Devlog #04 – Rebuilt from scratch ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ

I scrapped the old UI, that I did with AI (yeah, should have not done that) entirely and rebuilt ReFlow with my own design. The previous version used colors suggested by Claude and honestly looked too generic. The reviewer was right about that.

The new design is actually mine.

I decided the river is gone. Instead there’s a weekly circle tracker, seven circles that fill as you stay clean. It’s simpler and more honest about what the app actually does.

The counter now shows days, hours, and minutes since your last slip, the Impulse button turns the whole screen green for 60 seconds with a breathing animation. The AI companion stayed mostly the same as it is just an API, it simply adapted to the new layout.

What was hard:

• I always struggle with designing new UI by myself because I think it is not good enough (maybe that is why I used Claude at first)

What was easy:

• the circle tracker logic.

What took way too long:

• getting the slip button to actually reset the counter.

This version is 100% my own work except for the AI companion which still uses DeepSeek. No AI-generated UI this time. If this still looks like AI to someone, I don’t know what to tell them ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
