By the time of launch, it had been 1 year since the idea came up: 1 year of designing, building, developing and testing (and testing an alcohol tracker app is one hell of a challenge, believe me). And I'm finally ready to present Drinkology to wide public. It was November'21 when my brother visited Ukraine and we sat down discussing our plans for the future having a drink or two at a bar in Kyiv. Soon enough we started talking about social awkwardness of having drank too much, feeling ashamed the next day for what you said or did, and how none of existing alcohol tracking apps were convenient enough to manage this problem. The kinds of apps for people who don’t plan to quit drinking - rather wish to minimize the negative effect of alcohol on their social life. That’s how Drinkology was born - a drinking management tool tailored for user’s needs. A tracker that helps you keep an eye on personal trends and find your own drinking limits, controlling consumption in a way that eliminates regrets the morning after. Then the war began, all ongoing work and tasks froze, all our plans and dreams vanished, and for me the development process of Drinkology became the greatest therapy and escape. Being able to redirect all thoughts from endless scrolling of newsfeed to the magical world of Xcode - the world of simple constants and complex functions that challenge your brain - this really helped me stay sane in the cruel whirlpool of events. Drinkology is a great app, and over time it will become ever better. But to me, Drinkology is much more than that - it is a symbol of my personal victory over attempts to break a human spirit.
