Overall Upgrade
I love this idea. I've had this idea. But you guys are the ones made it and I love you for that. From a gamer's perspective, it needs a bit of a better overall navigation. For starters certain things like "To do" should ALWAYS be on the right side on all pages as someone navigates their "Status Screen"...
The activity part should list the icons of what's been done, not the profile picture. As well as a "quick activity" where someone can type in something they did and award points right on the front page. The power ups should be…32 votes -

Thanks for the suggestion! Is there anything specific you’d like to see in an OCD Power Pack? Thanks, Rose

Extra "Career" Category
I've just started using SuperBetter and really see how it can help me improve myself... but I want it to help me improve my skills in my career rather than the '4 categories', where I stand quite ok. I will use superbetter to improve those as well, but I really want to focus most of my attention for the next few years on improving my career skills. I want to keep track and to motivate myself to keep on studying and improving myself each day.
The "Career" category can include things like education, skills, financial etc. I truly believe this…19 votes -
More than just health goals
Hey Jane and others! I'm loving SuperBetter. I found it after watching Jane's talk on TED.com. I'm thinking this applies to so much more than just health goals. Are there plans in the works to expand the application of this game model? I can see it as a way to deal with numerous types of goals - bad habits (not health related), academic goals, relationship goals, travel goals...I'm guessing the possibilities are limitless.
Thanks for coming up with this. It's awesome!

A discrete link for donations
I love the fact there isn't a huge button screaming for donations. It adds to the positive effect of the game that money isn't involved at all. But I wish I could click around the site and find a donate button on an underlying page if I were to look for one. Is that a later quest? Practice altruism: and then a button will show up for give a dollar to the SuperBetter cause?
I always wondered why we hadn't started to use technology this way. The "Trauma Center" game on the Wii made me wonder why we couldn't use…

Use Super Better to help people experiencing the pain of divorce
I just saw and enjoyed Jane McGonigal's Ted talk. I wonder whether the Super Better game might be used by people experiencing the emotional trauma and loss of divorce to ease their pain and faciliate their transition to a better future.

New strength proposal: Financial (and/or Environmental?)
Gotta tell you--SB is the first method in 51 years (and I've tried LOTS, believe me!) that has me exercising daily, building up strength...and, while I'm at it: remembering to floss daily, pray, take my prescriptions correctly, and a host of other things I usually forgot. As a side effect, I'm also getting more chores done around the house and yard--'cause now they earn me points. YIPPEEEE!!
So, yes: Wider Application of Superbetter. I find myself wanting to make quests that don't quite fit the 4 strengths, many of them financially related. The current strengths are all internal, and I…

A French translation of SuperBetter?
I would love to see a French version of SuperBetter. In fact, I would volunteer to do it myself (I am a certified translator.). I would like to share SuperBetter with my mom and my sister who don't speak English. My 34-year-old sister is in a wheelchair following a car accident. She could definitely benefit from SuperBetter… and many more like her I am sure.
Thanks for taking my idea into consideration.

Can I get super better at many things in the same account?
e.g. I want to gain weight while I want to finish my carreer (physical & mental), so i need a mix of quests, some orientated for one superbetter goal and one for another one. Basically, i'd like to be able to put 2 things in the "i'm getting superbetter at" box

More options on the mobile app
I can do much more on the computer than the mobile app. I can not even see or interact with my allies at all. Thanks.

Expanded Game Topics
Hi! I love this and I want more of it! I think it's applicable to almost anything your committed to in life. Work, relationships, finances.
I'd like to have the ability to have multiple games going in a variety of different areas. That's my idea/request! Thanks!7 votes -
Expand from the realm of healing to major self improvement quests (new skills, new jobs, etc)
If superbetter were integrated into my calendar or day planner, I would have a fun way to get me doing things that I know are important, but not urgent. My job description at work just changed in a major way, I like the challenge, but small wins and motivation along the way would not only help my success, it would speed up my growth I'm sure. Those are just two ways I've seen after day one.

Use in teaching
I am thinking about how I might use this with underaspiring, undercofindent and poorly organised students. I will let you know how I get on.

We need this in Spanish!
People from Latin America need this, I found this amazing!
And Btw send a huge Hug to Jane, she's quite an inspiration...PD: I would love to help in the translation if necessary
19 votesI’m so glad you’re enjoying it! :) We want to be able to localize it in many many different languages (Spanish is at the top of the list :)), but right now we just don’t have the budget for it. We’re hoping to maybe team up with a company who might be willing to sponsor the localization effort.

No feedback that I succeeded in changing my password
After receiving the password-recovery email, and filling in the new password twice, the form clears and nothing suggests I've succeeded.
Attempting to sign in with the new password fails.

Mentor - Feedback on use of SuperBetter
As a SuperBetter user, I could choose an option to solicit the help of a SuperBetter mentor to help evaluate my profile and activities. This person could make suggestions as to what I could add, as well as provide encouragement. The idea would be to have some insights on how well I am using the site and find out if I am missing out on any opportunities. This mentor would go above and beyond the Allies in that they would bring in some specific expertise and best practices on using Superbetter.

A way to tone down the background?
I have migrane issues, and I find the bright white background on SB sometimes triggers the beginnings of a migrane. Is there a way to change the visuals according to the needs of the user?
Personally, I find it easier on the eyes/brain to have dark sepia text on a light faun or green background. Less stress on the rods, more work being done by the cones. I'm sure this colour scheme won't be to everyone's taste, though.
22 votesI really love this suggestion and it’s something that’s always been on our radar and we want to incorporate. Hopefully when we launch there will be a toggle in your profile to trigger “high contrast” mode or “soft mode” in addition to our standard dark grey on white.

Use SuperBetter for 1st year teachers
I think this could be a great tool for helping first year teachers build great habits in the classroom. The first year teaching can be such a grueling and challenging year and many people decide to not return after having such a tough experience. It reminds me a lot of the challenge to lose weight, recover from injury, etc. It would be a great way to add an element of fun and support for a group of people that really need it!

I have been on Superbetter for a week and here is my feedback
Hi there,
I am enjoying superbetter, but I feel that it has some issues and thought I would share my impression of the site now that I have been on it for a week.
Can't send messages to allies or directly communicate with them. This makes becoming acquainted with allies or getting to know them quite difficult
The forum is confusing and feels very 2001 and makes it difficult to find allies in a simple way. At least for me it would be easier if it was organized more in the fashion of groups, such as tribe.net (which in itself…
