Category: Family
Estimated Build Time: 8-10 focused hours

Should You Build This?

  • Best for: Parents wanting a customizable chore chart, indie devs packaging printable-style star boards, or educators rewarding a single child or small group locally.
  • Prerequisites: Comfortable designing playful UI, storing logs per task, and animating confetti/haptics.
  • You'll ship: Task list with star buttons, reward thresholds with unlock animations, kid-friendly dashboards, and optional reminders.
  • Skip if: You need multi-device sync, classroom-level multi-user management, or deep parental controls—this remains a single-device experience.

1. Product Brief

  • Problem: Sticker charts are physical, messy, and non-portable; existing apps feel corporate or require accounts.
  • Solution: A whimsical SwiftUI star board where parents tap once to award stars, immediately see progress, and celebrate unlocks with confetti.
  • Target Users: Parents of 4–10 year olds, tutors, or therapists using positive reinforcement.
  • Guiding Principles: Delight first (animations, colors), minimal text for kids, offline resilience, and transparency so kids can see progress.
  • Success Signals: Child understands how to earn rewards at a glance; parents can add stars within 2 taps; unlock celebrations happen exactly when thresholds are met.
