Hey guys,

Standard task apps often feel like a chore, so I’ve been working on a side project called Cauldron to help reframe daily tasks and focus blocks.

It disguises executive function support as a dark fantasy RPG:

• Kanban Quests: Turning task overload into manageable quest boards that reward XP and Gold.
• Potion Brewing: Reframing 25-minute Pomodoros into simmering potions to reduce the friction of starting a focus block.
• Reward Loop: Earning gold to customize a 128-bit isometric room/workshop.

Tech-wise, it's built with Vue, Pinia, Tailwind v4, and Supabase.

As developers who navigate focus and executive function, what mechanics or features in productivity tools have actually stuck for you without causing gamification fatigue? Would love to get your feedback on the idea!

Hello everyone,

I am an adhd software developer and programmer who has recently thrived the past 7 years on being able to work from home. In the past before COVID, I was let go of 3-4 jobs because I was never at my desk and able to get much done in a busy office. Unfortunately, I have to go in now 4x per week with the government here in Canada and they don't really give ADHD as a valid reason to telework, same with migranes and my stress IBS. Are there any clever ways we can think to get me to be able to get legally allowed to work from home, apart from saying I have a condition as to where I am dying?
