Re the website: I checked this out, I love the concept, it's super cute and relatable! I love the idea of de-guiltifying relationship maintenance. It's a thing we all struggle with. Gamifying it, and making it fun, is a wonderful idea. (Sadly I'm not the person to test this iteration. Houseplants are my personal guilt-and-torture machines. I realized this early, and haven't had any in decades.) But the plant metaphor seems sticky and attractive, especially for plant lovers who struggle with IRL relationships. A couple of meta observations. One, relationship maintenance is hard for everyone. We feel like "it's just me, I'm so anti-social." But it's not us! Everyone feels that way. Online social maintenance is overwhelming. Two, our self-criticisms can be distorted. I recently apologized to a friend for not following up on an email exchange. They didn't even notice, and certainly weren't offended. Three, the best strategy by far that I've found, for tackling social overwhelm, is ruthlessly pruning out guilt-trippers and passive-aggressive needlers. Seriously, 80% of my guilt was generated by 20% of my contacts. The mental peace from doing this, is many multiples of the small social loss. HTH. Carry on. It's a great concept.
