Show HN: I made a running app that turns your runs to a virtual garden

https://www.runandgrow.com/
15•Utkarshn101•3d ago
Hi all,

I am a long distance runner and to motivate myself to run my first marathon I built a simple app that rewards you with plants and trees for your runs and grows a virtual garden for you (like Forest + Duolingo).

Hope you all like it. Do share what you think.

Thanks!

Why is it a subscription?

You shouldn't have any running costs from people using the app, so it looks like basic price gouging.
