As someone who worked in an advertising-industry startup for 2 years before questioning what I was doing, I agree with everything you've said (in your linked post too), and sorry to see you're getting downvoted. The project I subs

Thanks! Hmm, well, if you leverage that attribute in the right way, it could be a big asset. The thing which I'm trying to do differently from other habit-building apps is get users to put a real focus on making tangible progress tow
