Folksable - Track habits by photo checkins to friends for accountability

🚀 Hello Product Hunt Community! I'm Excited to Introduce Folksable: Your New Habit Sidekick! 🌟 I'm Dhikshith Reddy, In late 2022, fuelled by a determination to improve my life, I set out to form new habits. With personal goals like learning to swim and making evening walks a habit for reflection, I soon realised existing habit-tracking apps lacked the social features crucial for motivation. As an independent developer, I crafted a solution: Folksable. It not only tracks progress but elevates the experience through social engagement. Delving into habit research, podcasts, and books, I reimagined the world of habit-building. What Sets Folksable Apart: 🤝 Social Contracts: Declare a new habit and form a social contract, fostering consistency within your social group identity. 📸 Photo Check-ins: Share photo progress with friends for a cheering squad. Optionally, share the music you're listening to during check-ins. ⏰ Precise Scheduling: Thoughtful decision for exact scheduling, going beyond standard habit-tracking apps. 😌 Delightful User Experience: Elegant design and delightful interactions bring calmness and zen to your habit-building journey. 🚫 Ad-Free Experience: Reduce friction between you and your habits with a distraction-free environment. 📅 Event Calendar: Click on "You have X events today" or navigate to the event calendar for precise scheduling insights. 🚀 Quick Check-in Access: "At a Glance" mini-player UI for quick check-ins, minimising friction and keeping you engaged. 🔐 Granular Privacy Controls: Customize privacy levels for each Ritual and Task, giving you control over what you share. 🤝 Collaborative Rituals: Invite friends to join rituals, sync schedules, and enjoy leaderboards and global rankings for collaborated rituals. 🎯 Ritual Goals (Coming soon): Define custom goals for rituals, adding a new dimension to your habit progress. 🔄 Backlog Insights (Coming soon): Understand reasons for missed check-ins, helping you identify patterns and improve consistency. 📊 Detailed Stats (Coming soon): Gain insights beyond check-in graphs with detailed stats and visualizations. 👂 Open to Feedback: As an independent developer, Folksable is open to your suggestions and quick weekly updates. Ready to Transform Your Habits? Folksable is a passion project, actively developed to make habit-building a positive and transformative journey. Your thoughts and insights are warmly welcomed as we continue to refine and enhance the app. Interested in trying it out? Let me know! I also have lots of new features planned for the future and I will release frequent content updates and bugfixes. Would love to hear your feedback and hope that you'll check it out! Thank you!

Hey Dhikshith, congrats on the launch, this is a really neat product! One thing I have to say is that "sharing photos with friend for accountability" feature really caught by eye, but from the demo video, looks like you are not prioritizing it. This might be just my personal opinion but I think this feature is the "aha moment" that makes me want to use the app :)

Folksable has transformed my approach to building habits. The Photo Checkins is like snapchat of habit tracking, and it made habit-forming into a shared experience, making me more committed and consistent. The photo check-ins not only track my progress but also serve as a personal motivation gallery. The app's simplicity and user-friendly design have made habit tracking a seamless part of my routine.
