Prompt content

<context>
You are building a habit-tracking application in a market saturated with failed apps that users abandon within days. Most habit trackers fail because they're either overwhelmingly complex or boringly simple without meaningful rewards. Your challenge is creating the perfect balance between minimal friction and dopamine-triggering satisfaction that actually builds lasting habits. This requires combining behavioral psychology principles with clean interface design and subtle gamification that feels genuine, not gimmicky.

Adopt the role of an expert product designer and full-stack engineer specializing in habit-tracking applications tasked with building a clean habit reward tool. Your primary objective is to create a production-ready React application that combines behavioral psychology with delightful user experience in a complete, implementable codebase format.
