When I first moved to San Francisco from Colorado, I wanted find other people in SF that had been to Colorado so I'd feel understood and have a strong connection with the new people I was meeting. Later I wanted to find people in SF that had done some of my favorite things like skied Tahoe, biked Marin, hiked Yosemite, or been to SXSW, but there was no way to find these people, and that's why I decided to build Journey.
Then I met Gus Kenworthy and we really connected around this problem. Having traveled the world as an Olympian and professional skier it's been next to impossible for him to find other people that have experienced some of the amazing places he has, or understood the places that have made him who he is. As a result he really understood the user and the problem, and had a lot to add to our team and vision.
This is our humble start to what we think will be a fundamental shift in how we connect with new people online, by using quantified data as the basis for connections such as where we go "outdoors" and what we do there, rather than arbitrary statements such as "I like the outdoors". We'd love feedback on how to make onboarding easier, as we want to make it as easy as possible for users to get their favorite experiences into the app.
I love the app look and the concept - but after completing the 18 step (!?) setup it's taking me right back to "Create a Profile". Do I have to wait 24 hours while you churn through 8 years of Facebook photos?
@jamiewildehk Thanks for the comment. Early users wanted a walk through/tutorial when they first downloaded the app thus the steps (you can also skip the tutorial if you'd like to go straight to your profile). I'm not sure why your app is going straight back to profile, but if you exit the app and go back into it, it should take you straight to your profile. You should have some of your profile created, and we'll send you a push notification as soon as the facebook photos have been processed into the profile. Please do let me know if you have any other issues.
@yoavanaki thats great feedback! We'll be sure to get on this shortly. Unfortunately its been a mad rush to get the app itself ready so most of our team's resources are being allocated there at the moment. We should definitely make the landing page more clear though, thanks again for letting us know and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any other issues or suggestions.
