Hello Techies, Welcome Back. I hope you are all doing well.

Ok, I know you are not interested in reading anything more than: What’s this title? ChillPill? Am I nuts? Did I post my chat with my friends?

What Is This Title?

This is an app idea.

I am planning to build this app along with you people.

No, it’s not a startup or an organization. And I am too lazy to start a revolutionary movement against the 70-100 hrs work week.

It’s just a simple idea to improve my programming with you people. And if possible some of my habits too.

The Problem

How many times have you planned this:

I’ll go hit the gym from tomorrow at 5 am, and I’ll do this forever. If you are like me it would be going on a walk.

But, how many days did you go?

Well, I did that for 1 and a half days. Yay, it’s huge.

Then, I heard a video.

It said if you do some kind of physical activity daily you will become better and smarter and more beautiful than 90% of people.

I snoozed my alarm for 2 hours saying I’d better let them be ahead of me and sleep.

Not only this but for anything I decide to do like finances or socializing(I am an introvert!).

I always quit, almost always even before I start.

The Concept: ChillPill

What if the reminders of the tasks are given differently?

And even when you commit a task it warns you about whether you’ll be able to do it or you are just joking.

For example, I want to walk every day at 5 am for 1 hour.

The app will ask me a few questions.

1. When do you wake up normally?
2. How many hours have you ever undertaken a physical activity?

If I answer both of them this way 8 am and never.

Then it would say don’t joke around and set something realistic. Like: wake up at 7.45 am and walk around for 10 mins.

That’s the easiest and most probable way to do it.

I am not too sure if it can solve the problem but no loss in trying at least my coding skills will improve.

And yes I’ll build this using flutter-firebase-dart and whatever else is needed.

Majorly, cause its fast, easy, and cross-platform.

I know you must be thinking why not Python? It’s great for apps just that.
