No tasks complete, sad sad Harnold.
Happy Harnold, almost all goals complete!

Inspiration: We have all downloaded a habit tracker, used it for a week, and then never opened it. The problem isn’t the tracking, its that there is no reason to come back. WE wanted to fix that by recreating Tamagotchis to make you feel responsible for something, with a little goose twist. Enter Harnold. He is a goose and he needs you.

How it works: HonkBuddy is a habit tracker where your daily habits keep Harnold happy. You log your habits and every time you complete a daily goal, Harnold reacts. Consistency over time unlocks accessories for Harnold like sunglasses and a tiny backpack. We're also working on passive-aggressive emails from Harnold himself if you haven't checked in. Built in tracker for essentials like hydration, exercise, sleep and studying. Incentives for keeping up with streaks and completing all habits. Goose caricature keeps users coming back.

Accomplishments: And idea that is capable of serving our demographic directly. An attractive design and character that’s truly unique to HonkBuddy.

Challenges: Merging 2 different AI environments for a consistent final product. Having the habit trackers actually update when interacted with.

What we learned: Bridging design and logic. Pattern identification when referencing specific items or files and identifying context when prompting.

Built With: Loveable Cursor Via type script & CSS Design: figma, canva React for UI

What’s Next: Tracking with friends: allows users to share progress with friends and help keep each other on track. Feature to add habits unique to the user’s lifestyle to create a more customizable experience. Yearly and monthly calendar spread out to see how habits have been completed over longer periods of time.
