It’s extremely helpful, at least speaking for myself. There’s a technique called “body doubling” which entails doing tasks in the presence of another, it’s what we’re basing the whole idea around.
We think it works because the other person there acts as a sort of proxy for motivation (I chat a bit more about it here: https://doubleapp.xyz/blog/body-doubling-proxy https://doubleapp.xyz/blog/body-doubling-proxy )
We do provide the option for people to filter to others that are doing something similar (e.g., creative vs exercise/active, etc.). We plan to make it a more fine grained in the future for sure!
