Why I audited Flourish through a neuro-inclusive lens.
Flourish is a mental wellbeing app. But decoration was drowning function, creating cognitive strain for users who need simplicity most.
I audited 14 screens and found 6 critical issues:
20+ emotion labels → Reduced to 6-8 visual options
Unexplained "Flourish Score" → Added plain language explanations
Mascot pushes check-in below fold → Prioritized function over decoration
Premature paywall → Delayed until users feel value
Mystery features with judgmental icons → Added context, removed guilt
Enterprise questions in personal onboarding → Removed
The principle: When your user is struggling, every pixel counts.
