What's the deal with the gif in the "feel weird?" block (the one with the guy holding the microphone)? Otherwise I get it, but couldn't I just set a timer usin

  Yes, and you can do it a whole host of other ways. But me, personally, I often find dedicated applications for particular purposes work better :)

    The goal is to develop this into a standalone desktop application (think: Growl notifications). Then, it'll be paired with a custom hardware peripheral to encourage social reinforcement. Right now, it's email-based, which is pretty terrible. Way more intrusive than I'd like.

  You could, but who actually does? You'd have to be awfully committed to set timers each and every day. Eventually, I want to pair it with a physical desktop hardware companion to close the feedback loop and really integrate it deeper into office culture. Wellness programs right now are a joke because 1) they lack feedback to prove effectiveness and 2) exercising after work does not fix the damage of sitting all day. That was Michelle Obama's photo-bomb on the Miami Heat from earlier this week. I think she was trying to convey the same thing I'm trying to convey: there's no shame in moving around and stretching in the office, although it might look a little weird to others.
