The concept of a social network around dreams is compelling. Outside of private conversations with friends, we rarely, if ever, share these crazy/scandalous/funny/unusual stories.
I'm playing with it now.
@rrhoover The danger is that our own dreams are often much more compelling to ourselves than to others. I like that they use visuals and short description length to keep them more engaging (not sure if capped or an artifact of mobile text entry)
Reminds me of Secret, except on Secret, people pretend their dreams actually happened ;)
@rrhoover | We call ourselves a social utility, the utility being the Alarm Clock while the dreams drive the social. You call also think about us like a mirror, we want to help surface the dream data and show you the patterns in your sub conscious mind. Let's say last night you dreamt about a RocketShip, we want to tell you this is the 4 time you dream about a RocketShip and here are 158 other people who also dream about a RocketShip last night.
@hunterleesoik Thanks for coming on to discuss! Can't wait for more sleep tracker features you said are coming soon (using the data I give the app when I "slide to sleep" and "slide to wake"? other signals?)
Hope this is helpful: the alarm function doesn't work for me at the moment. I tried it last night with the default iOS alarm as a backup 10 minutes later. The iOS alarm woke me up. Shadow was just popping up notifications, but making no sound. Also, the alarm page also crashed 3 times for me, and the sample alarm sound (when choosing which one you want to play in settings) didn't stop until I closed the app :) Happy to provide more info off-thread.
@staringispolite@eriktorenberg note that they ask for your full name, not a pseudonym (although you could use one) or full anonymity. I'm sure the team thought very carefully about this decision to encourage people to use their identity. I'd like to hear more about their reasoning.
@rrhoover Agreed, and I think that's an important decision I'd like to hear more about as well. I can't speak for Erik, but I was just imagining an anonymous version.
@rrhoover | we need your name to add you to the provisional profile, it's not our goal to map individuals dreams. Our goal is to create a tool or mirror for the user to understand themselves through dream patterns.
I wrote one of the first articles on Hunter + Shadow (http://www.forbes.com/sites/alex...). Saw an early early version last year- it is awesome. Beautifully designed.
