Everything here is community-built. Pick your lane — they all end up in the same place: the ideas board.
Not a whole idea, just an honest reaction to the site? Give feedback instead — ninety seconds, and you can stay anonymous.

The two-minute path
- Create a free GitHub account (email + username, ~60 seconds).
- Open the idea form and describe your idea — content, a feature, a question, a provocation. Plain language is perfect.
- Hit Submit new issue. Your idea appears on the board within seconds.
- Vote for ideas you’d endorse: open any card and click the 👍 reaction under the description. Comment to shape it.
Stuck on wording? Say what gets better and for whom — “due to… we believe that… will result in…”. The principles are the guardrail we use for shaping outcomes here.

Build it yourself
- Fork bettergoals/bettergoals and open a pull request — every PR gets an automatic preview deployment.
- Contribute a downloadable skill: add a markdown file to
public/skills/and it appears on the Skills page. - Propose changes to the principles by editing
PRINCIPLES.md. - Go big: suggest and build an integration — e.g. an ElevenLabs voice agent that coaches goal-writing while sketching on a live chalkboard for group jam sessions. Pitch it as an idea first so the group can endorse it.
Before you post
Respect IP, give credit
One guardrail applies to every lane above — whether you’re at a hackathon table or opening a pull request from home.
- Share only what’s yours to shareNo client material, confidential examples, or licensed content you don’t hold the rights to. Describe the thinking in your own words instead.
- Name what you build onCredit the person, book, framework, or repo behind the idea, and link the source where you can.
- Everything here is publicIdeas, comments, and code are discussed in the open, may be reused by the community, are read by Claude Code as it builds, and ship to a public site.
Not sure you have the right to share something? Ask in the issue before you post it — the full wording lives in principle 8.
What happens when an idea is endorsed?
When the group endorses an idea (3+ 👍) and a maintainer moves it to Doing (by adding the doing label), Claude Code picks it up automatically: it reads the issue, builds the feature into this site, and opens a pull request with a preview link posted back on the issue. The community reviews the preview together — and merging ships it to production at bettergoals.ai. Humans endorse; AI accelerates; humans ship.
And if an idea turns out to be the wrong thing to build — even after it has reached Doing — it can be moved to Cancelled. Stopping work is a legitimate outcome, and cancelled ideas stay visible on the board so the reasoning stays in the open.
