Invisible Rules

The "Invisible Rules" of society were harder to debug than my code.
I spent months dive-deep into creative coding, mastering Three.js and perfecting animations. I thought that if my code was clean, everything else would follow.
I was wrong.
I realized that whether it’s in a corporate office, a social gathering, or a personal relationship, there’s an entire set of unwritten rules that define who succeeds. These aren't taught in university or bootcamps, yet they are the "operating system" of our world.
So, I decided to build a tool to map them: Invisible Rules.
What is it?
Invisible Rules is an app designed to help users track and navigate the social and professional dynamics that are usually left unsaid.
Productivity meets Social Intelligence: It’s not just a to-do list; it’s a repository for the logic of real-world interactions.
Built for Growth: It focuses on career goals, social etiquette, and personal development.
The Tech & Design 🛠️
As someone passionate about Creative Coding, I didn't want this to be just another "boring" productivity app. I’m focusing on:
Visualizing Logic: Using my background in frontend (and a bit of that Three.js/WebGL magic) to make data feel intuitive.
Focused UX: A minimalist interface that keeps the focus on the "rule" and its application.
I need your "Code Review" (The Feedback part)
I’m currently in the stage where I need fresh eyes. Since this community is full of builders, I’d love your take on:
The Concept: Does a "manual for unwritten rules" sound like something you’d use?
UX/UI: For an app about "Invisible Rules," should the design be hyper-minimalist or more gamified?
The Logic: If you were to add one "unwritten rule" about the tech industry, what would it be?
