Build log: a no contact tracker with no backend, no build step and no analytics

Description and use

A lightweight no-backend tracker that stores data locally and offers milestone coaching for breakup recovery.

Problem

Breakup clients need a simple, private way to track days without contacting an ex, but existing tools are clunky or require accounts and server communication.

Outcome

The tracker provides a lightweight, privacy-focused solution that meets user needs without backend complexity, enabling users to track no-contact periods, receive coaching, and manage data locally.

Workflow

• 1. User opens the web app or installs the PWA. 2. Sets a start date and selects a 45/60/90 day goal. 3. App counts days locally in localStorage. 4. At milestones (7,30,45,60,90) unlocks coaching text. 5. User logs urges when they resist texting. 6. If a slip occurs, counter resets but slip count persists. 7. User can export data as JSON or import to resume. 8. For Chrome extension, daily reminder uses chrome.alarms to survive service worker restarts.
• 9. Optional PWA install for offline use.

Evidence

The whole app is one HTML file. State lives in localStorage under a single key (nct-v1). No framework, no build step, no server, and nothing phones home.
