The front door. Everything above the fold has one job: get a stranger to type the thing they are actually spiraling about.

The build is real and live — the harder, more open question is how a perspective-shift app finds the people who need it. This wing is the go-to-market thinking, held honestly as a plan I'm running, not a set of results I'm claiming.

Taking it to market

MindShift sells a feeling, not a feature, which makes marketing awkward: you can't screenshot a reframe and have it land the way it lands when it's yours. So the strategy leans on word-of-mouth and demonstration over paid reach — let people run the whole loop for free, let the shift do the convincing, and make the moment shareable (the screenshot-your-reframe path is a growth surface as much as a UX one). Merch and social sit downstream of that: a small, mood-matched line that treats the three worlds — Cyberpunk, Kawaii, Notepad — as identities people already recognize, and a social presence that shows the tool being used rather than advertised. None of this is proven out yet; it's the next front, and I'm treating GTM with the same "no dark patterns" rule as the product — earn attention, don't trap it.

Field notes

The lineup doubles as the hook. Lincoln and Chuck Norris in one grid is the screenshot that travels.
