Over the past few years I've struggled to find good/trusted resources for things that might be useful to those with ADHD.<p>Common issues with other sites were:<p>* Very limited options and/or info, or products that weren't actually useful.<p>* Blog post or news articles like "top 10 things to help with your ADHD" often had limited info or didn't have enough context to be useful.<p>* Unclear if some authors had ADHD or experience with ADHD. In some cases you could tell a random writer got assigned this post to write, but had no idea what ADHD is really like.<p>* Walls of text or cluttered/overwhelming design, meaning that the content was too hard to read and/or the site made me anxious (after which I bounced).<p>As a result, I created ADHD STASH, where I've tried to:<p>* Limit content length and complexity, while sharing key info
* Use design that feels friendly and fun
* Give people the option to find products/services based on use case or problem areas
* Only recommend products where I own them and have tried them for a significant period.<p>Questions/Feedback<p>Any constructive feedback is welcome, especially from people who have ADHD!<p>In particular, it would be great to get real world feedback to help me validate/invalidate my hypothesis that the design/content is ADHD friendly and if the latter, what I could improve upon.<p>P.S. Since I bought all these products to test out of my own pocket and that I use Apple ecosystem devices, it's only natural that some of the options listed are Apple centric. That being said, I'm saving up to get some more Google/Windows related devices to test!<p>P.P.S. Some affiliate links for the US are a bit fiddly (aka, showing search results instead of products, even when something is in stock), but I'm trying to fix that atm.
Love this, love this! The attention to detail is pretty damn professional, and this is quite clearly by someone who knows the kind of stuff that works well for ADHD peeps.<p>Nitpicky feedback: the layout needs a little tweakery for wide layout; as it stands 3 boxes on a wide screen is quite Large. A `max-width` on the categories and products (they look like the same CSS?) works well.<p>I especially appreciate the portable desk whiteboard; it seems perfect when I inevitably figure out how to not have an omnidesk (food and work included, which is an utter cardinal sin I know…)<p>I don't use Amazon so apologise in advance that these might not have affiliate, but I might also recommend the Ikea NILSERIK as a cheaper alternative for an ergonomic stool. A blue light alarm is absolutely useful: the Lumie Zest seems to have been discontinued (good! it was SUPER expensive) but I can't comment on if the newer ones have more gimmick faff. Either way the slow 30minute 'sunrise' is pretty good so I would absolutely recommend it.<p>If nothing else I can wholeheartedly recommend the youtube channel (and now book!) How To ADHD; Jessica's vids are real thorough, engaging, useful and with brains in mind! It might be super useful to sprinkle them into various articles, though be aware there are a WHOOOLE bunch of vids lol...<p>Anyhow a fellow ADHD haver you have my thanks and kudos for concept and follow-through! Keep going; you have my bookmark :>

That being said, I'm saving up to get some more Google/Windows related devices to test!<p>This is fine and understandable, but things like AirPods really need something like "fully functional only with macOS/iOS" listed in their cons, since this restriction negates several listed pros for majority of the population.
I’m not affiliated with them but you should check out “brick” I just bought one myself. It’s an rfid device you have to tap your phone on to unlock and lock apps.<p>I usually “brick” my phone when I go upstairs to bed and unbrick it when I go back downstairs so I don’t scroll in bed.<p><a href="https://getbrick.app/" rel="nofollow">https://getbrick.app/</a>
Hey man, I love it! Even the little things like the fact that you picked such a gorgeous little orange for that radio; those are the little touches that only people who actually have ADHD would think of.<p>Sight design is great too; perfect amount of info, great layout, colour that guides rather than distracts, love it.
