What people do today

πŸ”§ Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A diagnostic tool for the app that captures crash logs and sends them directly to developers when a freeze occurs.
  2. A web-based fallback interface that allows users to continue therapy sessions if the mobile app becomes unresponsive.
  3. A dedicated status dashboard for users to check if specific app features like messaging are currently experiencing known outages.
  4. Develop a browser-based diagnostic tool that tests connection stability specifically for the Talkspace video platform before a session starts.
  5. Implement a fallback mechanism that automatically switches to a lower-bandwidth video codec or audio-only mode when packet loss is detected.
