Hi everyone!

This is my first project, so I want to make sure I avoid rookie mistakes in it. Guidelines told me to avoid llm creating this message, so please, accept my apologies for the grammar in advance.

In short, this is an app to unstuck overwhelmed mind and make it get dopamine with something useful instead of reels scrolling.

Choose a category based on your current interest and environment. Choose difficulty level - it is not about completion time, but mostly how uncomfortable for me to do the task. Easy - normal tasks (wash the mug), legendary - I would die to do it without an app (talk to a stranger about zombie apocalypse).

In “not so short”:

The idea popped up from my own struggle: I never been diagnosed with adhd, but my brain is flooded with thoughts and tasks majority of time. Prioritization systems somewhat help but I give up on them and also have a hyper focus superpower that compensates it and I am fine with that. So the issue is not in “Not doing anything” - the real problem is that I am annoyed with the time I extract dopamine from cheap sources like reels. Once my brain gets overwhelmed by the number of thoughts, they collapse into a simple idea of “let’s pour a glass of wine and scroll social media feed for new cool ideas that will change my life magically”.

The idea behind the app is to substitute option of doomscrolling with task completion. I noticed I sincerely enjoy those mental checkmarks so why not to trick the dopamine system into something actually useful? I did that.. hopefully.

This is an early version - very basic, without user profile as I was targeting one singular user - myself. Though, if it helps me, maybe it can help others. With that, next step is to add user profile with filters like marriage (so you don’t have to smile to a cute stranger), pets (or feed the non existing dog), climate (walk 40 mins in Texas summer - wouldn`t recommend), housing (clean garage in your 20th story unit) etc., meanwhile “refresh” button is there for you.

There is a bigger idea behind this, but I’d like to see first if the concept might work for someone else too. And check for possible safety (human and data) concerns before I move forward. User info is stored locally for now, but will be moved to server side once login is introduced.

Also cannot stop thinking, how can I build somewhat social but fare system - no one is checking real life progress, so people will cheat. Doesn’t matter for this concept but definitely blocks social challenges and that’s unfortunate. Will be grateful for some guidance here.

In any way, sorry for lots of words. I hope some of you will find it fun and useful :)
