I built an app like this & raised a respectable pre-seed round for it. tl;dr journaling types were into it, but already had a journaling process. Regular people would use it for a week or so & then stop. tbh (app) had flash-in-the-pan success with the concept, but did it via simple one-tap survey. Might be a tbh 2.0 approach here.


Amazing comment, this is wild. Thank you for sharing this!


This feels like it would be an amazing concept for a RTS or turn-based strategy game.


Check out Startopia.


Super excited to try this out. I've been hoping for a tool in this space for awhile.


Shoot us a message if we can help in any way! Happy to build out a sample workflow or proof of concept, all we need is a description of what is involved in a process of your choice.


The real Jedi move


Especially if you charge for it, which would save them money, because they wouldn't have to redo their code every time you changed your website.


Love that game idea

Stories are nearly equal in convincing someone to believe you. Just look at US Politics right now to see that we live in a post-truth society that strongly values narrative.


so... you made my point for me? "Stories are convincing even if they're entirely baseless"? They convince those who don't care about whether something is true, and so... we should roll with that?

How is that an acceptable attitude?

No, stories are stories, they're the thing snake oil sellers sell the masses in order to sell their snake oil: put them to the test. If their story is a good story: write it down and then go "cool, so what whether this actually has any merit, or truth?".

This isn't Orwell's 1984, just because people like something doesn't mean it's even remotely trustworthy. Let alone pandering to.


Tell that to the species we've eradicated while pursuing our goals.


Exactly. Consider the prevalence of wolves vs. dogs.


Love that quote: "If ever we meet aliens they'll be cavemen or gods."
