Thanks for answering all my questions. I'll ping you guys and see about testing this out. We created a learning platform for anatomy[0], and gamification and motivation is one of the things we know we can and should improve. Sounds like dopamine can be a good fit.
p.s. I really like the name!
1.) We're releasing our web sdks next week: A PHP version and a Python version, each with a JS frontend wrapper. If you email me at [email protected] I can poke you when it's shipped!
2.) We do! To get dev's off the ground we released a library of popups with different icon images like you saw. You can modify parameters like color, duration, copy.
AND you can arbitrarily call any UX-updating function from the code that handles the Dopamine API's response. This lets you map a response we give you to any function in your app. We're sprinting to deploy a way to do this more elegantly on the integration dashboard also.
3.) Yes, we did. TL;DR: We outperform alternatives that devs are resorting to right now. @tdaltonc: care to chime in?
