Today is a very special day for me. I had this idea over 5000 days ago. That's almost 14 years. Some of you might not have even been alive. Meaning I've spent a life time putting it off, for a multitude of reasons. Most of which aren't worthy.
Much of this idea comes from that very place, someone who puts things off, plans on doing them tomorrow and then the next thing you know over a decade has gone by. My hope is that with Streaks With Friends you can start gaining a little progress and try to build some momentum that can take you into your future. I've spent many years trying to craft what works for me. If I can help one person improve their life it would have all been worth it. The idea has changed some over the years but I never stopped thinking about it.
I'd like to personally thank everyone at OpenAI, codex really put it some work on this one. Really all of humanity as a whole who we get to benefit from all the work they have done since the start of it all. No one person hasn't contributed one way or another and it doesn't go unnoticed. This of course would never be possible without you.
This is what it's all about. This is a tiny piece of what great things are to come in the future. And that future is going to benefit everyone. I truly believe it.
Anyways, here is Streaks With Friends. It's still a work in progress and always will be but you can go and build out any streaks/routine you want. Document helpful and valuable stats. Write whatever is on your mind. And share whatever you want from those metrics. There are template and community based routines and streaks to help you get started. You don't have to share anything you don't want to. Can be completely private or can share with the world. Up to you. I really hope you find some success getting on track and staying consistent. It can and will change you for the better.

๐ Total 10M+ steps walked together
๐คฏ Someone hit 1M+ steps by themselves
๐ Launched on Hacker News

๐ Built a stats/expenses/profit page for my build in public journey - martintale.com/stats/
๐ฌ Made some cool promo videos for Snail Walk and myself
๐จ Gamified my portfolio
The Grind:
๐ผ Approved for Apple Business Program, tried Apple Ads - needs a lot more budget to find the right fit
๐ฌ Some Reddit success, and a bit of backlash for using AI
Personal:
๐ช Started "get fit in public" - 99kg โ 76kg goal
๐ 12km Born Survivor muddy obstacle race

๐ธ Tried X post boost - $2 per link click, 0 ROI ๐ฌ
Personal:
๐ Another 10K race, 2 more medals
๐ Finished all of @alexwestco's books
๐ฅ Total Ninja obstacle course + bouncy castle - kid in me had a blast
๐ช Decided to get fit in public, just like I build in public
๐ฅ๏ธ One monitor died, then miraculously revived
Chaos:
๐จ Someone broke into our garden trying to steal stuff
๐ My car's no longer road legal - guess I'm walking a lot more now ๐
TLDR:

I couldn't sit and do nothing.
Usually I think about what other SaaS to create but here I felt like something more direct was needed.
A weekly letter.
From a vibe coding parent. Lost in the jungle.
To all the other vibe coding parents on X.

MakiRoll for Web is live: MakirollApp.com ๐ฃ๐ฅณ
I made this for me, because I hated recording myself.
It felt awkward. Weird.
But I also wanted to post more video.
So I fixed it.
No script memorizing.
No staring at yourself.
No complex editing software.
You just talk.
Maki finds the story, and gives you a share-ready video.
You can start for free!

Snail Walk: Rejected ๐โ
"Insufficient information" on why Snail Walk needs step data ๐
It's a WALKING GAME. Steps ARE the gameplay ๐
How is this process so broken? ๐คฏ๐ฌ
