Love this idea! I’d love to be able to include one photo a day.

In Vermont there’s a very popular social network called Front Porch Forum that collects posts and only issues them once a day, it seems like adding time delays and eliminating fast replies is a good circuit breaker to defuse toxicity.

If all are revealed on Sunday, and I have several hundred friends that would creates a overwhelming long feed right?

Yeah, it would. Most people add between 4 and 7 buddies. Only add people you really care about!

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.

To me the appeal of this product is that the intent seems more personal.

The types of interactions that you only want to share with a small crowd or a few friends.

All that goes out the window if you're just going to sell all my personal thoughts that you want me to share with my friends.

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,…

If you're going to reach out anyway, couldn't you call them without checking the feed? I guess I don't see how this is different than just unfollowing your Facebook friends and going to look at their profiles on Sunday.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Brilliant idea! Can you say a few words about how you will protect user data? (What I really want is I want every developer of any such app tied to the mast like Odysseus because we've seen what the sirens song of growth based investments from venture capital funds can do even to nice and smart people line the WhatsApp founders ;-)

We have thought about monetizing down the line, but on principle I’m completely opposed to any model re ads/user data. We’d treat it like a tool you pay a one off price for. Data privacy is something we can be more explicit about (thank you for highlighting this - will work on it). Re developers, it’s just my husband and I at the moment, and we’re just building it because we want it to exist. If you want to email me…

The privacy policy you have currently does not mention what you do with the content that users share with each other.

Do you provide this information to third parties?

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.

Agree it’s likely a legal template but it’s a bit like bringing a dead canary into a coal mine - normally there might be a warning that there’s a gas leak but now there definitely will not be
