I made a gamified quit nicotine app that got me to 12 months smoke-free

Hacker News

Hi HN! I built Weanie, a mobile app that helps people quit nicotine by gradually reducing intake through a gamified plan. Try it here: https://weanie.app Instead of quitting cold turkey, Weanie creates a smart wean off schedule tailored to each person’s habit. It also includes mini games to fight cravings. I designed it after struggling to quit myself. Now I’ve been smoke-free for 12 months. I designed and built this solo. Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback!
