@torbahax I was chatting with someone about a related topic recently. Technology is often perceived as this sterile, inhuman influence on our culture but in reality it brings us together and arguably more empathetic. Jelly, Kindly, Secret, Whisper, and PSTMRK come to mind.

@jasonyogeshshah@rrhoover@torbahax It certainly changes the dynamic and one's whole perspective of a service when you realize a human is putting in their time to help you. Path Talk Placesfor instance has been really helpful to me lately and I think I appreciate it even more knowing there is another human handling my request, even if it's a call center. With my app, Kindly, people are looking out for each other every day, it's pretty inspiring.
I have always wanted something like this - a sort of IFTTT for non-structured data. It would be cool at scale where alerts could be powered by the user base and no pricing was necessary. Imagine users could submit requests for alerts and the community could submit answers. If an answer gets up-voted above threshold it would then get pushed out to the followers of the alert.
@7ewis@bracco I think community driven alerts could work if we can build strong, kind, honest community - which I believe is a very very very difficult task.
Since the notification by the nature is quite precise and time sensitive, we do not want to take the risk - quality of the notification is highest importance for us right now.
@theforthwall Thanks! We are currently trying really hard to fulfill each and every request. From seeing quite a few requests so far, I'm noticing a lot of geographical requests(personally interest in X), mentions of their Y on big media outlets / social sites, and interestingly, bl0wj0bs. ;-)
