I personally believe in the power of good habits. So app is just a part of thing that I believe can help other people

November 20, 2022 I think we found something interesting...

With Your Habit, we are experimenting a lot, and it's really fun things to do in business. Recently we have crossed the 20k downloads goal, with ups and downs in DAU/MAU. The question for most of us I believe is the same: how to increase acquisition, but keep low costs and have a good retention/conversion?

During the experiments and endless talks with other entrepreneurs we have realised that we need to spend our limited time on two main things for now:

  1. Viral effect
  2. Retention

Value capturing is the next challenge. We already have some ideas that I will share in the next posts. Let's start from a Viral effect:

So, it's TikTok time. Yes, not being a real big fan of it, but we need to be agile and find a channels of acquisition with a new audience. And TikTok is amazing in tooling for producing pretty good content without top-notch equipment. Noise reduction, filters, music editor, and you have pretty good quality content, in a matter of 30-60 minutes.

Discord. I have never used it before, but we took a risk and create a really simple small community with a Discord. And it's great. Even though we have less than 10 users in Discord, we have direct communication with early adopters and enthusiasts. Already got some great advice.

Dynamic links from Firebase. Since we are using Firebase as our backend solution, I found that tool super useful and pretty easy to set up. The concept is pretty simple: you send the link, and it's open the App on a certain page, or the App Store/Play store depending on the platform. And it's should be something interesting to share, so:

We introduced challenges. Now users can create a challenge and invite a friend in one click. Along with public challenges that already suggesting set of habits that can help user's straight ahead

Science-based articles inside the app. We are decided to mix articles with list of actions to do, so it's easy to start acting. it's improved the engagement time and should pay back in long-term when Google's search engine will pick it from our web-page.

To conclude, it was a pretty hard time refactoring, re-designing (I took a Google UI/UX course), adding analytics, and starting the TikTok channel and Discord. Refactored code/UI base gave us much more agility for testing and adding new features. The TikTok/Discord gave us a feedback of how we present our product and what feature to build next. Along with a properly integrated analytics, it's a game changer of making decision.

Let's see how it play out, but I think we really close to finding a product/market fit.

Best,
Alex

August 10, 2022 Refactoring time

Hi there. After testing the app in the field for a while, it's shown good use and apparition from people. Good learnings here is a properly configured Google analytics at the start (events) provides good data after a few months of product testing.

But, like always when you do an MVP, code based became messy pretty quick
So, I decided to put my hands on and refactor the code. Clean it up and prepare for adding a more requested feature.
Cool things ahead, we are almost reached 20 000 downloads.
Code base is clean now, and ready to scale. Soon we will start experiment with the monetization to test how the business is working out

January 4, 2022 We launched Goal Planner Online

I like to plan ahead and then stick to the plan with tasks and habits.
Last year I did a custom plan in Google Drawing with goals and tasks, and achieve ~60% of it. This year I decided to add a tool for this problem into our YourHabit ecosystem.
It took three days with ideation, experimentation, and fun media creation with real colored paper and scissors.
Check it out!

December 20, 2021 New habit planner online

I wake up and realize: I need to catch the marketing ways. And New Year Resolution is perfect one for app like YourHabit. So I decided to build a web tool which turn your New Year Resolution into exact list of action that can be done and tracked in the app. And it was quite fun to draw images to the interactive tool too.

December 6, 2021 Web platform support

I personally like Web, so it was interesting how Flutter will handle it. It took me some time to remove platform specific feature, but apart of this it was pretty simple and smooth. Good job Flutter team! So this is a first step for building API for other apps integration, so stay tuned!

December 2, 2021 More localization!

Localization is usually a pretty hard task. But interesting, when you study in the international group in the University, you have a bunch of people with different mother tongs. So after I found free solution based on google spreadsheet, my friends done the rest. So now we support Chinese, Arabic, Russian, Swedish and many more languages. And according to statics, majority of the user instantly change the language in the new update

November 26, 2021 We are expanding the team

So I really happy to announce that my friend Hammed join yourhabit project. Interesting how important to create a network before you start you venture. You never know who will join you on you journey. But I certainly know that at the end of the way only people are driving innovation and value creation

October 31, 2021 We have reached 5000 users and have a new name!

Now we have a new name: Your Habit.
And I like it, seems like it is time to be more friendly for Search engines, will see.
On the other hand I introduced dark mode that been frequently requested by users.
Today I did a YouTube shorts, so next step is TikTok and more experiments with all new formats for better marketing

October 5, 2021 User base have reached 1000 users

So, the social feature significantly affect on user acquisitions. For the recent 3 days yourhabit.me have reached more the 1000 users and keep growing. That was interesting to see how social/viral effect works!

Happy with the results of of experimenting and incremental updates

Stay tuned!

September 26, 2021 Friends competitions in Yourhabit.me

After having a first stable version on both platforms, I decided to add social interaction to the App before marketing campaign. So here we are, now you can compete with friends, follow each other, see what other are doing!
Next step is define the delivery channels and start pushing app to the top!
