Happy Hacker Habits

Happy Hacker Habits is a programming themed habit-tracker/self-care app. Taking inspiration from an IDE, Happy Hacker uses the idea of committing tasks and deploying goals to motivate programmers to take care of their mental health. Happy Hacker comes with other 'extensions' and 'terminal' features like a daily quote and an AI chat bot.
