I'm building an app that will make it stupid simple and fast to purchase trees that will be replanted in major reforestry projects around the world:<p>https://treespree.io<p>The app will encourage you to invite friends to form teams. The teams will drive leaderboards, gamification and hopefully some virality. You'll get stats and maps on where your trees went.<p>Social reforestation as a service, in light of insights like these: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/jul/04/planting-billions-trees-best-tackle-climate-crisis-scientists-canopy-emissions<p>Would you use this app if I built it and contribute $5? $20?
> Would you use this app if I built it<p>No, because of the gamification angle:<p>> The app will encourage you to invite friends to form teams. The teams will drive leaderboards, gamification and hopefully some virality.<p>I wouldn’t want yet another app trying to manipulate my behaviour[1], even if for an ostensibly good reason[2]. I’m unsure if competing around “which team does the most good” is a healthy way to solve the problem.<p>But I applaud your cause and might reference the app’s existence to some people on that basis. Whether I’d do that or not would depend on the implementation.<p>[1]: Though I appreciate your honesty.<p>[2]: What happens if incentives shift?
FWIW, I started putting together mockups here: <a href="https://mocks.treespree.io/" rel="nofollow">https://mocks.treespree.io/</a>
