A while back I got in the habit of watching YouTube during dinner. “During dinner” would often turn into hours after. I’ve never tried meth but I’d imagine YouTube isn’t too far off lmao. A few weeks ago I set a hard rule: no YouTube during the week. I save so much time, I feel

I write all my journal entries in a discord server and store them in a DB. So I can do cool stuff like see what I was doing on some day in history -- it feels like teleporting and gives me a birds eye view of my life.

Question for anyone who journals: what's your gut reaction to pseudo-anonymous public journaling to a small group of people? (using a pseudonym)

I have a public journaling discord group. The right audience loves it because it's therapeutic to pseudo-anonymously write honestly about your day. But writing takes effort and is not for everyone. I wonder if there's something that has a similar effect but lower effort barrier.

There are always four emotional stages I go through when I’m working on a project that I hope will get users:

It’s funny how ai image generation is so good now and can sketch anything in my wildest dreams, but I’ve become so numb to it that I hardly have an emotional response. But I do feel emotion when looking at most human made art. I wonder what the difference is. And will this be the

I have chatgpt write up a summary of everyone's week in my accountability group discord. The most common response is "I can't believe how much I got done this week!". We forget so much of our life, so reading a replay is a nice reminder of the progress you're making

The following three groups are most prominent in my public journaling app

Is there something in common among these people?

Here's what I'm building: You are anonymously placed in a group with 6 others. Everyone writes a daily reflection. You're put in a 1-1 private chat with someone writing about similar things. Anyone want to join??

Has anyone seen a useful AI Agent? I can't really think of a great use case. I don't want an AI to plan a trip to me, I don't want an AI to order ubereats for me. Partly because of trust and partly because I want to play a role in the decision

I feel a strong connection with those who share my birthday. Maybe it’s because I know both of us have had similar emotions on this one day for our whole life.
Also I think we view lots of events relative to our birthday, so we have a lot of emotional similarities from that

I’ve always tried to add some incentive for members to stay active in my accountability discord server. If you’re inactive for too long, you get removed from the group. This is to keep the groups dense with activity. I’ve been experimenting with different daily updates! People

2. The group is tiny. Nobody wants their voice to be lost in a sea of others'. It’s important to know that your goals and reflections are registered by others.

for a month now and at best it's low friction way to get a second opinion + autocorrect for repetitive functions or json objs. At worst it’s your little attention seeking brother interrupting you every 5 seconds with something that’s usually wrong.

Definitely, I guess it's like most things i.e. working out Unfortunately in the case of writing's effort barrier, we may miss out on massive long term benefits, like it being a time capsule of your feelings and experiences. Why did you start your server?

It’s not because of investor pressure, runway, internal drama, monetization, or any of those reasons.
The actual reason is a bit more personal.

The best function of AI images is one of utility not art. You can't expect people to appreciate an image generated by a computer like they would a normal image.

As the 3rd engineer at a small startup with 0.4% equity/150k I have this thought at least 10 times a day and it kills me thinking about it. But as much as I want more equity I have to admit I wasn’t the one risking leaving my job, raising money, starting from scratch — which is a

says if your startup doesn't have a certain growth rate after some period of time, you should move on to a new idea. But how do you know if you should move to a new idea vs move to different growth hacks?

Bird’s eye view of our progress. 🦅 Think about what you did last week. I’d bet you don’t remember 90% of the significant events. The group is sent a summary of our progress, and the majority of people can’t believe how much they get done!

3. Connection. We optionally match 1-1 throughout the week in private chats. Sometimes a lonely journey is best made full with the companionship of someone else on a lonely journey.
