The problem HabitGlow — Gamified Habit Tracker Mini App solves
The problem it solves
Web3 has revolutionized how we build wealth — but left personal growth behind.
Millions in the crypto space chase financial freedom, yet struggle with the same old problems: poor habits, burnout, lack of focus, and no sustainable systems for self-betterment. Existing habit apps are disconnected, uninspiring, and belong to a Web2 world that this audience is moving beyond.
Today, over 575 million people are in Web3, yet there’s no native space where they can develop not just their portfolios, but themselves.
How HabitGlow improves this
HabitGlow bridges this gap by making personal growth social, gamified, and economically rewarding — all inside the Web3 ecosystem.
We’re starting with a*** Farcaster Mini App***, because for this audience, it’s critical to have everything in one place — and now, even habits can live within their favorite purple app. No need to switch contexts: habit-building becomes part of the same flow where they already connect, share, and transact.
But this is just the beginning.
By building on Base, we’re creating the foundation for something much bigger: a platform that can serve as a simple, welcoming entry point for the millions who are not yet in crypto. For those curious about Web3 but hesitant to engage with complex tools, HabitGlow offers a low-friction, familiar experience, driven by universal needs: self-improvement, connection, and progress.
We embed self-improvement into the daily digital routines of Web3 users.
We turn habit-building from a lonely chore into a shared, incentivized journey.
We align with what this audience already values: progress, status, ownership, and community.
This is not a side project.
HabitGlow is here to define a new category:
self-growth as a native on-chain experience.
We’re building for the long term:
To help people grow — not just financially, but fully.
Challenges I ran into
This project started as just an idea — a vision of creating a space where personal growth could finally live inside Web3. But I’m not a dev. I had no technical background — only a clear mission and a lot of determination.
I used AI tools to build HabitGlow step by step. At times, it felt like having a superpower. But just as often, it became a source of confusion: AI would misread official documentation, lead me into loops, or suggest things that didn’t work.
Eventually, I realized that blindly following instructions wasn’t working — so I began trusting my own judgment more.
I learned to search manually through documentation, find what mattered, and rewrite prompts until the AI finally “got it.”
More than once, I ignored the AI’s advice and tried things my own way — and the code started working.
I also created a system of regular resets: every few days I started a clean session, manually feeding in all the core logic again. It was slow, but it brought clarity.
What truly kept me going was the** Farcaster community**.
There were moments when I felt completely lost — and yet every time I reached out, even with basic questions, people responded with real generosity and support.
This project taught me more than just how to build an app.
It taught me how to learn in public, how to ask better questions, how to stay focused on what matters, and how to keep going even when the path isn’t clear.
HabitGlow is the result of that process — and the first step toward something much bigger.
