Hey HN,

Josh here, I'm a long-time lurker on these forums and finally have something to share with you.

ThriveMind is a brain-game platform where you collect beautiful photos of planet Earth.

One of the reasons I built this is because I feel like brain/educational games on the web are due for a UX renaissance. I wanted to build a platform loaded with meta-games, delightful animations, clean transitions, and positive reinforcement.

I've lived in Canada, BC my whole life and I get outdoors every weekend. So I wanted to make a love letter to hiking and appreciating nature's beauty.

I've been making games for over 20 years (10 years professionally) but this is my first time releasing a product by myself. I absolutely adore front end web technology so I built this React app with Google Cloud so that I can focus on building the fun stuff and back-end particulars are just a config.

I have a thick skin so don't hold back on any criticism. ThriveMind has been in development for less than a year (as a side project), so there is still a lot that will change.
