I tried it out for a bit and I think it's generally pleasant. Some thoughts: - The cleanliness and whitespace make it feel like information's been lost compared to the previous ver…

For anybody who comes into this thread in the future, I've closed off public signups for the iOS beta. I've hit a critical mass of testers and want to make sure the app isn't overr…

It's coming soon! Blocked by me getting my hands on an android device to test with. Sorry for the trouble if you were hoping to try it out. If you're interested, you can join the s…

Thanks for catching that! Fixed it up.

Thank you! My impression is that my use of Flutter has been successful (especially in an iOS build) because of my heavy use of custom-designed components. There are packages built …

Thank you for the praise for the design :) My path to using flutter was that I wanted to use SwiftUI because of its native-ness, but found it was too buggy. I know react native wel…

Thank for you trying the app out! On your first point: scroll down on your mailbox screen to see a history of what you've opened up! Sorry about that. It's a poor design decision o…

Thank you for the praise for the design!

Hey! For now I have it locked to portrait orientation and no official support for iPad. Very sorry for the trouble with this — it does sound annoying. I'll look into enabling iPad-…

Not at all arguing that this is novel or innovative — rather my own take on the genre. I'd argue that some aspects of the system incentivize better behavior: - It'll be a purchased…

Thanks for the info! I guess it also only happens if you have some VR device setup. Sorry for the trouble with that. I'll swap out the vimeo embed soon since that sounds like annoy…

That's... unusual and concerning. You're talking about the gentle.app site, not the testflight link, right? The only thing I could think of to cause that is the embedded vimeo ifra…

Thank you! I'm really happy you tried it out

Hey! It's a Flutter application, so I'm using their concept of Hero animations [1]. It renders a new component (the flight shuttle?) that does the visual animation. [1] https://flu…

Thank you and that's amazing! It's great that you're really embracing the attitude of thinking about this other person and trying to empathize.

I think there's better scaffolding/explaining to do with content guidelines and expectations, but the general idea is that content that causes concern like this should be reported.…

Thank you! I appreciate the praise. If you have any feedback or suggestions, feel free to share~

I hear you. I've turned off all the analytics I can with firebase, but if you don't trust Firebase/Google, I'm happy to recommend avoiding this app. Checkout my privacy policy (and…

Thank you! I appreciate the praise

Thank you! I'm a bit wary of giving big hints to how the filters work, but I was inspired by: - npm packages like redact-pii, bad-words (and numerous other "bad word" lists) - aski…

Yeah! My main email for gentle-related stuff is andrew@gentle.app Feel free to reach out and connect.

Thank you!

I know, right? It's definitely a quirky vibe

If you're looking for a more gamey-version of this concept, check out Kind Words . I'm a big fan of it!

Thanks for sharing! That's super cool and very similar in concept.
