Feedback Guidelines

Our project is open source because we believe that improving mental health education and culture requires open dialogue. However, please keep in mind that our project is not solving all of the problems that exist in mental health treatment. Our mission is to improve conversations about mental health experiences with loved ones, we are not looking to provide a medical or clinical service, which includes connecting our users to specific therapists or counselors. There is a growing number of companies and projects that are doing this, some of which we showcase on our Resources page. That being said, we are open to feedback (and have received it in the past) from mental health professionals.

Developers

While we are always looking for ways to improve our tech stack and code quality, suggestions like, "You should move to Python and Django" without any reasoning or suggestion to a migration plan is not helpful. All software is legacy code and while you may not love our tech stack, we continue to use it because it has not hindered our development process enough to prevent improvements from being made.
