GitHub for life. That's literally what I built because Notion wasn't enough.

Honest question first: does anyone else start something, go hard for 2-3 weeks, then completely lose motivation? Because that's been my whole life.

I'm a dev, 8+ years building software for clients. No problem shipping for other people. But my own stuff? I'd start a habit, track it in Notion, do it for 18 days, then one missed day turns into a week and suddenly the whole thing is dead.

The problem was I couldn't SEE my inconsistency. Notion doesn't guilt-trip you.

Todo apps make tasks disappear when you check them off. There's no proof you did anything.

So I thought: what if everything I care about (habits, tasks, goals, focus time) lived on one grid? Like GitHub contributions but for my actual life.

One look and I know if I'm showing up or not.

I built it in about 5 weeks. Called it loggd.life. Posted on Threads. First post got 20K views and 60+ signups in 12 hours. Apparently this hits a nerve.

79 days later: 1,476 users. 10 paying. €278 in revenue.

Not life-changing money. But here's the thing I didn't expect: my own app is the reason I'm still working on my own app. I check the grid every morning.

A gap in the grid feels personal now. I built this to fix my own motivation problem and it actually worked.

Did anyone else here build their product because they were frustrated with existing solutions for themselves? Curious if "being your own user" made the difference for you, too.
