HostageFund

Hey everyone! 👋 I started HostageFund as a crazy experiment to get back into shape. I was 6 months-deep into the lockdown and 30 pounds overweight! One day, I just wired a pile of cash to a friend and asked him to burn it if I did not send him daily video footage of my workouts. 💸🔥 I'm posting on PH today so... Obviously, I didn't miss a day and no one burned my money. 💪🏻 --- Fast forward a couple months and I've built an app to help others experience the power of loss aversion and irrevocable commitments. It's not the most polished product yet, but it definitely works. The current commitment-follow-through rate is holding strong @ 100%. 🙌 --- It would be fair to label the product as in a "Beta" phase, but it works! If you have a habit you would like me to hold you accountable to, sign up! HostageFund has worked miracles for me and my early adopters, and I just want to see how many others I can help get back on the wagon! 😊 --- Bonus: I haven't figured out monetization yet, so it's still 100% free to have your workouts reviewed (as long as you don't quit)! ⚠️ Currently, only Canadian dollars can be held hostage but USD support is coming any day now.

This is such a novel way of encouraging healthy habits. Kudos to the maker :)

Great way to encourage healthy habits!
