staring at an empty tree trying to figure out how to break down "run a marathon" or "read more this year," you pick someone's trail for it and it becomes your tree, fully structured, from day one.

Attached is the actual screen. It's a marathon training trail, run/shoes/race-signup breakdown already there, one tap away from becoming your own tree.

Pre-registration is open at retic.io.

Curious if anyone else building something that expects users to structure their own data has found a good answer to the blank-page problem, beyond plain templates.
