DrawDaily – Draw once a day with friends
A private daily drawing circle for people who want to draw more but never find the time
- Problem
- A developer says he has always loved drawing but it is hard to find time during the day. A few weeks ago he and a friend both said they wanted to draw more, so he built a small app to help them draw something, anything, once a day. Two more friends joined but never showed up, while he and the original friend kept at it. This reveals a real need: what drawing streaks lack is not a tool but a small, stable accountability circle.
- Solution
- A minimal daily drawing group app: create a private circle, each person posts one quick sketch per day (5–10 minute limit), you only see the day's pieces, and absences trigger a gentle nudge in the group. No public square, no like competition, just streak records within a small circle.
- Users
- Amateur artists trying to rebuild a drawing habit, art students, friend groups and parent-child drawing pairs
- MVP
- Create a private circle with invite link; one drawing per day with a time prompt; same-day gallery and streak count inside the circle; gentle absence nudges; no public feed and no complex social features.
- Revenue
- Free for circles up to 3 people; subscription unlocks larger groups, history export, custom reminders and ad removal; affiliate deals with art supply brands.
- Why now
- Most habit apps push individual discipline, but people trying to keep drawing actually lack small-circle social commitment; big players won't build such a narrow social scenario, making it cheap for an indie developer to run.
