Hey all, A year ago I deleted Facebook and Instagram from my phone. I didn’t like the attention hijacking, or the never-ending feed surfing, or how they made me feel. Looked around for a more minimalist platform I could use to stay connected to family and friends. Couldn’t find one, so started building one. Sundayy is a social network centered around mindful reflection. It is designed to be checked just once a week,…

Interesting idea.

But worth remembering. A huge chunk of the world works on Sunday. E.g Middle East has its week days Sunday to Thursday.

Amazing idea & execution! I'm running a self reflection journal app (https://mindhappy.page.link/app) and had been thinking about building something like this for couples. Glad to see it already exists now :)

Beautiful idea, app, and page, but from the Privacy Policy:

>We may share Your personal information in the following situations: With Service Providers, For business transfers, With Affiliates, With business partners

I can't get down with that.

Yeah, that's not particularly great but isn't that what other social media networks do as well? Assuming you do use other social media.

Cool but iOS only so I'd call it an iOS app rather than a social network

Isn't that a bit like a craft tasty beer designed to be drank once a week?

Great idea. How do you plan to monetize?

I don’t see anything particularly wrong with that as long as their business model isn’t ad based. Plus, it’s their MVP, so it’s probably a legal template to protect themselves more than their actual intent.
