Goals App

A goals tracker I ran through a Telegram bot. Tap a message below and follow it from the chat to the database.

There are a million apps for this, and a notes app would do the job just fine. That wasn't really the point.

It was an easy, fun early experiment. An LLM helped write the app, which was the first test. The second was connecting it to real data and workflows: at one point it ran through n8n, so I could message a Telegram bot "just read for 20 minutes" and it would update the database correctly. I could also ask how I was doing and get a real answer back.

The app is retired, but the pattern isn't. Plain language in, structured data out works for a lot more than logging a reading goal, like updating CRM notes from a quick message after a call.
