##FAQ
###What is habit tracking?
See Trackers vs Lifehackers for a description and more habit tracking examples.
###This is confusing
If you played RPGs (Role Playing Games) growing up, this app will make sense to you; otherwise, it might be overwhelming at first. Be sure to follow the tutorial when you first load the website. If it's still not your cup of tea, checkout Trackers vs Lifehackers for alternatives.
###How do I heal?
After you play for a while you unlock the Item Store from which you can buy health potions. Also, HP resets upon leveling up (of course!).
###All my tasks are red, I'm dying too fast
Good! Your red tasks provide the most incentive. The worse you are at a task, the more valuable it becomes in Exp & GP, which will push you to focus on the harder tasks. However, if you really need a bail-out, you can "Re-Roll" from the item store for $1, which resets all your tasks to a clean slate. It costs real money to prevent you from abusing it.
###How do I log in / save my data?
HabitRPG is built on DerbyJS, which doesn't yet support authentication. As soon as EveryAuth becomes available to Derby, I'll implement it - that and the other network integration aspects on the roadmap. You can follow the progress here.
In the meantime, a workaround has been built to use a private url, similar to Workflowy's shared lists, which you can use to access your account from multiple computers. Click the top-right profile button and bookmark the URL it provides.
