nicer terminology / user model than "failure" for unsuccessful poms? #20

Closed glyph closed 8 months ago

I do want the lack-of-success to sting a little, but only a little bit. I've gotten feedback from a few people that ADHDers who might like this app don't really need any negative self-talk in their lives.

One metaphor that occurs to me is "percent success"; we could also then define "success" in more nuanced terms; for example, partial credit for "focused but not complete" intents (#19)

given that we have already switched to "interrupted" / "distracted" rather than "failed", I think this is good enough. #33 was all about making the experience less negative around failure.
