    Hi all! I’d love to share my latest passion project with you..

    For a long time I have put up with severe anxiety and recently much more acute OCD. As a bit of a data nerd I wanted an app that would help me to track the effects that lifestyle has on mental health and also give a more objective view of the effectiveness of medicines and therapy.

    I built it for myself but I hope that by making it public it will help at least one other person better understand their mental wellbeing on a road to recovery. You can sign-up for free at https://vividwell.com/.

    Please pass it on if you know someone who could make use of it! 🧠

    Early stages so far but lots more features in the pipeline. In the next few days I am introducing PHQ-9 & GAD-7 tests. Also scheduled are Fitbit and Amazon Alexa integrations.

    No budget for native app store apps yet but I have gone to a great deal of effort to ensure that the process is very smooth as a homescreen web app for now!

    Hey, I like the idea, but I have some problems with the site.

    First - I don't see a preview/explanation how it works.

    To see it, I need to register. But the registration form is heavy and uninviting.

    Also, the particles effect on the main page feels like a scammy ICO.
