This is really cool. I don’t think I have diagnosable ADHD, but I have noticed that gamification features like “streaks” often cause more problems in building habits than helping them. My daughter, who is diagnosed with severe ADHD, eventually had to “give up” some of the streak based apps like Duolingo because they are, imho, preying on our desire to complete “streaks” only to increase in-app activity for their own…

#60This seems quite broken on iPhone (iPhone 12, iOS 17, Safari browser). Trying to add a task ends up blowing the model up too big and it’s impossible to scroll to or even see the button to add the task.
