Hipster Habit App
Here’s a bigger and cleaner version of the drawing I made the other day, which some people asked for. Unfortunately, my Illustrator and Photoshop skills, mixed with the fact that the pen I used sorta sucked, mean that the quality is still sorta crappy.
More “wouldn’t it be cool if” fun stuff around those Google Glasses (called Project Glass officially). I like that they’re thinking about crazy stuff this. And I’m bit afraid of the first product that gets launched by this team.
What is Budge?
I really like the snail on the phone calling you up to nag you to do something. It just looks so disgruntled. “What, it’s 8pm and you haven’t done your pushups yet?”
This new tour introduces you to the snail that will remind you to do stuff. Hi Budge!
Check out the tour or just jump in and pick a program!
Here’s one of Habit Labs, Inc.’s top secret technical drawings. Look for more sloppily illustrated answers to all your “how does bud.ge work?” questions soon.
Hehe! Here’s a screenshot of some of @budge’s recent favorite tweets. Our users love us … a lot.
“@budge I love this start up! If we were dating it would be about time to give bud.ge a key.”
Stoked to see a great core group of people emerging who love Budge as much as we do.
As a side note, Budge has me doing ‘real’ pushups for the first time ever. And a bunch of my girlfriends are doing 600-1000/pushups a month now, which is total a inspiration. There’s a strong lady club emerging.
We pushed out a new design for items on your friends page, which we really like.
- You can now like what people are doing, Instagram-style
- You now see in a little dot matrix the consistency of your check ins for that program. It’s an easy way to see just how close you (and others) are to making this a habit.
- We roll up 30-day stats, inspiring new personal challenges like “1,000 pushups in 30 days”
Little by little, we’re getting there.
This week, we’re focused on adding a getting a few more awesome programs in the system. Any special requests? Let us know!
We’ve caught the like bug.
Buster has caught the like bug worst of all of us!
Today I went from doing pushups on my knees to “real” pushup!
Look at some of the conversations on my checkins from the last few days. All these budge users have been educating/encouraging me… and it’s not just me - I see talk like this all over in the stream.
It feels like a little community is growing… who are these awesome people?
(Everyone else: come play too!)
