Anyone interested in (lucid) dreaming? I've got a side/passion project that I've been working on for... quite a while. It's called https://oneironotes.com and it's a dream journal app for (lucid) dreamers. Think Evernote (or well, that's a bit old now... let's say Notion or Bear or Standard Notes... so, a note-taking app) specifically for "oneironauts". Currently there's a pilot version as a PWA available for a lifet…

As a fellow dreamer, cool project! I’ll have to look more into it. However, I’ve been dying to ask another developer/dreamer, what are your thoughts on a video game that trains your brain to do reality checks?

Hey, thanks! I think a "lucid dreaming-based" video game would be really awesome. I'm pretty sure there are already indie projects like this actually, but I haven't tried them yet.

So it would be fun, but for actual LD training... I'm not convinced. I don't think it's sufficient. Just training yourself to do reality checks often is not enough. I've had countless dreams in which I mindlessly did an RC and then went about my dream business just as non-lucidly.

It could be a training aid though. Games as a form of interactive storytelling could help grow the player's metacognition / critical self-reflection, which might lead to more lucidity. And there have been some studies that show video games can help with LD induction (example [0])

If you decide to work on a dreaming-related project like that, definitely send me a message :)

Howdy - I may be too early to post here as I'm really more interested in a thought partner who has the potential to become a cofounder in ~1yr+ if we decide to launch something. My background is mainly in sales and growth (early at Gigster, ran a venture for Rocket Internet in Berlin, ran a team for the Estonian govt's e-Residency project, Fellow for NYC CTO's Office). I'm really interested in tech in the government…

I'm working on a site called textmyapi.com (site's not up yet). It's a little SaaS platform that allows you to quickly define commands that can be sent over text messaging to invoke REST APIs. I got the idea when I was out camping and wanted to get some stats from an API that I had but I didn't have great internet connectivity, so I thought it would be fun to wire up my APIs so that I could hit them via text message…

Hi rcurry, loved your idea and wanted to help you. I have already send to an email.

Looking for mental sparring partner. I have opinions on what the future looks like. I'd like to hear yours and see if there is overlap in our opinion of interesting customer segments and problem domains we could tackle together Professionally, I am in leadership on the business side of a AI/ML start up.

I'm working on an information security and intelligence startup (name TBD) and am looking for a potential co-founder or early stage team member. Primarily US-based, but everyone is and will likely forever be fully remote. It's in the very early stages and is not yet incorporated. We're still evaluating different possible business models, but a significant aspect will likely involve attempting to combat certain kinds…

It's very broad description find it hard to know what are you exactly looking for

Hi!

Am Raaghavv, and am looking for a technical co-founder for my company Starcast.com. We are in talks to receive seedfunding from a top tier VC fund, and so this post couldn't have revived at a better time for us.

Am based b/w Mumbai & Bangalore, India, and am building a marketplace/network ala airbnb/angelist for the media & entertainment industry which is currently to begin with focused on acting talent finding opportunities & resources.

Following the do-things-that-don't-scale approach, I dropped out of an active acting career to start an talent management agency where I personally represent and manage other acting talent (pitching, negotiations, coordination), thanks to which I now have even more credibility and networks across all verticals in the industry (casting, production, direction, PR), as well as profitability based on our commission model.

Am looking for a technical rockstar who can benefit from my domain expertise and networks to help build a management software for actors as a starting point, as most actors in India are unrepresented until they become famous. This would track project information, dates, monies, contacts, and so on, and gradually we can add service providers and other members of the industry to create accounts and build workflows, micro tools and tech enabled services to create a sticky ecosystem which makes day-to-day functioning of the industry, which is currently run a bit ad-hoc, more streamlined, organised and systemised.

Please write to me at raaghavvchanana@starcast.com, and we can schedule a time to zoom and take this conversation further.
