Show HN: ADHD STASH. A curated collection of ADHD friendly products and services

Over the past few years I've struggled to find good/trusted resources for things that might be useful to those with ADHD.

Common issues with other sites were:

* Very limited options and/or info, or products that weren't actually useful.

* Blog post or news articles like "top 10 things to help with your ADHD" often had limited info or didn't have enough context to be useful.

* Unclear if some authors had ADHD or experience with ADHD. In some cases you could tell a random writer got assigned this post to write, but had no idea what ADHD is really like.

* Walls of text or cluttered/overwhelming design, meaning that the content was too hard to read and/or the site made me anxious (after which I bounced).

As a result, I created ADHD STASH, where I've tried to:

* Limit content length and complexity, while sharing key info * Use design that feels friendly and fun * Give people the option to find products/services based on use case or problem areas * Only recommend products where I own them and have tried them for a significant period.

Questions/Feedback

Any constructive feedback is welcome, especially from people who have ADHD!

In particular, it would be great to get real world feedback to help me validate/invalidate my hypothesis that the design/content is ADHD friendly and if the latter, what I could improve upon.

P.S. Since I bought all these products to test out of my own pocket and that I use Apple ecosystem devices, it's only natural that some of the options listed are Apple centric. That being said, I'm saving up to get some more Google/Windows related devices to test!

P.P.S. Some affiliate links for the US are a bit fiddly (aka, showing search results instead of products, even when something is in stock), but I'm trying to fix that atm.
