We have just released several new features for HeroMode that are sure to bring even more joy and excitement to the platform! From the addition of background music and sound effects, to the replacement of the "Memento" feature with "Quest Notes," we are continuously improving HeroMode to meet the needs of our users. The Info Centers are another addition that provides helpful tips and information to maximize your HeroMode experience. And let's not forget the Piggy Rewards System, which has now been made a core feature of HeroMode. All these updates are now available on web, chrome extension, and iOS, so make sure to check them out and let us know what you think!

Honestly, I was a bit skeptical about the Piggy Rewards System as a motivator. But fast forward a month after the Piggy release, I've completely changed my mind! I find myself more motivated and having more fun being productive. Each week, I work hard to earn those Piggy coins, and on the weekend, I splurge on Piggy rewards like video games and desserts. To quantitatively verify how Piggy has changed my productivity, I did some data analysis using HeroMode's points and coins data. I'm now fully a Piggy convert!

I recently launched a little game called "Yaaker!". It's a side project that developed over the course of several months. I had to overcome some technical challenges, and pick up new skills. Along the way, HeroMode has been very helpful:

• It helped me stay organized on the project tasks
• It helped me convert little chunks of free time into project progress that adds up
• It helped me stay motivated with points, rewards, and activity calendar

I don't think I would've been able to take this project from an idea to a finished product without HeroMode!

I'm excited to share that we've released a new "Contact Support" feature as part of our effort to revamp the onboarding experience of HeroMode! With this feature, users can easily get in touch with us directly whenever they need help or have suggestions on how to make HeroMode better. We also have more improvements coming soon, such as an Introduction Slider, Tour Guide, and Information Center, to make it easier for both new and existing users to find the information they need and discover new features.

Motivation is truly a superpower, and with the right strategies, it's possible to unlock its potential to achieve seemingly impossible challenges. In today's post, we explore insights from Daniel Pink's book, "Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us" and his TED talk, "The Puzzle of Motivation." We look at the traditional carrot-and-stick approach, and then break down the puzzle of motivation into its three key elements: autonomy, mastery, and purpose. Lastly, we discuss how HeroMode taps into intrinsic motivation to help people reach their goals. You too can unlock the superpower of motivation with HeroMode!

We have expanded the Adventure Gallery with more cover image options! Now, the gallery includes two sections: adventure templates, and additional cover image options. The templates section contains ten common adventure use cases, such as "Fitness", "Productivity", and "Build a New Habit". The additional cover image section contains 24 more cover images, adding more options on how you can easily customize your adventures. We hope you'll like it!

We had a couple of HeroMode releases last week. In v4.3, we improved the iPad layout to make it more consistent with the iPhone and web experience. And in the most recent v4.4 release, the Piggy Reward System is now available! With the Piggy Reward System, you can define rewards that motivate you. When you complete quests, you can earn coins that you can use to redeem rewards. We hope you will find Piggy to be a motivating addition to HeroMode!

We are currently working on a new motivation feature for HeroMode, called "Piggy". Piggy is a reward system where you can collect coins as you complete quests, and use the coins to redeem rewards. In this post, we'll give you a sneak peek of what it looks like!

Recently, I came across a TED talk about the importance of having fun. As someone who is a big advocate of using fun for productivity, I was excited to see that there is scientific evidence that backs up the importance of fun. Afterall, we are building HeroMode to make getting stuff done more fun! So in this post, we explore why fun is a key ingredient for both work and life, and how to leverage fun as a superpower for productivity.

We released HeroMode v4.2 today! In this new release, we are introducing Adventure Templates. These templates allow you to create adventures for common goals and use cases quickly, with a cover image and color theme. We are also simplifying the process of creating repeat quests, making it more intuitive. We hope you like it!
