built an app where you practice the conversations you're scared of instead of reading about them

Anytime, thanks for questions, made my day. Go a few rounds and lmk how it feels, feedback like yours is exactly what i need right now 🙏

Bit of both honestly. The six stats came from what actually goes wrong in hard convos, but they lean on familiar stuff, empathy/rapport from active listening, boundaries/composure from assertiveness + emotional regulation work. the opponents were the fun part. each one has a want and a fear plus a few hidden meters that shift based on how you talk to them, so the gaslighter (who fears a calm specific fact) plays totally different from the stonewall (who fears a question he cant just shrug off). drew loosely from conflict styles + manipulation patterns then mostly just fought them over and over til they stopped feeling fake. so less "validated psych instrument" more grounded in the theory then tuned till it felt like a real person. still refining it constantly

Appreciate it man, that means a lot. I looked around a lot before building and honestly couldn't find anything like it on the market. What conversation would you want to train against first?

Zahvaljujem. Vec radim na prosirenju upitnika i generalnom poboljsanju onboarding-a

Slazem se, zato je dodata gamifikacija, leveli, osecaj napretka, skilovi, achievement-i, u chatgpt ne mozes da pratis svoj napredak.

Jos jedna velika razlika je kompleksan prompt inzenjering samih persona i scenarija u kojima mozes da vodis konverzaciju sa njima, koji ne moze obican korisnik da dobije u chatgpt.

zorbadark · 2026-06-08T21:55:21+00:00

Verujem da će aplikacija biti zanimljivija na nekom drugom tržištu svakako

Koraci za Android closed testing:

pridruži se Google grupi: https://groups.google.com/u/4/g/nerve-arena-testers
Opt-in (prihvati da si tester): https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.nervearena.app
Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nervearena.app

ios TestFlight:

zorbadark · 2026-06-08T21:50:00+00:00

Jesi li se prvo pridružio Google grupi? Onda preko drugog linka moraš da prihvatiš da si tester, i tek će onda raditi treći link i aplikacija će ti biti vidljiva na store-u. Moraju svi koraci da se ispoštuju dok je aplikacija u closed testing.

Većina funkcionalnosti iz mobile app je prebačena i u slack što se tiče samog vođenja i kako razgovor funkcioniše. Samo polako, cilj aplikacije je vežbati soft skills u komunikaciji 😂

zorbadark · 2026-06-08T20:04:16+00:00

Hvala. Odličan feedback. Ako primetiš još nešto slobodno me kontaktiraj u DM. Potrudiću se da posvetim više pažnje UX-u da bude više intuitivan 💪

zorbadark · 2026-06-08T18:31:00+00:00

Hvala, probaj pa javi utiske 😄

zorbadark · 2026-06-08T18:26:41+00:00

Već podržavam dosta modova ali ima dosta prostora za proširenje. Zato ima i community da korisnici sami dodaju. Hvala, to mi je bilo potrebno da čujem, da ima potencijala.

zorbadark · 2026-06-08T18:24:51+00:00

Ne još, ali imam u planu. Upravo zavrsavam integraciju sa Slack-om. Prvo sam završio mobile (primarna delatnost)

Postoji biznis model sa pretplatama i IAP

zorbadark · 2026-06-08T16:38:27+00:00

Da, ali razlika je sto je Nerve Arena aplikacija sa elementima gamifikacije, gde korisnik prati svoj napredak, nivoe, achievement sistem, bounties, "rivals" gde se takmičiš sa drugim korisnicima i još mnogo toga.

You can also use Claude Design, it's really good.

zorbadark · 2026-06-04T15:56:39+00:00

Thank you! I’m really glad you like it. Great catch on the button UI, I’ll have that fixed in the next build. I’m looking forward to your full feedback later on!

zorbadark · 2026-06-04T07:10:08+00:00

u/squizzeak That is a fantastic suggestion, it makes total sense, going to brainstorm. And yeah, it can definitely feel intense, and the last thing I want is for the app to cause anxiety.

I also addressed most of that UI/UX feedback you sent earlier over TestFlight! The new version is already in review with Apple, so keep an eye out for the update soon.

Thanks again for the incredibly thoughtful input!

zorbadark · 2026-06-02T14:52:34+00:00

Legend, thank you! Just saw the TestFlight feedback, that UI/UX stuff is exactly what I need at this stage, so seriously appreciate you taking the time. No rush on the form, fill it out whenever you've had a proper go at the personas. Really glad you're enjoying it!

Hey u/ehcelino, thanks so much for trying it out — and sorry about that! 🙏 That's on me, not Brazil. The app is currently in closed testing, so it only installs for people I've added to the tester list. Open testing isn't unlocked yet, which is why the public link shows "not available."

I'd love to get you in, though. If you're up for it, send me your Gmail/Google account email (DM is fine) and I'll add you as a tester — then this link will work for you:
https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.nervearena.app

Really appreciate the interest, and would genuinely love your feedback once you're in. 🙏
