Hello! I just wanted to say, I LOVE the premise of your app. There is nothing else like it! I felt like I couldn't do anything today, but your app totally helped!

A major issue I have with the site, however, is its lack of accessibility. I have a "thing" where bright neon lights will make me physically sick and left to recuperate for hours afterward.

I also have friends I wanted to recommend this app to friends, but the text choice makes it hard for them to read due to dyslexia. My recommendations are this:

Make the homepage less busy. I recommend getting rid of the logos at the top/moving them to the bottom,as well the quote and the photo on the right. It's hard for your webpage to have a sense of direction with those elements taking up so much space.

THE COLORS. Please, at least give an option to turn the contrast down. The neon lights HURTT. Please tone down the neon colors to be less saturated and add a dark mode. Pure white will absolutely hurt user's eyes: pastel and neutral colors are good if black isn't desirable.

Also, please add spacing/font options! Monospace works really well and looks really good for your site (using a browser extension atm). However, accesibiliy is different for everyone and I recommend that you give people options.

And if don't have it already: alternate text and subtitles for videos. This will allow screenreaders to read the words outloud to people who need them, or people who can't hear (or hear well) to follow your videos.

Thank you so much for reading, I look forward to any potential new changes!

Hi,
I am a new user and downloaded a few power packs and realized that some of the quests are repeated in the power packs. All these quests or power-ups or bad guys show up as an individual entry with the logo of the power up. I now have 3 quests with the same title associated with a different power up. Also, my quest page still shows all the quests i completed today. My quest page is getting tremendously long and i am getting lost in the feed. It would be better to combine same quests from different packs and also move completed quests or bad guys to a different area so i can only focus on things left in the day.

Dear Superbetter team,

My name is Eli. I've had a very positive experience with Superbetter, and it's been something that helped me a great deal with my severe depression. I'm still not able to operate at a "normal" level, not that that's a useful concept, but I do feel more positive on a day to day basis.

However, I have noticed things about the site that aren't ideal. I'm not physically disabled myself, but it seems like many of the quests, power ups, and other actions specifically require a physically healthy and completely mobile body to accomplish.

The other thing I've noticed is that many of the options have a presumption of financial safety. As someone currently very poor and who has been homeless in the past, there are certain quests and power ups that are incredibly difficult to do for me, and would have been impossible in the past, largely for financial reasons.

Don't get me wrong, Superbetter has still been incredibly valuable for me. But I also feel like there are ways to make it even more valuable to even more people.

Thank you for what you've created.

I think the bad guy encounters could be made more engaging and immersive by including some way to either “take damage” or get rewards that are specific to any encounter with a bad guy. I think the point of the current setup was that losing points is discouraging and might not be a good idea for people who are genuinely struggling with something heavy. To be honest I agree with that line of thinking and I wouldn’t want to lose any of the points that I’m making from quests either, that would nullify my other successes in a sense. So I was thinking maybe there could be a health bar that goes down a little if you lose and resets each day, or maybe there could be different trophies awarded based on the outcome of the encounter. This way you still award points for each encounter but for example losing to the bad guy would award a “battle scars” trophy that only gives 5 points but the next level could be “hard fought victory” for 10 points and finally “unscathed” when you just dominate an encounter for 15 points or something. I would really enjoy this kind of addition to the app.
