šŸšØšŸšØ Attention Squad Captains & Team Superstars!

I'm a product guy working on Numo, and I'm on a mission to rescue the Teams feature. I can't do it without your help, so I need your unfiltered feedback about Teams: - What do you WISH Teams did differently? - What would make it super sticky and supportive? - Missing features? This is your chance to literally redesign Teams! Don't hold back... I want ALL your wild ideas, big and small! šŸ’„ BONUS: Everyone who drops a suggestion in the comments, I'll boost their karma by +100!šŸ’„ P.S. I purposely made this post with loads of likes and comments. Let's see if we can get this trending and get those suggestions rolling!

Iā€™d like it if posts were the main screen when you open up the Team tab šŸ˜Š

we could simply save where you left off in team posts or team tasks and display that the next time you visit the team tab. I suppose it would be the best option šŸ˜Š

Can we, as a team, talk to other teams!? I think we were grouped together based on our interests/careers?

Iā€™m new to this & Iā€™m having trouble figuring out how this works. Is there some sort of explanation of how to get started? There are lists & there are comments. How do I find them & post in them?

Iā€™m not really sure how to fix this but no one engages in conversation and there is little to no support. Right now Numo feels like a glorified to-do list which sucks as the foundation and potential is already there to be so much more and such a great support for all of us. It seems most members arenā€™t utilising this. All Iā€™m seeing is lists being ticked off and feelings. I try to engage and no one responds. Still in my trial period and I want to sign up but with only the list feature being of any use thus far I might end up just going back to native reminders. I hate saying it as I would love to be able to chat to others, offer support, have a laugh, and make it a bit more competitive between team members and also teams.

Also, is an option to directly message a member possible? Perhaps two very like minded people could engage in conversation directly and support each other? Food for thought

Definitely! To schedule a task for weekdays, select the 'Ritual' option and then 'Weekly'. From there, you can choose the specific weekdays you'd like. Let me know if you need any more help!

Body Doubling on Teams ā€¦ Chunk out the time slots visual on a calendar similar to Motionā€¦ teams to be supported by a therapist that can give us hacks/info like suited to ie designers, or mothers etc ā€¦ I know I tried ask questions in my group to relate, but didnā€™t get any responses that I can see

Sometimes I go to bed and forget to update my final tasks Iā€™ve done for the night. Then when I do go to update there isnā€™t a way to backtime them for yesterday. Can you add something like that? Otherwise Iā€™m loving the app! Simple enough for me to not feel overwhelmed by options, but fun and filled with mini-rewards that keep me smiling.

I kinda thought it would be like FB groups and we could scroll memes and posts from similarly minded ADHD people (like one for metal lovers, one for parents, etc. then maybe pod style smaller teams like group chats. I need a place I can laugh and relate.

Exactly, that's the idea! But you're not seeing memes because no one has posted any in your group yet. You could be the first to post a meme and start the fun ;)

It would really be helpful if we got a warning that changes are being made, what the changes will be, and not just throw them out at us. Change is not easy for us ADHDers, especially when instead of making sure what is already here works properly, you want to keep adding things.

We're always working hard, day and night, to make updates and improvements. You can expect new version from us every 1-2 weeks. We're not just adding new stuff; we're also making sure everything works better for you. And, we plan to keep you in the loop with posts about what's changed right in the app. Hope this helps and makes things a bit clearer!

I think having more info about the teams that are available would be very helpful. Maybe having a feature for body doubling that could have a wider user base than a single team would help a lot of folks.

Also, when I first started I was assigned a little group who I interacted with fairly often, then the app updated and completely changed its structure. I lost that group and it put me in a new one so I walked away and havenā€™t bothered with teams since.

I think the whole app is very buggy, but especially teams. It takes awhile for my inputs to process. Also, you canā€™t force people to engage with each other, especially when their stress levels are high enough in life.

It would be great to have a seperate task and post board šŸ˜Š and be able to achieve things as a team would be cool! Like badges or something šŸ¤” you know weā€™re here for the rewards šŸ˜šŸ˜‰ the confetti, little music jingle and leveling up is why Iā€™m on a 136 day streak!

Camilita avatar

Good morning fantastic developers! ā˜€ļø I honestly believe it would be better to add some new features in teams and some possibility to have access to preview other teams, but still restrict to be member of one team only. It is said that we need stability and routineā€¦ however, thinking the grass is greener on the other side, wanting something new, different, is so typical for usā€¦ (šŸ˜… just thinking about how many different hobbies Iā€™ve tried and quit). If we all can jump around, in and out of teams I believe that the accountability part and consistency in many of the teams would fall apart, because we love jumping from one thing to another, and I believe thatā€™s exactly why so many are asking for that possibility šŸ’› But hand on heart, is it really helpful for us to be able to stay on routine and tasks by switching between different groups? For the social aspect and sharing things just by interest, well, there is already the possibility to write posts and communicate with all of members, just like we are doing exactly right now in this post! šŸ‘ And if so many are longing for more social interaction, maybe there should be asigned tasks that improve the interact in the teams. Daily/weekly polls or questions that force the team together or somethingā€¦ ā€¦.and of course, the reward system needs to work properly for people to stay consistent. šŸ’š have a good day and keep up the good work! You are all IT rock stars! āœØā­ļøšŸ”„šŸ’«

Make it competitive- teams competing against other teams in some way - but prevent cheating somehow - something fun - let us work on challenges together, develop team names and icons

tiffanitwysted avatar
tiffanitwysted

Bring back daily challenges that provide incentives for completing tasks like chatting with our teams and interacting with- so that team members can learn to make it more of a habit - nothing is drawing us in if no one is interacting with each other - it feels pointless

I would love to see an option when we sign up to sin up for teams temporarily even so you can see what itā€™s all about. I know we can start one by inviting others, but I donā€™t know any benefits of teams. I could be missing out big time.

When I struggle with my adhd, my beloved partner always tells me ā€œkeep it simple, donā€™t overcomplicate things. Make sure to clean up, organise what you already have, instead of thinking about what is missing.ā€ ā­ļø I just want to leave that thought here ā­ļø Fixes of whatā€™s already there is always ok, implementing a new smaller feature should be ok, but making it too big will lead to a neglect of the bug maintenance in other parts of the app. Start small. Dirty draft is good, but then you have to make sure to go back and have a look before you continue building, and not just directly make another dirty draft and then another dirty draft on topā€¦ to build something big, the foundation must be solid, otherwise in the end it might lead to a crash or major operational disruptions that interferes with the purpose of the app. Thank you for letting us engage in the process and I wish you the best of luck šŸ’š

No worries, youā€™re not being harsh. Youā€™re passionate, and I love it. Sometimes I wish everyone could see what goes on behind the scenes. Behind the super tiny team... If Iā€™d tell you how few of us have coded this massive thing, you wouldnā€™t believe it. So, weā€™re a tiny team doing something huge. We chosed to get the app out there, scrappy and imperfect, to start helping people right away. Now weā€™re shifting our focus towards making those fixes and polishing everything up. Weā€™re in the trenches every single day, burning the midnight oil because we believe in the appā€™s mission to help people, more than anything. Most of the money we make gets poured right back into making the app better. We stumble, we mess up, but we never stop pushing. I really thank you for being patient with us. I truly value you and everyone who helps us improve this app in any way. šŸ“ā¤ļø

Honestly, things are going really well at our team šŸ˜… The only thing Iā€™m missing is the capability to ā€œpinā€ a post at the top of the teamā€™s page. This way, we can have a *visible* weekly or monthly topic that our group can discuss together (the chat window on top can act like this, but itā€™s a weaker alternative.) Also, to be honest, Iā€™m not a big fan of the ā€œjoining multiple teamsā€ idea thatā€™s floating around in the forumsā€¦. It will (a) complicate the app further, (b) keep encouraging overly-specific teams, and (c) it will reduce the social coherence of individual teams. It honestly sounds like an idea that tries treating a symptom instead of treating the root cause (overly-specific teams, unengaged senior team members or admins, etc.) But thatā€™s just my opinionā€¦.

Is there a cap on how many people can join? I ask because mine has been sitting on the same number for a while, and being a leader means I can't see what the menu list of other teams looks like for people just joining, or if they see this team available. Also, is there any way to see who's been most active in a team? I don't necessarily want to kick anyone for not being active but if there's a cap on users I also don't want to keep people from trying out the group. I guess I am trying to think about how to keep the teams active with new blood in participation; I'm nervous my group will eventually just be the same four people posting when I'd love to find a way to invite newcomers in-app!
