Launch HN: Inflow (YC S21) – Self-help app for people with ADHD

minor nit about your website: the top menu's css might need adjusting. On my laptop (dell xps) the last letter of each word shows up in the next line, like so:

    Abou  FAQ
    t     s

Triggered my (minor) OCD!

Edit: added minor due to comment below in an attempt to clarify. The wierd text placement does bother me, i'm not joking. but its not that bad that i cannot get past it and read the rest of the website. thought i'd let the OP know; dont mean to poke fun at people who have been diagnosed with OCD. i'm still learning these terms via a child who was diagnosed with ADHD.

Especially considering this is a post about mental health, can we please quit labeling being picky as OCD? OCD is a serious condition, not a "haha I'm picky" joke.

didnt mean it as a joke. I did not have another label for my pickiness as you call it. i'm still learning these terms via my child who has been diagnosed, but the thing that bothered me is that it was misaligned. i have similar issues with magazine stacks that are not aligned, for example. i thought that was what was called mild ocd, hence used the word. make what you will of that.

Fair enough, it's just a pet peeve of mine. Like people who had a few too many drinks and start cracking jokes about being an alcoholic.

Have you looked into OCPD? (Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder) From my relatively uninformed knowledge on the subject, that sounds closer to OCPD. (Of course, talk to a licensed health practictoner, not a procrasting software engineer)

OCD sufferers prefer to call that OCPD. Being bothered by stuff like that is nowhere near as serious as real OCD which can be traumatic and life ruining.
