A habit tracking app that helps you see, plan and do What Matters

If you live until 90 years old, do you know roughly how many more days you'll spend with your parents or your children? Take the interactive quiz inside What Matters to find out. The result will probably surprise you. And if it does, this platform will help you create small, sustainable habits to help you make time for What Matters.

My team of four designed and built this platform from scratch in just 10 days with Ruby on Rails. The interactive quiz is packed full of clever, interactive JavaScript, as is the streak counter that keeps users motivated. Head to www.dwmatters.com and take the quiz!
