Hey, any chance you'd be open to telling me a bit about what you're working on? I'm on a bit of a... journey to get beyond the 'shitty contract webdev work', and the direction I'm looking to go is technology applied to psychology (therapy and/or lifestyle, in particular). My first thought was also some CBT-related app.

Sure. Well, It's an app to help you be a better person of your own design. CBT is one of the libraries to choose from, but there are others for leadership, relationships, health and so forth.

Hrm, I would not identify it as an appification of CBT - You can use it to help implement CBT or other behavioral/cognitive changes, but the actual understanding would need to be done previously, to get the most benefit. Although I suppose even without any previous knowledge or awareness, some value could be derived.
