Hey Product Hunters - how are you, are you winning? #DesignBuildLaunch24 - this was where the story for Glory Morning began. ⏮️ Rewind back a few weeks, I put myself up to a personal challenge. A challenge that pushes the boundaries of my creativity, processes, and efficiency (#OCD). But, also a challenge that pours fuel directly into my passion to design and build digital products. 💡 So, what product do I build? I spend hour chewing on this question. Going through my "idea notepad", reviewing what I'd scribbled down in the past. But nothing really had a purpose for me, or others alike. Then it came to me one evening. Our youngest had just dropped off to sleep, while the idea dropped on me. 🧩 It's purpose? I spend most of time working solo from my home office, which isn't always party poppers and unicorn cupcakes. I’ve seen and experienced how hard and isolating it can become. It's a physical and mental rollercoaster for your health. You can quickly become trapped in an isolated bubble of: eat, sleep, work, kids, repeat. I’ve ALSO seen and experienced how de-motivating and 'on the back burner' it can be to keep at a new hobby when you’re not surrounded by like-minded people. "The people you surround yourself with influence your behaviours, so choose friends who have healthy habits" - Dan Buettner And that is where Glory Morning will slot into place. A welcoming and vibrant community of like-minded people, who want to meet someone new every single morning. Connect through passions, hobbies, and professions with others you might never meet elsewhere, all from your inbox. Start your day inspired. Your feedback is very valuable to me. I see an exciting opportunity for a diverse audience with Glory Morning. Connecting directly with like-minded people, all right from your inbox. Thank you for your support (and making it this far) 🙌 I look forward to seeing you join our community on Launch Day 🥳 (As this started out as a self challenge, I did in fact recorded the whole design and build process as a time-lapse. I'll share this once it has been edited.)

Hey @vit_aver. I feel that the “inspiration spark” may have started from the back end of COVID. I spend most of my time working solo from my home office. Yes, I work with clients, but I don’t get those opportunities to meet and have conversations with new people as I would on a work commute. And so I’ve seen and experienced how hard and isolating it can become. It can become a physical and mental rollercoaster for your health. You can quickly feel trapped in an isolated bubble of: eat, sleep, work, repeat. I’ve also seen and experienced how de-motivating and 'on the back burner' it can be to keep at a new hobby when you’re not surrounded by like-minded people. For example, I wanted to learn kiteboarding. Yes, I had lessons many years ago but, since I haven’t done it nearly enough as I should or WANT to. And I know this is mainly due to family commitments and not having that push and inspiration around me from a like-minded community. *I also live an hour and a half from the coast, which doesn’t help. THAT is where Glory Morning will help.

love the idea of such community, congrats with the launch! Could I opt to receive emails just twice a week instead of daily? Also, is there a specific form I need to complete to begin using the platform and meet the right people for me?

Hey @r_martirosyan, thanks for your comment. Definitely! When we launch account/settings access for users in the near future, we will have the ability to change trigger settings for locations, frequency, and more. So, if users think every morning is to much, that is totally fine. We're open to your feedback, so keep the good stuff coming 😉
