Thank you, and there are a lot of challenges! The greatest one I think is making sure that users find content that's a) relevant, b) more than just some quick-fix temporary entertainment and c) something they'll want to do and feel ready to do. We don't want the site to be something that people only use to passively ease the pain for a while (though that is of course helpful sometimes), we want them to also find things that engage them. We've talked in the team about this quite a lot and how difficult it can be.
Ideally, in time, there would be some kind of system that lets users input some basic info about who they are and what they like, and then the site would make suggestions with say a) what content sections/tags that might be relevant, b) a specific link/site that might be interesting, and c) a specific activity that the user can try, that wouldn't take much time or effort and still be interesting. We want to help people get the ball rolling with getting more active in their homes.
Speaking from clinical psychology experience and from I guess just general experience of being a human, I know how hard it is for people to start new habits. You want the person to get started with something that's meaningful while also being fun/interesting enough to compete with watching another YouTube video - which again, is totally fine in moderation, it's just when the passivity becomes too much of a pattern that it's a problem.
Do you see a particular challenge we should keep in mind? :)
