Digitalions has launched ADHD Help, a web app designed to help manage ADHD-related challenges such as anxiety, procrastination, and overwhelm. Key features include interactive coping techniques employing CBT, DBT, and mindfulness methods for immediate relief, an ambient sound mixer with customizable soundscapes to enhance focus or relaxation, a quick ADHD self-test for symptom identification, and a curated blog offering practical advice and insights. The creator is seeking feedback from the Hacker News community. A commenter suggested a dark mode for better nighttime usability, a common time for people with ADHD to be online. Another commenter inquired about customization options beyond the existing background sound controls, to accommodate the varied ways ADHD manifests. The creator responded that future plans include an intelligent system for selecting self-help techniques based on the user's current state, assessed via a short test.
