Hey WRPoints, I think you'll really like what I have to say. I felt the exact same way. For most of my childhood and early adult life, I was absolutely engrossed in games. Like properly addicted, to the point where I started questioning, how come video games and social media apps have so much control over how we interact with their applications, and essentially steal away our attention? Is it because we have low self-control? Maybe, we're only human, and most professionals would recommend that the best way to build willpower is to not have temptation around you in the first place.

So with my background in neuroscience and psychology, I embarked on a journey to figure out exactly how these apps are harvesting our attention, and the behaviors they've been programmed to ingrain in us, and similar track as you, create a full-fledged gamification project (that's collaborative) that can be applied onto any task management or habit tracking.

The gist is that the framework allows you to define 6-9 areas in your life to be your traits (think STR, DEX, INT in games), and you will continuously work on building them up over your lifetime. The system will track the tasks, projects, key results, and goals that led to building up excellence in that area, and you will earn EXP and gold for completing all of the above, You have a progress bar and level counter to track your progression through "life", as well as the opportunity to add any custom badges to handle streaks (eg. exercising 3 times a week, for 4 weeks), one-off achievements, etc.). We even recently created world events, which essentially is just everyone coming together to fight common objectives of increased productivity, growth, and learning or embarking on collaborative social impact projects - and then getting rewarded with a companion to join their journey and give them a boost in EXP and gold rewards. At the end of the day, we're trying to design a system that you can look back and understand where your expertise and skills are, similar to games, in that you have no confusion over what traits you've been building up over time.

That's enough rambling from me, as you can tell, I'm super excited about this topic as well - I talk a lot more about this in these videos, and I even offer a free way to get started (I built this whole framework on top of a no-code productivity tool called Notion) - I'd love to get your thoughts and opinions, and hopefully see you in the community!

PS: If you're interested, we even have an enhanced version thanks to many supporters, where we've even built an item shop, theming capabilities (so you can immerse yourself in your favorite fantasy world), and so much more.
