Ask HN: Why won't GreenHabit succeed? (it's roast time)
My submission for PH Makers Festival - 'Green Earth edition' is in.
The last two weeks have been crazy! From the conception of the idea, building the app, websites, backend and to actually getting users to test the platform. In this short amount of time, I've done very little in the way of validation other than FB polls and comments in groups.
So I am turning to you to pull it apart.
I've only just taken a short breath to consider the next steps and in doing so, I realised that for me, this is not just a throw away hackathon project, that I've potentially stumbled on something that could actually make a difference.
I need your help!
I want to know what I've missed and what I need to do _next_ to get https://GreenHabit.app visible to the world.
Please visit the site and use the app. As a short overview the GreenHabit app is a Messenger bot that uses the proven scientific methods of habit change to help its' users adopt one green habit at a time. When the habit is achieved the user is granted an embeddable badge they can display on their blog or website. The habit 'score' is updated in realtime so for each new habit they adopt their score will grow. There is also an inbuilt referral system so the score aggregates habits you have influenced in others, in other words for each user or employee you onboard your score will grow by habits they achieve making your individual or your companies' score a indicator of your green influence.
The message is simple: Start a habit. Save our planet! * No more waiting for governments, regulators and corporations; * Our individual efforts collectively can make a difference; * Amplify your green habits.
For GreenHabit to turn into anything of value it needs mass adoption so I am open your contributions, articles, ideas... Over to you HN:
