  Habit Grove's daily mini-game — collect dew, dodge weeds, then plant your score into the shared community bloom.

Inspiration

Habits are easier to keep when they're shared. Habit Grove turns daily care into a small collective ritual: everyone in the subreddit tends the same seed.

What it does

Each day, the subreddit gets one shared seed. Players run a 30-second Phaser mini-game, collecting dew while dodging weeds, then plant their score into the community's shared bloom meter. If the group fills the meter before the day ends, the grove keeps its streak and a new seed appears tomorrow.

How we built it

Built on Devvit Web using the official client/server architecture: a Hono server handles daily state and scoring, and a Phaser-powered client renders the interactive mini-game inside a Reddit custom post.

Challenges we ran into

Getting the custom post's webview assets to resolve correctly inside Devvit's build pipeline, and wiring server-side context (@devvit/server) into a Hono app so we could call the Reddit API and create posts directly from a moderator menu action.

What we learned

How Devvit Web's client/server split and custom post entrypoints work under the hood, and how much a simple shared goal (one meter, one streak) can carry a daily retention loop.

What's next in habit-groove

Daily seed variety, lightweight social touches like community milestones, and mobile polish.
