Been interested in this since early days of your announcement but not joined any tests. Just wanted to say I respect your creative vision for the project but this stance will 100% make it dead to me if you remain immovable on it.
If you truly hate and don’t want to implement dark patterns as you say, having no robust action queue or only this bank implementation is antithetical since players will end up checking the app more often than necessary.
Perhaps your current system is the best one for people that need the extra encouragement to form good walking habits, but it does “punish” players that already have good step habits and prefer not to be on their phone as much as possible.
No hate at all, this is a noble effort to gamify movement and you just can’t please everyone. Just encouraging you to remain open to compromises like the “instant spend premium tax” recommendation.
Awesome, thanks
