Using leaderboards and other mind hacks to get people to free themselves from other attention hacks is interesting. Do you have anyone researching how well this works, medium and long term? I imagine some people love it and others feel it is counter to calm-tech design. .

Be careful not to use this forum as a target for marketing. This toes the line. 🙂 I edited it to tone it down a bit.
