Big Picture Gamification App

So this is an app that tries to see if an algorithm can actually create meaning for people. I think Gamification is hella interesting because it can make things fun that aren't (hard work is always bad, which is why we are so lazy, etc.) but where I don't like what already exists is that it's hyper specialized to specific things (fitness, productivity, etc.). So I think the cool concept is to base it off of the big picture. It looks at all the things in your life that you do and creates a fantasy type system around it. <br><br>So the idea here is that running your day to day life creates a kind of magic energy called mana. Every time you generate mana (whether because of things you have been doing or earning rewards, etc.) you can choose how you would like to use that energy. The choices are different realms. Say for instance you've been getting in shape lately, well that would be a realm for the Body. You could also dedicate to the realm for Social, Productivity, Learning, Family, etc. These realms can be fairly open to interpretation. So then as your realms get more powerful, I think the idea is that certain things would be happening. For instance if your realm for Body is high level then your physical training gets easier. Perhaps your realm for Productivity is high and then things just start to easily fall into place for you. I think it is cool because it creates this sense of how everything is related and that is actually true in life. <br><br>There are other features that I could see that would be interesting as well. Perhaps you earning rewards for completing quests and things. But for the quests to also be based on big picture things that are going on in life. It's cool because of how much interconnectedness there is. Also, your realm strengths could be based on your personality and your life history and your strengths and weaknesses. There's a lot of data out there that would be super interesting if it all worked together in a more cohesive way. <br><br>I think it would be a good app because I think that it would change people's outlooks on life in a positive way. It helps to add more magic to running the day to day and increases motivation while also increasing the sense of reward. It promotes being a more well rounded person as far as I can tell. I think that's a great thing. I think it adds more magic to life. And you see how much magic has impacted our history and how people think (although there are also negatives of it, etc.). This magic though is based on real life and I think it helps people reach their goals and see them more clearly (even though it is all just based on interpretation). <br><br>Anyway, just thought I'd share. Let me know if you have any thoughts.
