One week ago I've launched my first project as a developer. https://magicalpush.com/ https://magicalpush.com/ (no English language yet) Magical Push is a social project which helps people to develop new positive behaviors. Every day participants of a 30-days challenge should do 4 simple things: - to learn something new - to exercise - to do an act of kindness - to meditate I've curated a lot of content from edx and coursera online courses, a collection of online fitness classes, guided meditations, random acts of kindness ideas, etc. Nothing super special, but I feel good by spreading positive ideas and lifestyle.

Alright, that's fun. Went checking and it was in russian. So lucky to be Russian myself :D but seriously, translate first before posting here. Upd: noticed your note, so I guess my bad.

>Magical Push is a social project which helps people to develop new positive behaviors. Oh wow, that's really cool! The popularization of cognitive science and psychology has resulted in some really great stuff, can't wait to see what this is! Let's keep reading the comment. >- to learn something new Awesome! I love learning new things! I bet this app/whatever has a lot of cool programmed learning tricks to make this great like spaced repetition or elaborative rehearsal. This sounds really cool. >- to exercise That's awesome too! Exercise is scientifically strongly linked to a variety of good outcomes for mental and physical health, so it should really be in an app like this. >- to do an act of kindness That's pretty advanced! The research about how gift-giving and similarly altruistic behavior is useful isn't as popular as the exercise research, this must be a really cool app with a lot of great empirically-minded ways to "push" you into having better habits! >- to meditate ....oh. I guess it's just a new age/woowoo thing. Time to move on I guess. That's really disappointing. --- Really hope you remove meditation; hokey religions have no place in the modern nudge-engineered world.
