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.

I like the idea, but without privacy I would never share my thoughts and feelings in social network. Even though I find a important psychological point is missed in the concept.

On behalf of a psychological viewpoint, every human tells 2 narratives. One to belong to a group, seeking an image he wants to be seen as, and, an inner one, reflecting on behaviours with utmost honesty to one self in order to mature\grow.

Sharing personal insights while knowing anyone could read your thoughts later on, twists your notes in a misleading direction, I find. This kept me from journaling 20 years in fear someone could neglect myself on behalf of my notes\points\feelings\ideas written down.

In this high speed, working environment today, we rarely take time to reflect, and when we do, taking notes, shouldn't be a privacy lost way to do that. --- Some months ago I started with 2 friends regular and self-honest check'ins. Every one does daily journaling for him\herself and only presents insights about themselves, not to proof anything to the group, nor getting something out, bit to have the courage to speak out to oneselfs with courage what new viewpoint has been gathered lately on one selfs behaviour.

Start that with that. Pick beloved ones nearby, ask them if they are interested in having such an interview, encouraging oneself and others and you start maturing (I find myself). No online social network needed.

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.

I believe it's Saturday to Wednesday, with Thu & Fri as the weekend days.

Not sure about that. I've been in a lot of Middle East countries and they were Sunday to Thurs.

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?

No.

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.

People mostly post junk (or nothing) on Facebook.

Having used Sundayy for a few months with friends and family the quality of content is much higher, I believe this is because it encourages you to keep a much smaller and intentional list of buddies. It also doesn’t require you to keep your Facebook account.

I think they mean that they're hidden until the next Sunday after they were posted.

That’s right! Every Sundayy you can read everyone’s reflections on that day only. Then they are gone forever. It’s very whimsical :)

So there’s no option to save your reflections as an ongoing journal? That was one of my motivations for installing the app today.
