This is a very nicely executed app. What is the revenue model?


Cool list! I hope yc will also fund creative consumer companies. Ways to have fun, enjoy life, build healthy habits, cherish memories, dream about the future, and deepen relationships with friends. This is 100% selfish - I want more fun and meaningful products to use.


I was going to say... All so serious and grownup and utilitarian. Whatever happened to 'the next big thing will start as a toy'?


Maybe it's more difficult to make a "request for startup" because it's more difficult to see what's "broken" in the consumer space?


What service was used to create the Ai voice? It's one of the first I've heard that sounds pleasant and life like.


I believe it was done with OpenAI TTS


Yup, I just used the default demo of their TTS to convert the article one chunk at a time so I could listen while I swapped some RAM around. https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/text-to-speech


Hi, I'm working on How We Feel. I'm eager to make it more useful. If there is anyone on this thread interested in helping, please send a note to ben@howwefeel.org.

So far, I've learned that the biggest benefit of mood tracking is the process of tracking: taking a moment to reflect on how you feel, name the emotion, and think about why you feel the way you do. The next big opportunity is to teach people effective strategies for dealing with their emotions in a healthy way (even if that just means accepting the emotion without judgement).

As an aside, I also loved my Pebble and physical buttons :D


Hey thanks for work on the app! Is there any possibility of translating the app to different languages? I can drop a note to email if you want, since as I understand you are based on Yale's Mood Meter - https://moodmeterapp.com/science/ - it might have some more or less official translations in some languages.


Yes, we will do translations in the future!


I recently discovered How We Feel so I just wanted to thank you for your work. I really enjoy using the app!

I found a small bug in the analyze tab though. If you look at e.g. weekly and select a tab that is not the left most one, then scroll down, then tap the top of the display (the universal scroll to the top feature of iOS), the content disappears.


Thanks for finding this bug. We'll get it fixed soon.


I'm excited about this. Kevin and Mikey are 2 of the most talented product builders out there. And, I miss having a really great go-to news reader app.


I really admire the ambition of this product. I've noticed how much I use the internet as a "second brain". Being able to quickly get back to things would improve my life.

The UI also looks very good for a first version. Excited to give this a try!


For landing pages, I'd recommend Google Website Optimizer. It's a pretty sophisticated multivariate testing tool. https://www.google.com/analytics/siteopt/splash?hl=en


I might consider changing the name to something more direct - for example, wikiautolinks, or wikilinkster, or wikilinkr, or wikiglue


I'm excited about drop box. Congratulations guys!


That's it. I'm leaving rescue time to use 8aWeek.

Just kidding. I agree with you - conversely, a complete lack of competition is probably a bad sign.
