adhd here, too, including asperger. seconded:

A huge intro post, like a text wall. That's everything an adhd person is trying to avoid.

Started the app. A couple of "motivational speeches". Asking some questions I don't even understand. Answered randomly, just to see what the app is offering. At the end: account required.

That's where you first lost me.

So I tried the website. First sentence just some sale-pitch-speech:

> Built from lessons learned after 80,000+ ADHD coaching sessions, Indy gives you the structure you need, daily support that keeps you accountable, and momentum you can actually sustain.

On the right some nothing-saying screenshot. Scrolling down. More text. Buzzword-Bingo. "Journey". "Build a vision." "Stop dreaming about your future. Start building it."

Great, another one of those catchy, fancy offers pretending to help you. Another pretty website from the default vercel-ish website-builder.

No offense - perhaps it's my asperger. This does not seem helpful at all. Maybe it is. Then it's on me.

I need clear, focussed messages. No noise. No modern interface. Form follows function. Not the other way around.

This comment might seem harsh, but this feedback is gold. I agree completely, matched my experience reading through the page, and I was diagnosed in my mid-40s with ADHD.

I wonder if the folks doing marketing are neurotypical, but they are trying to target a population that's neurodivergent? Just spitballing since I have no info, but an interesting topic.

After you sign up, you're asked to spend 10-15 minutes creating a "Lifeline." Which, despite its name, does not appear to be a lifeline of any kind, but rather a timeline of my life, except it also strips dates out, so... just a list of events in no particular order.

Unfortunately - I've got ADHD. I'm not going to spend the next 10 minutes telling the app the biggest facts about my life. Well, actually - I tried to, then I put the phone down to do something else, and when I came back the 'page' had refreshed and the four things I had entered were back down to just the first one.

(Why do you even want them? The app hasn't even explained how this will help. It's barely even tried to explain what the app will actually DO.)
