Show HN: Solid. Gamifying focused work without a gamer aesthetic

https://solidtheapp.info/
1•victoormt•2h ago
Hi HN, I’m building Solid, a work-focused productivity app that uses gamification psychology without game-like visuals, points, or avatars.

The idea came from using tools like Habitica and focus apps, but feeling disconnected from the “gamer” aesthetic. Solid is designed for professionals who want motivation, clarity, and consistency, without distractions.

Right now this is an early landing page to validate interest. I’d love feedback on the concept, positioning, or whether this is something you’d actually use.

Thanks for taking a look.

Hey HN

Solid is still very early — this is currently just a landing page to validate the idea before building the MVP.

The core concept is a daily work system that applies gamification psychology (clear goals, feedback loops, closure) without game mechanics like points, levels, or avatars. The goal is to make focused work feel structured and motivating, while keeping a calm, professional interface.

I’m especially interested in feedback around:

whether this differentiation makes sense

if the problem resonates with you

or if you’ve tried similar tools and why they didn’t stick

Happy to answer any questions and really appreciate any thoughts.

Please familiarize yourself with HN rules regarding Show posts:

https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html

Off topic: blog posts, sign-up pages, newsletters, lists, and other reading material. Those can't be tried out, so can't be Show HNs. Make a regular submission instead.

As for feedback:

1. The landing page is pretty barebones so it's difficult to concretely see what you're offering people.

2. Solid is the name of an extremely popular JS framework. Not a deal breaker, just something you should keep in mind.
