Looks cool! Would love to see more community aspects - I find that's he most powerful thing for me in cultivating healthy behavioral changes.

@caseyrosengren Thanks! That's a great idea that we should start exploring. The Fabulous users feel that the app is very personable (The app calls them by their name, etc) but we didn't yet implement any community aspect. Do you think a simple forum is a good starter, or we should push this further?

@Samibh I think that can be a start, but I think the best way to get this working is to build small, tight-knit communities. You should check out Omada Health - they have a purely virtual diabetes prevention program. They break people up into small groups of 10-12 to form communities going through the program, which I believe helps with engagement. If I were you, I'd take the top 10-20% of active users and invite them to go into communities with other power users. You want the people in the communities to be active, otherwise it can act as a demotivator.
I've actually experimented with this personally as well - had a FB group with some random people 2 years ago for new years resolutions. Anyway, I love this stuff, so am happy to talk more offline if you're interested :)
