First5Minutes, Your first 5 minutes decide your day

Hacker News

Hi everyone I have been experimenting with a simple idea. What if the first five minutes of your day decided the rest? I built First5Minutes, a small web app that helps you start strong. You choose one meaningful mission for the day and complete it with quick photo, video or text proof. I created it to fix my own habit of overplanning and not starting. The focus is on doing one real thing each day, not maintaining long to do lists. Key features: • One mission per day for focus • Quick proof capture with photo, video or text • Optional partner verification for accountability • Streaks based on proof, not checkmarks Try it here → https://first5minutes.app No install or sign up wall. Just start a mission. I would love your feedback on: • Is this level of simplicity helpful or limiting • What part made or failed to make you feel you actually did something • Any friction in completing your first mission Built with Next.js, Supabase and Clerk. Thanks for checking it out. I appreciate your time and thoughts.
