New App cancan Coming Soon: An Indie Developer's Philosophy on Building Apps

Hi team!

This is Praxo Studio.
It’s been quite an eventful year, and now we’re seeing the end of it.

In the October newsletter, we announced a major Duit update, but it’s been postponed for a bit.
We suddenly got inspired and decided to release a new app instead.
Development is almost complete, and after a bit more polishing, we plan to release it around early December.
The name is cancan, a habit tracking app.

We want to make apps, but we always struggle with what kind of app to make. But in the end, ‘apps that I, as a developer, would always use’ tend to last longer.
Most importantly, I can test it every day while using it every day.
On the other hand, apps I don’t use myself don’t hold my interest, and I lose motivation to update them.

So we made it again this time.
An app I use: cancan!

cancan is a simple app for recording the habits you want to keep, on the days you choose.
It’s especially great for those who want to start new habits at the beginning of the year.
Both I (the developer) and my friend (the designer) prefer simple and convenient ways to record things, so we ended up making this kind of app again.
It was meant to be a test app, but we’ve been using it every day since we made it.

We’ll continue making apps we use ourselves—apps that can last. Stay tuned.
In next month’s newsletter, we’ll share our year-end review.
