Hey hunters 👋

I’m Floran, a product designer, and Marava is a side project I built for myself.

I wanted to keep track of my weight loss, and my coach told me that the best way to see change is through pictures, because weight scale has unpredictable variations that can discourage you. I wanted something that allows to take photos month-over-month, with an easy comparison.

So I designed Marava around one simple ritual: once a month, take a photo and log your stats. The app lines everything up so you can actually see the change over time, not just a number on a graph.

A few things I cared about:

A good overlay to position yourself and compare your photos
Privacy first: photos stay hidden behind an overlay until you choose to show them
Goal: a way to define what you want to achieve, so it helps you to stay motivated.
Monthly cadence: less noise, more focus on the real trend
A recap video at the end, so you get something to look back on

It’s still early and I’d love your feedback: what would make you stick with a monthly check-in? Anything missing from the tracking?

Thanks for checking it out 🙏
