I'm Building a Productivity App That Uses Your Heroes Instead of Streaks
Hey everyone! 👋
Today I'm starting a project I've been thinking about for a while, and I've decided to build it completely in public.
The idea came from a habit that unexpectedly worked for me.
I have a cupboard covered with photos of scientists, inventors, artists, and people I deeply admire people like Leonardo da Vinci, Nikola Tesla, Marie Curie, Alan Turing, A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, and many others.
Whenever I made a promise to myself (like avoiding junk food) and broke it, I would remove one of their photos from my cupboard with my own hands.
It sounds simple, but it worked because I wasn't losing points or breaking a streak I was losing a symbol of someone I admired.
That made me wonder:
What if a productivity app was built around admiration instead of streaks?
So I'm building Hall of Legends.
The idea is simple:
- Choose the people who inspire you.
- Make promises to yourself.
- Keep those promises to grow your Hall.
- Break them, and your Hall changes.
- Stay consistent to recover and unlock new legends.
This isn't meant to replace habit trackers. It's an experiment in making discipline feel more personal and meaningful.
From today onward, I'll be posting daily updates designs, features, mistakes, progress, and lessons learned.
I'd genuinely love your feedback because I want to build something people actually enjoy using.
Day 0 ✅
Today's progress:
- ✔️ Brand name finalized
- ✔️ Logo direction chosen
- ✔️ Color palette decided

What would motivate you more: losing a streak, or seeing a mentor you admire disappear from your Hall after breaking a promise?
