My doctor told me I was dehydrated.
Not just "drink more water." It was actually affecting my health.
I thought I was fine. I was not.
I have an Owala. I live in Las Vegas. I figured I had it handled. I did not have it handled.
So I started tracking my water intake. But I kept falling off. No accountability. No stakes.
So I thought: what if I could compete with my friends?
Not just track water. Keep score. See who was actually staying hydrated. Make it a game across different cities.
This one was more involved than the Apple Music tool. Real accounts. A leaderboard. Multiple people. I had to figure things out I hadn't figured out before.
It started as a web app. Now it's on TestFlight.
My friends and I track each other's progress. It gets competitive.
It's not a startup. It's just something I built because I needed it.
Each one of these gets a little more ambitious. I'm not sure where that ends.
