I love the new version! The "Dashboard" style view is perfect for someone like me. Thinking about the flip side of it, I am someone who likes to be able to quickly see everything and have access to all the features (hence I really enjoy dashboards)

I am not sure whether a "wizard" style intro would be helpful for other newbies (e.g., first time you log in it says "Would you like a tour?" - directs you to take the quiz (or skip it) see what a quest is, has you add a couple, supporters, etc)

Also, perhaps you could add a way for us to "randomly" support new people with similar (or the same) quest. Like maybe if someone new joins up in a quest we are in, and we haven't gotten too many notifications from the app today, show a notifications that says "Hey Sid, Mike also joined quest __be fit__. Why don't you __view his profile___ or __support him___?" No idea if this is feasible

On the dashboard - wondering if there is an easy way to just show me quests I am in, and let me update status directly

Just noticed it sends me a notification when I update the "Wall" of a quest.

Question - how do other people see my 30 day challenge? Can they? Perhaps you could find a way of displaying that instead of/in addition to the stars? No idea what a good way to do this is, just throwing it out there.

I like the list of tasks and next actions, I am not sure if it is helpful to the application for me. My perspective is I always like more features, but that needs to be balanced against additional options which may confuse users. I guess I just don't think I will use the task list, since I already have a task list outside the app. It would actually be nice if I could make tasks that are public, and so when I add a task it posts to my dogether "profile" (e.g., "Sid is going to go ___buy a pullup bar___. It is a [low/medium/high/top] priority") and then when I check it off, it says "Sid Savara completed task "___buy a pullup___ bar" after __6__ days". I personally don't like stuff posting to my facebook wall, but perhaps other people might like somethign like this - and then that may be another way to market the app

Tracking page is not working for me - not sure if it is me or the app. I think if you do enable tracking, it should automatically post directly to the quest "wall" as well so people can see and comment (just my 2 cents, don't have to listen to me if this is not the purpose). Basically, I think everything that I do that is "good" should be made public so other people can give props/comments

Also, can you add a feature like a thumbs up versus just commenting? Maybe instead of a thumbs up, a high five? My concern is without something like this, it'll lead to less comments/support. OF course, having that feature could also lead to less comments in lieu of a lazy "high five"



Ok time to work! And regarding virtual assistants, at this moment I do not have any actively working for me. I am actually trying to phase out all additional work and tasks from my life, and then once I am down to a manageable amount of things, bring in virtual assistants again in a very focused way. I really enjoy having virtual assistants, sometimes to help me out, and sometimes because I think it is jsut fun to have someone else to delegate to (even if the task is not that useful - e.g., find me a restaurant for dinner)
