Really like this so far. Interested to see what you can do with this data. What's next?

@dillon_carter A lot in the pipeline, stay tuned via Twitter @fabric_app, our Medium blog https://medium.com/@fabric.me/in..., or Facebok page https://www.facebook.com/fabrica...
Gives me the feels of entering a time machine. The last time I felt these feels was when I downloaded Path years ago. I'm a pretty religious Swarm user and I can see how Fabric may replace the space in my life that Swarm currently occupies. I have very few apps on my phone, but this one might be a keeper.
@cindywu Thanks! Giving you the feels is certainly something we strive to do.
Interesting, reminds me of Firef.ly -- https://firef.ly/ -- looking forward to using it.
To be honest the idea is cool but I doubt this would really catch on. This is basically a pimped up version of Google Maps Timeline where you can see your movements on the map. The map timeline has been there for a while and the only use I have for it so far is if I've forgot my phone somewhere or someone would steel it (hasn't happened yet). Adding friends and photos to this would at most be "funny" to look at a couple of times but you wouldn't use this type of service often I think. But it would be interesting to hear from the makers what value this adds and how initial users are using it?
@jain_ankit good luck with the product. We played with lots of various things here. Ultimately was not interesting for most people. After collecting several centuries of data people basically go to work/school then home. There is a 49% probability the next place a person will go is home. This people quickly got board. Seeing your friends as work home zombies was not great. Happy to share everything we learned in person and good luck.
This is pretty cool!
Does it show things like Timehop - 'This day last year you did this' ?? that would be cool.
I think products like this will become more and more popular. I watch vlogs but wouldnt dream of doing one myself. Not even a private one, its a bit weird and not a natural thing for me. But I love the fact these people have all this footage and information to look back on with what they were doing, who with etc.
An app like this could be something I could really find useful and hit the spot of documenting my life (the interesting bits anyway), without me having to do all that much!
[EDIT} - love the onboarding too. so smooth. As I am allowing pretty much everything - photos etc to be pulled in.... I'm assuming this is all private and secure unless I choose to share?
Would be cool to have a daily (weekly/customisable) reminder to 'edit' my day - if my mates have sent 30 photos in whatsapp, I dont want them being pulled into my daily story haha
@bentossell
No comment yet, but we may have something to show soon :).
Re: onboarding, we have Sophie Xie (@puffins) to thank for that. We're glad you like it.
@bentossell I agree with Ben! I think either a Timehop integration or product clone would help bring past memories to the forefront. With the amount of notifications we get on a daily basis, I believe users will need a little push to continually look past and reminisce.
Something like this will really help me find the moments and people I'm happier around.
I always wanted to write a daily journal entry but never had the time. This solves that problem.
I love their tagline: " The story of your life that writes itself."
It works in the background and journals my daily locations (I think using FourSquare's database) and overlays photos, instagram / fb feed as well as colocations with my friends.
The current product is interesting, the real fun will happen when I can re-live the past through the lens of time, location or people I was with. Pretty neat.
@danflopes @jain_ankit
That's like a dream of mine. I would love to go to, say, the house where I grew up, and be able to turn a dial and watch my sister take her first steps, her first day in school, her first dance performance. In time, in time :)
Hey guys, a pretty late update to this thread. Check out our latest version: https://www.producthunt.com/post...
We've added moment editing, collaboration, and a personal search engine. Would love your feedback!
This has similarities to Heyday 2.0 (cc @blader) and Steven (cc @abdur), both of which didn't work out.
@arunv30 + @nikolayav, I installed this yesterday so I'll need a few days of data to see what it's like but what use cases are you imagining?
@rrhoover @blader @abdur @nikolayav
I really liked Heyday! Would love to chat with @blader and @abdur.
We've tried to address some of what we thought they were missing. (Actually very much like what we were missing in our initial tests). We try to show as much history on day one as possible, and try to keep it engaging going forward.
@arunv30 @rrhoover @blader @abdur @nikolayav I'd say my core question comes down to what real "problem" is this solving, and for who? Will someone let it run in the background for weeks, months, or years -- with the "hope" that they get value out of it in the future?
@rrhoover Had the same thought. I like some of the lifelogging apps out there, but I haven't seen one that I'd pay for or that I can see earning much revenue...except maybe Swarm/Foursquare. Moves was another decent one...Now Google Maps & Photos do most of these functions for me really well.
