Why I Built Vape Assist
Vape Assist started as a small concept tool in the same spirit as FocusTask - a simple, practical app that solves a real, everyday problem rather than a purely academic exercise. The idea was to give users a quick way to log usage, see the cost add up over time, and set a goal to work towards, without a cluttered interface getting in the way.
What I Learned
- Working with localStorage to persist user data between sessions
- Building simple data visualisations (running totals and progress towards a goal)
- Designing a minimal interface that stays out of the user’s way
What’s Next
Future updates may include reminders, weekly summaries, and the ability to export progress data.
