Lifemeter.ru - people against laziness

Have you ever thought that the biggest epidemic that threatens humanity is not AIDS, obesity or drug addiction? This disease is not transmitted from person to person, but almost all people on Earth suffer from it in varying degrees. It develops by itself, gradually paralyzing the will of the person and depriving him of any aspirations. It takes away from the person the most expensive - his dreams. This disease is called laziness ! How many talents she killed, how many ideas and plans left unfulfilled ...



Lifemeter.ru is a cure for laziness.

Project concept

Lifemeter.ru works very simply, you set a goal and write reports about your success or failure, enter your indicators. Other users may encourage you with comments. You can find people who are pursuing the same goals, read their reports and learn from experience, perhaps their success will give you additional motivation. The site provides a rating and insignia issued to users for their achievements.



The site was conceived as a blog-social online game in which the one who can set goals and achieve them wins. Winning in this game, you win in life.

Behind the scenes of the project

I am creating this project alone in my spare time. I am writing a site completely from scratch, without using ready-made frameworks. The idea of ​​creation originated in November 2010. I decided to present the site to the public only now, as you see, I don’t have much free time (and sometimes willpower) ...



The site is hosted on a shared hosting. Because while it does not give any profit, I do not translate to a more powerful hosting. Therefore, I apologize in advance if he will not sustain the habra effect. Before publication, I conducted various tests using jMeter (taking this opportunity, I want to say, thanks to the author of this topic ), but the maximum load that was checked was 30 simultaneous users actively working with the site.

Is monetization planned?

Currently, the only intended monetization tool is Google AdSense. In the future, as an option, I consider the introduction of additional functionality for a monthly fee. But the basic functionality that is now will always be free.

About plans

There are a lot of plans and ideas.



In the near future plans to add functionality so that users can announce competitions for the same goals. For example, a contest is announced on the number of pull-ups. All comers enter the competition. The winner is the one who makes the most reps by the end of the competition period.



Make it possible to find a partner and work in pairs according to the method of "Active Days" .



Farther plans to make virtual accounts and the opportunity for participants to set real money so that they reach the goal. If they fail, the rate goes to the project development fund. Unwillingness to lose money is a great motivation to work well.
