@espitia7 - love the concept of building a social experience to encourage positive habits. That said, this has been tried in different ways many times. What inspired you to build this? Reminds me of Complete (RIP, cc @jtzou).

@rrhoover @jtzou Hi Ryan! Indeed it has. I actually took a shot at the problem with another app - Habit Streaks. It was a simple habit tracker which lead me to build Tribes. The full story (5 min read) is here: https://medium.com/@espitia7/wha... Creating habits is hard in it of itself and doing it by yourself is even harder. So I took another approach at the problem. Using your friends as accountability partners. Although some apps have used the community factor too, I felt they mimic'd popular apps with feeds and likes. Tribes focuses on bringing that sense of commitment and awareness with your close friends a.k.a. your tribe!

@chrismessina hi chris! Coach.me uses personal coaches or a community to help you achieve your goals. Tribes uses your close group of friends as accountability partners. While I haven't tried coach.me's personal coaching, I did try their app. It is a great app with an amazing UI (kudos to designers). But I felt that a community of unknown people supporting me wasn't as effective as my close buddies pushing me and vice versa. That's the core difference.

@espitia7 Download it , but delete it jsut after, and the reason is that can't do anything without giving you access to my contacts which is very weird for an app based on habits, what if i want to join tribe already there ...

@otymix Hi oty! I apologize for making it feel like Tribes is intruding. The only reason we ask for contacts permission is so you can add your friends to your Tribe. I'll be sure to explain it better with our next release. Your idea is great though. We do plan on having public Tribes so people can join without needing to create a Tribe with friends in the near future. Thank you for the genuine feedback :-)

Hello everyone, I wrote a short article on how I came to the idea of Tribes here: https://medium.com/@espitia7/wha... I also made a 1 minute video explaining what Tribes is about here:
I'd love any feedback I can get. Cheers!
