Developing a Life Goal and Bucket List Tracking App

Table of Contents

Hi Guys, I’m super pumped about building this bucket list tracking app! 🎉 This isn’t just another project—it’s something I genuinely want to make awesome.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how people set life goals, track their achievements, and get inspired by others, and I want to bring all of that into one simple, fun, and useful app.

## Taking This From Idea to Reality

I’ll be handling everything end-to-end—starting with market research, designing an intuitive UI, coding the entire thing (React Native for the frontend, PocketBase for the backend), and even figuring out marketing and scaling strategies. It’s a massive challenge, but that’s what makes it exciting!

## Why This App?

I realized most people either forget their dreams or don’t have a proper way to track them. This app will help people document their goals, celebrate their achievements, and even get inspired by others. Plus, for travelers, it’ll double as a place to store memories.

## Some Cool Features Coming Up! 🔥

  • Curated Goal Inspirations – A huge collection of ideas, categorized and tagged, to help users explore and set exciting goals.
  • Bigger Goals With Sub-Lists – Users can break down a major goal into smaller steps. For example, “Visit all continents” can have individual bucket list items for each continent.
  • Privacy & Sharing – Users can keep their bucket list private or share it with friends.
  • Achievement Badges & Timeline – Earn badges for completed goals and have a timeline showcasing all achievements.
  • Personal Website – Every user will have a mini-website displaying their public goals and achievements.
  • Reminders & Motivation – Set reminders for goals (like a month or a week before) and get nudges to stay on track.
  • Interactive Map View for Travel Goals – Users can pin visited locations and add notes, photos, or videos to their travel memories.
  • Goal Challenges & Community – Join fun challenges, find people with similar goals, and get inspired!

## What’s Next?

Right now, I’m in the design phase, making sure the user experience is smooth and fun. Also, I don’t want users to start with a blank screen—so when they log in, they’ll get a chance to add things they’ve already achieved in life. It should feel rewarding from the start!

## Follow Along!

I’ll keep sharing my progress on x and here on my website, so if you’re into product building, tech, or just love checking out new apps, stay tuned! 😃
