Inspiration
Social stigma is an extremely powerful tool. It sticks in the mind and weighs on the individual like a hellish miasma. We aim to transform this emotion into a habit tracker for queer people. By keeping track of a users habits and showing their statuses for all to see, it forces the users to complete their tasks due to their social standing at risk. For example, if you haven't registered that you've showered for a few days, your peers would think less of you.
What it does
The user register chores you want to complete with the bot and by what time they need to be completed by. For example, showering by midnight.
The user would check in with the bot and register that they completed the chore, or the bot will check in with you independently to remind them to do it prior to the deadline.
At a specific global time, it displays an output in a specific discord channel of the chores and their statuses. There is also a command to display this ad-hoc. The completeness of these chores being public is the incentive to complete them, as you and all your friends can see it.

It broke once or twice. I fixed it
Accomplishments that we're proud of
It works!
What we learned
Shame is a powerful tool
What's next for Shame
An app similar to BeReal that makes the control flow more convenient to retain users.
Or a flow to post rude things on social media if the user doesnt complete them, almost like a dead man's switch. To further incentivize positive behaviour.
