2. Open source SuperBetter

   Make the apps (and maybe the website, separately?) open source in a collaborative setting like GitHub, where you can review contributions.

   I love the idea, even though the Android app desperately needs work. I absolutely understand you can only do so much, but, as a developer, I would happily put in time to help add improvements, and other community members may, too.

3. 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 is something many people will find useful.
   Thanks.

4. Allies please!

   Help, I don’t have any allies! I would really like some, but I’m embarrassed to ask family members or friends. It would be great if there was a way to become and ally and gain allies who are already playing the game.

5. Customer service...

   would be nice. I'd like to delete my account, but I cannot get in because I forgot my password. Reset doesn't work, I do not get the reset email.

   And by the way: this is the third time I try to get help.

6. Side quests: Things you want to accomplish, which have their own challenges, that are also tough.

   The existing quests are one-offs. Side quests would lead you to your epic win, but have their own win. For example: I'm battling depression. My first epic win is to clean my room and do my laundry. I also want to quit smoking. Quitting smoking would help me connect to more people, and help with my sense of alienation and help me feel less depressed. Smoking however has it's own challenges (some related some not) and is a win in and of itself.

7. 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 is a bit dated but way easier to navigate). Also, it would be great if some of the forum features were incorporated into the site, such as messaging, profiles, groups, finding allies, etc (so you do not have to flip back and forth).

   • You need some sort of guidelines/advice/resources for people who may become allies or suspect their allies have issues such as eating disorder or need greater help than superbetter can provide. You really do not want to enable someone to lose weight when you suspect say they have an eating disorder and some guidelines on how to handle this would be useful. Especially, if you only know them via the forum/website and not in real life.

   • It is annoying to have to switch back and forth from the forum (with a different password, etc) to join a group or message someone.

   • I can't seem to delete things when I mistakenly add an extra quest or bad buy.

   • It would be great to be able to easily view a profile of an ally so that you could learn a bit more about them. Especially, if you do not know them in real life. Also, it would be helpful to learn more about their limitations or how you can be a better ally to them. For instance, you do not want to send someone out to have a drink with friends at a bar for a powerup if they have a drinking issue. It would be good to know these things in advance.

   • The Check-In feature is rather confusing and I still do not completely understand what it does. I accidently clicked on it 3 times for one person the other day since I saw nothing happening.

   • The point system seems kind of just made up and a bit irrelevant at times. It would be made more interesting if you could assign your own points to quests or if these points were made a bit more meaningful some how. Flossing your teeth daily should way different than say going for a root canal. The points also seem endless as if you can make as many points as your like which makes the point system seem a bit like currency devaluation. Basically, I have zero emotional connection with the point system what-so-ever and I find myself mostly ignoring it.

   • The fact that you can not click off daily tasks and that they still appear on your feed is really really frustrating. I want them to disappear so that I know that I did them magically reappear the next day.

   • It would be great if you could only see say 5 quests and you would have to complete them (or mark them off as not able to currently complete) and you would have to complete those 5 before anymore tasks/quests appeared.

   • It would be great to make some quests private. My allies do not need to know everything.

   • Also, some power ups should give you more strength than others. Stretching should be less than say running a block and what they are worth should be made visible.

   • It also seems by just looking through the forum that quite a few users have some serious mental health challenges and it might be wise to put some safe guards in place to make sure they are not taken advantage of by other users. At this point, it seems that their obvious vulnerability regrettably makes them targets.

   • It would be great to be able to list your strengths to help others, instead of joining together with the same weakness. For instance, if I am a whiz at clutter control/organizing but want to loose weight that could be valuable trade. Or maybe my day job is a librarian, I could help give some advice in data management to someone whose quest is to organize their computer/digital files and that person could help me with say learning to play the clarinet. If the social networking aspect of the game was more tapped into, superbetter could go beyond helping folks lose a few pounds, or deal with their depression or a physical limitations. It could also help folks improve, grow or gain a skill! Why limit it!

   And the powerpacks are great! Would love to see more of them!

9. Would love to see a Memory Powerpack

   I have problems with memory. Very forgetful. However for somethings I can remember it with photographic memory. I know there are techniques to help with memory, I think a powerpack like that would be great!!

10. Create a version for younger kids

    I am a 3rd grade teacher and this year have a difficult group of kids to say the least. I have been using the "mind-up" curriculum to teach kids how to be mindful. Because I work with younger kids, the idea of using gaming to bring this home to their level, is brilliant. I would LOVE to use this with them, but with the over 13 requirement, I am hesitant. What can we do to bring this down to younger kids? I am a firm believer in helping kids to learn how to be resilient and see an incredible power in being able to use "superbetter" with them. Can you help me out? or can I help you out?

11. Fear of Conflicts Power Pack

    I am very afraid of conflicts, especially when it comes to telling my friends and family how I feel. For example, if someone put their feet on my table in my living room and I find that a bit irritating I find myself unable to say "Could you please put down your feet" without feeling awkward. Even when I get the courage to say it, I feel my words tend to sound awkward or harsh. I don't think my words are harsh, it's just that my voice tend to change and makes me sound much more serious than I intend to.
    I'm mostly afraid the person I'm telling will get sad or feel like they did something terrible even if it's not.

    I would very much want a Power Pack for this problem to help me tackle it.

12. Educational Goal Power Packs

    I'm using SuperBetter as a tool to help my struggling students set learning goals. It would be wonderful if that was a built in category and if there were some power packs geared towards academic growth. Currently, I'm having them use health goal (other) with most of them getting Super Better at improving their academic behavior, and we are designing our own quests.

    planned  ·  AdminSuperBetter (CEO / Founder, SuperBetter) responded

    We’re definitely working on expanding our Power Pack offerings and how friendly we are to people doing ‘life goals’ as opposed to something specifically health/wellness related. One thing SuperBetter prides itself on is that all of its Power Packs are backed by science – but that means each Power Pack requires meeting and consulting with experts in the field, or doing some very heavy behind the scenes research – all of which takes a lot of time! So yes, this is an excellent idea and definitely on the roadmap, we’ve just got to get to it!

13. Great app! Love it. Got an idea. This would really help people with aspergers with social skills and understanding

    create a powerpack for people with aspergers to help them with social skills and understanding social situations.

    This app has soooooo much potential. I love it!

14. Volunteerism Powerpack & Community Health

    I'd like to see a volunteerism powerpack and an area added for community health as distinct from individual social health. This would be actions taken to contribute to community and would help motivate people in areas like neighborhood building, social justice, and political action.

17. Allow us to cut out the weight loss talk/add a HAES option

    I practice Health at Every Size. I also work with a lot of clients who are triggered by comments like "doing X will help you keep your weight down." Please allow users to at least customize to a weight-neutral perspective - walking around the block, drinking a glass of water, etc. are good in and of themselves. I don't want to be trying to get better and have my anxiety triggered by being told I should power up by avoiding sugary drinks - I don't drink them to begin with, and I don't need my "game" reminding me that people think my body is bad. BTW, I'm a PhD Marriage and Family Therapist. I'm glad to consult with you on bringing a HAES focus to SuperBetter if you're interested.

18. translation to other languages

    Hello,

    First of all, thank u for creating this incredible site! I just started to use it and I think it is a supergreat! idea and can be appliable to any goal u want to accomplish. It would be awesome if i could share it with all my friends, but i'm spanish, and the majority of them don't talk english. I think this is too good to not be traduced to other languages so it can be spread everywhere. I would happily help with the traduction myself so everyone can enjoy this site!

19. Portrayal of Women

    I am interested in using SuperBetter as a tool for staying physically and mentally fit while having to finish a long and arduous project. The idea for this site and the way it is arranged is fantastic. However, when I have emailed a few friends to tell them about the site, all six were first struck by McGonigal's stage make up and unnecessary cleavage. For a self-help (or self-acceptance) site, McGonigal's styling seems to have missed the mark, appearing either threatening or comically bad.

    Here's an email excerpt from a male friend of mine:

    OK. I'm glad it's not just me who was weirded out by her appearance. I was feeling a little superficial for a minute there--here's this woman trying to seem genuinely interested in helping others, and I'm all like "WHOA, what happened to YOU?"

    This has been a great conversation, and we appreciate the different perspectives offered here in the comments. We’ll keep these notes in mind when we approach future video content.

20. Get rid of food fear

    A lot of people with eating disorders might also be downloading this for anxiety. I think it would be good to get rid of language demonizing weight gain and calling foods or drinks “bad” because it’s triggering language (intuitive eating therapists could be a help on this) and actually encourages food anxieties. We can encourage healthy activities without fear “ex: move in a way that makes you happy”. I’ll be leaving this app until that’s changed.
