773. Our First Christmas Tree, Blade App, Stoked

Recorded on: Sunday, November 30, 2025

Episode Summary by AI I describe a day split between getting my first real Christmas tree with Lexi and diving deep into building the Blade app. The tree outing feels like a milestone and sparks reflection on how fast life is moving. The rest of the day centers on app development, testing builds, refining features, and exploring existing habit trackers to confirm my vision is unique. I outline Blade as a discipline driven challenge system rather than a simple habit tracker and note how excited I am to build it.
