    [DEV] Avocation - A beautiful habit-development app that also teaches you the science behind habits

    Posted: 11 Feb 2020 11:45 AM PST

    Our story and why we built Avocation:

    Hello! I am David, a software developer who used to be terrible at keeping up with new habits. I tried countless of apps which I usually abandoned after a couple of days because they either put too much pressure on me or simply failed to motivate me enough. It seemed like nothing works and I thought maybe I am just too lazy...

    Half a year ago my girlfriend Daria and me decided to dedicate more time to learning about how exactly we could succeed establishing our desired habits. We have read countless articles and many of the currently popular books about the science behind habits. During this time we have discovered so many things that fundamentally changed our ways of thinking that we thought about sharing these learnings in some way.

    Since I am a developer and Daria is a very talented designer, the answer to how we wanted to share the ideas was quite simple. An app.

    Well, there are countless of apps already available and I almost tried every single one of them. Most of them are very similar: You create an entry, a reminder and get some graphs on how you perform. While these apps can work quite well for some people, we had a frustrating experience with most of them. Some of them were too aggressively monetised, some focusing too much on data, some of them were basically just a "streak". So we collected some useful insights and put all of them into a new product called "Avocation".

    With Avocation we focused on two main things:

    • Simplicity
    • Education

    Simplicity

    First of all we wanted something super easy to use. We found that a lot of apps offer so many different ways to track your habits, that often it's quite hard and time consuming to find your way around them. Also many of the apps which are well designed are only available on iOS. So we made the app as simple as possible to use and focused heavily on making it as pretty as possible.

    Grow a plant instead of maintaining a streak

    Instead of streaks we thought about letting you grow a plant while you grow personally. This little plant will grow when you work on your goals, without all the anxiety of losing something like a streak. Sometimes a break is important, so if you don't do your habits, your plant will temporarily stop growing.

    Learn

    Now let's come to the education aspect. This was one of the most important things that we found most apps lack. After all the research we have done, we found that the most important step to establish habits in your life is to know the science behind them. There is a ton of material available online from countless studies that can help you understand why you failed in the past and how to do better in the future.

    But getting that information can be a lot of work so we summarized our learnings in lessons which we put into a learning section in Avocation. This section currently consists of 10 lessons which can be read in around 2-4 min each. All of the information will give you a solid foundation to build your new habits on.

    Pricing

    Last but not least I want to be completely open with you about our pricing because that's something that bothered me a lot with other apps:

    We offer Avocation for free, but with a Membership option to support us. Since Avocation is a side-project we do not depend on any type of income from it so we reduced it to a minimum. The reason why we added this is to at least try to cover the expenses caused by running our website and distributing Avocation on Google Play and Apple App Store.

    The free option allows you to track up to 5 habits (other apps usually restrict you to 3), but you can track them as much as you want. The only second restriction is that you can use more colors for your habits, which is something purely cosmetic. Everything else is completely for free in the app! The price of the membership is 2,50 € per month or 20 € per year.

    Avocation is a project we are super passionate about. Our goal is to help people easily develop habits, which we think is one of the most powerful methods to fundamentally change your life.

    We are happy about any kind of feedback, so feel free to share your thoughts!

    [DEV] Almighty Volume Keys: Control music playback and sound recording (and more) using the hardware volume buttons

    Posted: 11 Feb 2020 06:53 AM PST

    This is my first app released on play store, really curious to here some thoughts, feedback, suggestions, questions.

    Play store: Almighty Volume Keys

    I needed to control music and sound recording with the hardware volume keys. So not having to turn on the display and fiddle with the touch screen. Couldn't find an app for this so developed one myself and it's finally done, seems to work well. It became a volume button remapper, can do lot's of stuff. You can still use the volume keys to change volume pretty much as you usually do. Does not require rooting or executing any adb command. Works with screen off just as well as on.

    Other volume key remappers exist, like BxActions and Button Mapper. Almighty Volume Keys is different as it allows you to assign different volume-key-commands depending on the state of the device (e.g if music is playing or not). For example Volume Up->Down could be set to skip track when music is playing, and to turn on flashlight when music isn't playing. I found a reliable way to achieve this using an accessibility service in combination with a media-session and some other tricks.

    Use the volume keys to:
    • Control music (play/ pause/ skip track/ previous track)
    • Record sound
    • Turn on and off flashlight
    • Turn on and off Bluetooth
    • Set sound mode (sound/ vibrate/ mute)
    • Turn on and off Do Not Disturb
    • Tell time (with tts-voice)
    • Run a Tasker task (can do pretty much anything)
    • And also, change the volume

    Coming up:
    • Announce (with tts-voice) time and sender of previous text message (volume key triggered action).
    • Announce the music currently playing, song name and artist (volume key triggered action).
    • Improvements of The Sound Recorder (the addon-app for recording sound), to manage saved recordings in app.
    • Translations.

    Don't hesitate to come with suggestions.

    Request from Google: un-break clipboard manager apps

    Posted: 10 Feb 2020 04:16 PM PST

    As of Android 10, apps can't access the clipboard in the background, which means all clipboard manager apps are quite useless. Only very specific apps can do it: Keyboard apps. Or that your app has a real focus on itself.

    https://www.xda-developers.com/android-q-blocks-background-clipboard-access/

    https://developer.android.com/about/versions/10/privacy/changes#clipboard-data

    This is yet another restriction to add to the list. Previous ones were call-recording apps that got ruined on Android 9-10 (granted, was never an official API ,but still very useful and hopefully next Android version will have an API for it) , there was something about call-log and SMS permissions a lot of talk is about storage permission being replaced with the terrible SAF API, and SAW permission will be soon a target, and many other restrictions that ruined various features of apps.

    As a user of one of the popular clipboard apps out there (Native clipboard), I hated to see that now I have to use it only via the keyboard app (and how convenient: Google got it on Gboard).

    While it's nice to have clipboard management on keyboard, it's not nice to have it allowed only for keyboards. Some apps (like AirDroid) used to be able to sync clipboard data with the PC, for example. Now they can't, unless they are truly focused.

    Please consider starring these issues, requesting to either bring this functionality back, or have an alternative solution:

    https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/123461156 - the main one

    https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/135471818

    https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/131947383

    https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/132684916

    https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/138813044

    https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/132274762

    Note: While I wrote "clipboard permission", I don't mean it as a permission per se. Just access to it. A possible solution would be of course to make it an official permission that the user can grant, just like some of the requests here suggest.

    Messaging app with second inbox for automated messages

    Posted: 11 Feb 2020 07:55 AM PST

    My text messaging inbox is filled with 2-factor authentication and other automated messages interspersed with actual people. Is there a way I can direct all of the automated messages to a parallel inbox where I still receive them but don't see them unless I go looking? When I search I just find people arguing about text messages vs dedicated app for 2fa, not what I'm looking for.

    Competitive Maths

    Posted: 11 Feb 2020 04:29 AM PST

    Hi,

    What do you use to keep your brains active? I love competing in maths (mostly mental arithmetic). Are there any specific exercises that you do?

    I have recently published a free android app to compete in different math categories: factorials, percentages, remainders, etc.

    No disruptive ads or anything like that. I would love to get your opinion and any suggestions on the future path.

    Cheers,

    Monetisation discussion

    Posted: 11 Feb 2020 04:05 AM PST

    Hey Guys, my questions address to mobile devs specifically. So, anyone who does monetise with ads ( I believe - it's the majority of indies ) I have a couple of questions in regards to monetisation.

    1) Are there any competitive alternatives for AdMob/unity ads? (I checked some forums but still looking on some real live feedback) 2) What is the best mediation solution for low volume traffic apps? ( preferably, based on your experience) 3) What ad type best suits hyper-casual games? 4) Could you share more narrowed by my topic groups in Reddit? thank you in advance!

    Looking for alternative to vitrina for muzei.

    Posted: 11 Feb 2020 06:14 AM PST

    Vitrina does not appear to work very well with A10, and there doesn't seem to be any updates from the dev. I was wondering if there's other apps for muzei the can load images from subreddits?

    Hey I'm the dev of Yogi!

    I'm glad to announce the release of my first workout app!

    I also hope to get feedback and useful tips from you guys, to make my app even better and useful for us!

    Apps that Take picture upon login. Fingerprint use

    Posted: 11 Feb 2020 06:13 AM PST

    Are there any apps that take a picture on login when using your fingerprint? All I've seen is PIN and while that's still an option it seems we are moving away from it.

    Note taking/scanner app for physical books

    Posted: 11 Feb 2020 05:30 AM PST

    Hi does anyone know of an app either for ios or Android that can scan sections of a hard copy book, turn that text into editable text so you can add notes about what you're reading and then list each note under the books title which is then grouped within your library. Also I would like it to be able to scan and recognise book titles (possibly connect to goodreads) so I can group the notes without having to manually enter the books name. Obviously what I'm after is an app that provides note taking functions similar to how Kindle does but for physical books. Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
