Body For Life
I am a "Body For Life" advocate and would like to design a Power Pack to be shared for the SuperBetter site. Body for Life is a weight loss program that includes an eating style and workout style (with weights/aerobics). It is different from your "Full Plate" Power Pack...which is very good.
I'd like the software or some advice on designing and inputing pdf files, videos, etc. Also, I need to know how to make 1 quest (once accomplished) unlock others. I've got the ideas and materials to input, but really need design help.
Thanks,

Allies not showing up on dashboard.
I have 3 allies, all added successfully. They show up when I click on the ALLY navigation on the left of the screen. However... only the first of them shows up on my dashboard... so I can't see the others activities, can't comment on them, send suggestions, etc. It's really frustrating to me and to them. Your help is appreciated.
3 votesIn this case, everything is working correctly – it’s just confusing! Ally relationships aren’t mutual. They’re more like following someone on Twitter. Just because you follow someone, doesn’t necessarily mean they follow you. It sounds like three people became your allies, but only one of them invited you to be their ally. Let me know if that makes sense.

keep ALL hero bodies in mind
Hi Jane and Co!
I just heard about SB from your TED talk and am very interested in it. I work for the MN Brain Injury Alliance and it may be a helpful tool for people to refer people to as they are recovering from brain injury. A couple concerns:
-There are two diet / weight losing options in the powerpacks, but nothing for eating disorders. This is triggering and could even be dangerous for people who are recovering from ED.
-Along the same lines, suggesting that the "Let Hunger Be Your Guide" powerup is simple also disregards the…

Suddenly my password not accepted. "New" password not accepted, either.
I am having a problem with your site. That is, after several days of a "beautiful friendship," it suddenly refuses to recognize my password. I tried several times, with the same response. So I then tried changing my password, using the one that *********** sent to my email. I tried several times with this one as well, only, again, to see that entry box "shudder" and refuse to let me go to the site.
The two days that I have spent with SuperBetter have convinced me that it is a site that will help me immeasurably with attaining my goals…3 votes -
Forum for just Hero and Allies
Some sort of forum (or perhaps a blogging or microblogging format thing) for keeping up with all of your allies at once would be a great help, I think. Where everyone can converse and talk about new ideas, how things are going, or where you could simply post so your allies know how you're doing outside of discrete events like quest completions.
3 votesRight now, you can leave status updates/messages on your activity wall and your allies can see them and respond to them (and leave their own messages for you there). Let us know if that works!

All new "adds" are then listed in alphabetical order
When we add our own quests, bad guys, power-ups, then that ever-growing list might have a drop down menu (like eBay does) that allows us to view those lists in various ways, so we can choose our preference:
ie:
most done
least done
recently added
alphabetical
category - social, mental, physical, emotional (and spiritual when you add it soon)
list-style
gallery-styleThis would be seriously helpful bc, for example, it'd allow you to quickly check what quests/power-ups/badguys you were relying-too-heavily-on and which ones you might be avoiding. It'd mean when you have a long list of powerups, say, as…

Card Collecting
I would love it if I could choose my Bad Guy and my defense (power ups) each morning and slip thin into an area on the app to help remind me what I’m battling today and what my chosen defense strategies are.
This would be help for the all day baddies like Blood Sugar, Get up & move, etc. It’s taking me enough time to remember what I’m in about that day that I just skip using the app altogether.

Linguistic confounders
Hi folks. Great game. Thank you for your work.
There are some linguistic editing traps in your descriptors. I can show you what I mean, but is there a different place than here? Making my answer clear is hard b/c I can't switch between screens. Email would be ideal but I am not sure where to send. I'm a medical editor and would like to help. Best wishes!

German version
I think superbetter is a great idea and I subscribed myselfe just today. In my job I work in a school with kids that need help in solving problems, at home, with classmates... -I'm a social worker. I'd love to recommend supperbetter to some of them. Is there a german version of this site? Most of the kids don't know enough english to cope with the english one.

Would like to see where I am heading
I would love to have a visual cue of how I am doing since all seems a bit linear. I would like the goals to be categorised so when I complete certain quests I also achieve a higher aim. Right now I feel I am doing many disconnected bits. Also I would like to see a graphic like "my secret identity" that I could visually improve by spending achievement points. That way my progress would be more visual and I would have more reasons to work for it.
I absolutely love this app. Thank you so much for putting time…8 votes -
Sorting Quests
First of all, thank you so much for super better. I have just begun and I can already tell that this is going to literally change my life. It is exactly what I needed to help me overcome the self defeating habits I have developed and break free from the depression that has been holding me back my whole life. I can't wait to share it with my therapist.
I just wanted to make one suggestion. On the quests page completed quests are all mixed in with quests I still have to do. If there was a way to sort…4 votes -
Glossary of Terms
Some of the terms I find on the site aren't readily defined, such as a 'Group Code'--I assume I'd know what it is if I had one--and 'Checking In' with an Ally. Additionally, as previously suggested, it would be nice to have handy definitions for the different resiliences. A glossary defining some of the terms used across SB would be really helpful. Get basic and put brief definitions of Quests, Power-Ups, etc. there, too!

Ability to Create Alternate Quests for Unexpected Recovery Days
Okay, so this is probably going to be a bit complicated, but it's an idea I wanted to put out there. Since I know there are a lot of people like me, using SuperBetter to manage chronic illness, it would be great to have the option to create an alternate set of quests (and maybe powerups and bad guys, too?) to switch to on Surprise Mandatory Rest/Recovery Days.
And I mean, like, switch completely, so we can't see our other quests and instead get ones we'd design to help us remember to do the simple things that are necessary for…

Secret identity avatar
I love the gamification this app brings to my life. This is the very reason why I like playing games so much. I feel like there is one huge piece to this app missing and that is an avatar.
I feel like as you level up your avatar should get stronger, unlock different clothes or whatever. Having levels helps one grow but having items to unlock could add a lot to this app.

Android app!
Hello SuperBetter, you seem absolutely super. I just saw Jane McGonigal's TED Talk and would love to start being a health superhero! However, I have chosen to go with Android rather than iPhone, and I was dejected to see that you do not yet have an Android app. It would be really helpful for me to be able to use SuperBetter in a simple way on my phone, and therefore it would make me very, very happy if you would consider putting some time into making an Android app soon.
Fingers crossed, hopes up and best wishes!

Option of anonymity
I want anonymity. This program seems to be more about promoting itself than actually helping anyone. I understand that building a support network can be an important part of well-being. But for those of us with anxiety about our anxiety (!) continued attempts to get us to share makes us feel even more alienated and alone.
As soon as I started playing, I was asked to invite Facebook people. This felt incredibly invasive. So much so that I put the game down.
Make it an option. Stop bombarding people with demands to promote your product.

Change the Challenge wording
I asked for help naming my challenge and someone on Facebook suggested to me that we are getting super better "AT" [blank]. That is a much different approach than getting super better "FROM" [blank], like the dashboard says. I think it opens up new possibilities. I would like the choice to change between the two when you make your epic win. Or better yet add the third field. "I am doing (or I'm getting super better at) [blank] to get Super Better from [blank] so I can [blank]."

Power Pack Pick and Choose
My ally and I think that it would be awesome to be able to pick elements of different powerpacks to be able to make new, customized ones.

I love SuperBetter!
In fact, I love it so much that I have been recommending it to all my friends and use it daily (of course!).
I have worked with personal leadership for many years and I recognize SuperBetter as an excellent structure for getting to do the things you want to achieve in life.
Here is my question: How can I help?
I live in Sweden, and would love to be a part of bringing this to a wider audience. Are you hiring? Can I volunteer?
Hope you have a good day,
Best regards, Andrea Söderberg3 votes -
Multiple Choices on the beginning dropdown
I just had a surgery after 4 years of being physically injured. Sometimes I don't know what's worse. Most likely the physical injury still.
I thought maybe down the line you could incorporate a multiple choice area here instead of a dropdown.
I know you can customize your own adventure, but often it feels safe to start out with pick 1 to 3 that you're dealing with.
For me I have physical injury, surgery and post traumatic stress. Maybe those choices together provide different hybrid superpacks.
It's just an idea. I really believe what you have created is amazing…
