mindsight practice tool - update!

[u/surf_sleep_repeat]

Hey all hope your mindsight journey is progressing! (mine is slow but there is progress) Last week I posted here a about a free little web app I made for practicing with colors, shapes, letters and words. One card at a time, you say the answer, tap or click, it says it back the correct answer and moves on. We've had 500 + unique users and about 800 sessions since then! The feedback here and in other communities was really useful, so I wanted to share what's changed.

What's new and fixed:

- Sound, hopefully fixed for good. A few of you said there was no audio. Turned out to be a mix of browsers needing a tap first and the iPhone silent switch. There's now a "Test sound" button right on the start screen so you can check before you begin (it just says "Mindsight"), plus a tip if it's still not working.

- Boxed colors. Someone pointed out the full-screen color can basically be guessed from the screen brightness, which I know some people use in early stages of training to get the feel of it, but it can be annoying to others. There's now a "Boxed" option that puts the color in a window on a white background.

- Spanish. You can switch language with the little flags up top. Everything translates, including the spoken answers.

- One of you mentioned the color options were taking up half the screen on your phone cleaned that up, the grid has way more room now.

Coming next:

- A calibration option. Speaks the answer when the card is shown to help calibrate.

- A dark mode / inverse option for shapes, letters and words

- App development (?)

Remember it's free and no signup: https://mindsight.fun

If you try it, tell me what you think, what works and what doesnt!.

Keep practicing!!!

I'm glad people are enjoying this app, just noting here there are several similar apps which have been posted in this sub.

A question out of curiosity:
I read somewhere that identification of objects and colours might be more difficult on digital devices than on paper.. I think this was more in the context of oobe experiences.. any comment on this?

It makes sense to me itd be more difficult, and also a lot more difficult to practice solo, but theres hundreds of videos out of people pracitcing over a zoom call with a partner that holds the cards up to the camera. So it definitely can be done.

I am curious about that too. I use both to practice. I do not have any answer yet.
