We have plenty of apps for meditation, but none to build a meditation habit. That is where headclear.in comes in.
1. Starting your meditation habit with 5 minutes or 10 minutes makes it very difficult to sustain as an habit, it would be better to start small and incrementally go to higher times. That is why at headclear.in started at 1 minute and everyday increases by 5 seconds. This reduces the friction for someone who wants to meditate. And this habit sustained over 6 months you are meditating for 15 minutes and you have a solid habit.
2. No streaks - motivation for habits especially meditation are much better if it is intrinsic rather than external. Streaks at some point often become a burden rather than a gift.
3. Without streaks how do you remain motivated. That is where the community comes in. I am working towards creating a community of people who want to build this habit along with me. I have added a url to the community in the website, please check it out if you like a headclear.in.
https://www.firstcontrib.com - This is a website I built so users can easily find personalised issues to contribute to.
Another one would be https://github.com/krishnanunnir/rmm. Which is a telegram bot server you can run on your machine along with a telegram bot to remotely grab screenshots and linux commands on your machine from your Telegram app.
This is a website I am building as a social media for my vernacular language(Malayalam), my main reasoning being
1. Facebook has a lot of Malayalam discussions and literature but they are lost past a few days, and it is very difficult to rediscover this content.
Basically we are losing out on quality content once Facebook has decided it is not viable to show a post algorithmically.
2. For vernacular languages niche content has largely been reduced to Youtube, but still there are no platforms for discussion on these topics.
3. his might sound generic but we often hear about stories of kids chancing on content on the internet and developing a passion for a subject, what are the chances this can happen if you are not English speaking?
We can learn from China on this, even though it is a population that is largely shielded from the rest of the world, their adoption of native langauge on the internet have allowed for proliferation of all kinds content to everyone.
4. Localisation is the future. Being able to use our own language has allowed a lot of people to explode on the scene and make a living - ask tiktokers.
I am not yet done with the features, but a priority for me now is to do translations to Malayalam and get audience coming.
Hey! I have been following you on twitter. Your tweets are very insightful.
There was a sharp rise in profits during April and May, could it be because of more people staying home and learning new stuff or is it due to any other strategy you adopted?
