We would love to hear your ideas. If you have thought I wish the app could do this, please tell us. There is a good chance someone else has thought the same, and your message helps us know what matters most.
Where to send your idea
Write to help@migraineme.app and put the word Suggestion somewhere in the message. That is all we need to route it to the right place.
You do not need to be technical, polished, or apologetic. I wish the app would beep when I have not logged a migraine in a while is a perfectly good suggestion.
What to include
A few helpful things, if you can:
- What you would like the app to do. A sentence or two is enough.
- Why it would help you. This is often the most useful part. My memory is not what it was and I forget to log tells us more than a long technical description.
- An example of when you would use it. For instance, When my husband and I are away from home.
Please do not worry about whether your idea is original or sensible. Send it.
How features get prioritised
We get a lot of suggestions. We cannot build everything, much as we would love to. Here is roughly how we decide what to take on next:
- How many people are asking for it. If we get a lot of emails asking for the same thing, that is a strong signal.
- How much it would help the people who ask. A small change that makes a big difference for many people moves up the list.
- How difficult it is to build. Some things are quick. Others would take months.
- Whether it fits the spirit of the app. MigraineMe is designed to be calm, clear, and trustworthy. Anything that pulls against that is unlikely to make it in.
We try to balance these. We do not always get it right, but we try.
Things we are unlikely to add
Just to be honest:
- Adverts in the app. We will not do this.
- Anything that puts your data at risk. Your health information is yours.
- Diagnosis or medical advice. We are a tracking tool, not a doctor.
How to write the email
If you are not sure how to start, here is a simple template. You can copy it word for word.
Hello MigraineMe team, I have an idea for the app. What I would like: say what you would like the app to do. Why it would help me: say how it would make your life better. Thank you, and your name.
Thank you
Every idea helps us understand what migraine sufferers really need. Even ideas we do not build often spark other ideas that we do. Please keep them coming.
