    I like the open source app Loop Habit Tracker, but there's definitely an advantage to using paper for stuff like this.

    You should provide some sort of default preview with a generic task to help entice the user to make their own.

    I think in this case I'd just prefer a conversation with a bot that produces the same results. The idea behind this is pretty weak to begin with and this is a dead trend.

    These configurator/generator UIs were always a pain, but this example is pretty bad. The "weekly" and "monthly" options are broken and only allow "7" or "31". That many checkboxes even goes completely off the page.

    That was enough for me to become immediately disinterested. I haven't looked at the page source, but I'm struggling to believe this was written by hand.

      I tried the one linked in this post and it's ok. The printed-page overruns are annoying but can be fixed by scaling the printing down to, say, 80%.

      A few weeks ago this (pretty good) calendar generator got posted to HN: https://blankcal.app

      It includes a preset for a yearly habit tracker (really just a year of checkboxes for one habit at a time — no option to print the habits on the calendar itself).

      Entering any non-Latin character in the routine input field also causes an instant error, "crashing" the app.

      Yeah, it does seem vibecoded or at least not really qa'd, but on the flip side this produces the more or less the exact calendar template I've been looking for for a while.

      I think this app really speaks to the value of AI driven coding - it's clearly less polished than what an experienced SWE would produce given several days of time but at the same time offers real value and solves a niche problem.

      Thanks for sharing OP, will use the app!
