The tips used to appear on the Habitica loading page like this
A helpful tip used to appear while the Habitica website loaded. This feature was added to give players something to read while loading occurred, since loading used to take several seconds. However, currently the website loads more quickly, so the tips have been removed since April 2020.
The tips are listed below. They are still accurate and useful, so players may wish to browse through the list.
