I am often trying to build new habits, however, I normally lose momentum after a few weeks.

This summer, Instead of working on my will power or my habits, I decided to build something to punish me when I fail to follow through with my commitments.

Kommit is a free to use web app where you can create commitments and when you fail to stick to them, you are forced to donate to charity.

Like a true programmer, I started building Kommit without doing any research and I’ve since found out that similar apps already exist. However, in several ways I think Kommit is already nicer to use and more flexible.

Kommit has helped me reach a 112 day streak studying Korean on Duolingo, and it’s helped my partner keep a daily diary for the last 6 weeks. Hopefully it can help some HNers with their 2022 New Year’s resolutions!

PS If you don’t have anyone who can review your commitment, feel free to email me at [e-mail] and I’ll be happy to help :)
