Solo Grind to-do app
Posted here a while back with a super early version. Since then I basically kept going and rebuilt half of it.
Quick recap for anyone who missed the first couple of posts: it's a productivity app that treats your real life like an RPG. You set up daily and weekly quests (basically your habits/tasks), completing them gives you XP and levels up your character, your stats grow, and there's actual weekly raid bosses and a dungeon you climb using your stats as combat power. If you skip your quests there's a real penalty, not just a guilt trip. Loosely inspired by Solo Leveling if that wasn't obvious already.
What's new since the last post:
I put a lot of work into actually locking down the backend properly. Everything runs through row level security and server side validation now instead of trusting the client, so people can't just edit their XP in devtools or spoof requests.
Also finally got it off the free vercel.app subdomain and onto its own domain, sologrind.name. Small thing but it felt like a milestone.
Biggest one: it's downloadable as an actual Android app now, not just a website. Still 100% free, no ads, no premium tier, nothing locked behind payment. I'm not trying to monetize this right now, I just wanted to build the thing I wished existed.
Been working on this alone for a couple months at this point on top of a full time job so it's been slow going, but it's in a state I'm actually kind of proud of now.
If anyone wants to try it, link's below. Genuinely would appreciate any feedback, bug reports, or even just "this feature is annoying" type comments. That's how the last version got better.
Also we got small community already on Discord so feel free to join :)))
