I built this app because traditional reward charts weren't working for my son, who has mild ADHD. The "top-down" approach of parents setting rules and pushing tasks just created anxiety and resistance.
DailyMe flips this by focusing on intrinsic motivation through RPG mechanics:
1. Agency: Kids co-create their rewards and goals (from "have to" to "want to").
2. Gamification: Tasks are "Quests," and progress is visualized on an achievement board.
3. Partnership: It changes the parent's role from supervisor to ally.
It started as a paper prototype that solved our nightly homework struggles, and I turned it into an app to help other families facing executive function challenges.
I'd love to hear your feedback on the gamification logic or any features you think are missing!
A few things I noticed though:
* I'd love to add a task to a future date.
* A flag on (future) tasks to notify when I ought to start them
* Please pre-fill the minutes with 00
* The icons selection for the profiles is a bit boring. Why not just a search across whatever icon font (unicode?) you use?
* Is there a dedicated view for just the profile without the noise around it?
* There's a little animation that moves a task up when I hover it on desktop, is that by design?

I recently started using beaverhabits https://github.com/daya0576/beaverhabits/ for its simplicity but obviously I love gamification.
