"Build better habits, one day at a time – track, grow, and thrive."
The problem Habit-Builder solves
Many people struggle with maintaining consistency in their daily routines or forming new positive habits. The Habit Builder app helps users easily track, monitor, and manage their habits — whether it's exercising, reading, meditating, or sleeping early. It provides a simple and intuitive interface to visualize progress, stay motivated with quotes, and build long-lasting routines.
It solves the problem of forgetfulness and lack of motivation by providing visual habit tracking and daily encouragement. With authentication and personalized habit logging, users can manage their goals securely and effectively.
Challenges we ran into
One of the biggest challenges we faced was deploying the backend and ensuring it worked seamlessly with the frontend hosted on Vercel. We ran into CORS errors, misconfigured environment variables, and issues with proxy setup during development.
We overcame these by:-
-Configuring CORS properly in our Express backend
-Using .env files on both client and server with correct keys
-Switching from local URLs to deployed Railway URLs for API requests
-Testing endpoints using tools like Postman before integration
