Show HN: Helix – a habit tracking app

I have had a very similar idea for a tracking app for a looong time. This is by far the closest I've seen to my idea.

I would definitely use something like this. However, I would primarily want to use a mobile app for daily tracking. It would also be nice to be able to set a daily reminder time for each item I'm tracking so that I remember to fill it in.

Is this just a fun side project, or do you plan to monetize somehow?

Thank you for your reply!

Helix works on mobile quite well already, and soon I am planning to make it progressive, that is you can add it to the home screen, it'll work offline, sync with the server when it can, and be essentially indistinguishable from a native app.

I haven't implemented notifications yet because I'm not using them myself, but I'm definitely planning to, apparently many people find them useful.

Yes, I am planning to monetize it, once I'll complete all the main requested features, it'll cost $12/year. But everyone who joins during the beta and sends me feedback will get free lifetime accounts =)

Quick question: once you monetize it, will it remain open-source?
