Hello Hacker News community! I'm excited to introduce Don't Break the Chain, a project born from my own need for a visual progress tracker to achieve goals through consistency.

I made this after reading the the story from Brad Isaac about an advice he received from Jerry Seinfeld.

"He told me to get a big wall calendar that has a whole year on one page and hang it on a prominent wall. The next step was to get a big red magic marker. He said for each day that I do my task of writing, I get to put a big red X over that day.

[Then Jerry said]: After a few days you’ll have a chain. Just keep at it and the chain will grow longer every day. You’ll like seeing that chain, especially when you get a few weeks under your belt. Your only job is to not break the chain."

This tool is designed for anyone who wants to track progress in a visual way.

What goals are you working on currently? I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback!
