Love this, love this! The attention to detail is pretty damn professional, and this is quite clearly by someone who knows the kind of stuff that works well for ADHD peeps.

Nitpicky feedback: the layout needs a little tweakery for wide layout; as it stands 3 boxes on a wide screen is quite Large. A `max-width` on the categories and products (they look like the same CSS?) works well.

I especially appreciate the portable desk whiteboard; it seems perfect when I inevitably figure out how to not have an omnidesk (food and work included, which is an utter cardinal sin I know…)

I don't use Amazon so apologise in advance that these might not have affiliate, but I might also recommend the Ikea NILSERIK as a cheaper alternative for an ergonomic stool. A blue light alarm is absolutely useful: the Lumie Zest seems to have been discontinued (good! it was SUPER expensive) but I can't comment on if the newer ones have more gimmick faff. Either way the slow 30minute 'sunrise' is pretty good so I would absolutely recommend it.

If nothing else I can wholeheartedly recommend the youtube channel (and now book!) How To ADHD; Jessica's vids are real thorough, engaging, useful and with brains in mind! It might be super useful to sprinkle them into various articles, though be aware there are a WHOOOLE bunch of vids lol...

Anyhow a fellow ADHD haver you have my thanks and kudos for concept and follow-through! Keep going; you have my bookmark :>

Hello brains!

I'm sure you've already guessed it, but I'm a huge fan of Jessica's videos too! I love what she's done and she's one of the people who inspired me to start doing some videos about ADHD too (planned in the coming months). I'll also be linking her channel in the resource section soon, along with Adam Savage's tested and a few others.

Thanks for the feedback about wide screens btw, will look into it. May I ask what the resolution is of the screen and what browser you're using? I'll save that as a size to test for when updating the site.

I'm so happy you liked the desk whiteboard and 100% know what you mean about the omnidesk setup. Also, if that's a cardinal sin, I too am a sinner as I currently have on my desk...an iMac, a 3D printer AND an airbrushing setup .

As for the recommendations. Thank you so much for taking the time to share those! I'll add them to my list of things to test next. Also, since you've mentioned the bookmarking, do check back in a few weeks as I currently have about 20 more things I'll be slowly adding.

Once again, thank you so so much for your detailed feedback, suggestions and the kind words. The resulting dopamine boost is making me even more excited to continue working on this .
