- Project Idea 1: We would love a team build an MVP app as a PWA or IOS app. The app would require a few relationships between the individual, the habit, and the circle. A person would track their daily habits and then share with a small circle of accountability buddies who would give them kudos like in the app Strava. We are happy to work with the team on concept and brainstorming. Happy
