#2Hey everyone - we're working on Hmsklt.app to help friends form deeper relationships and more authentic connection.
- Join a small group of friends for a 7-day "bonfire" centered around a theme like Daily Gratitudes, Small Moments in Your Day, Weird Fun Stories, Self Love, Childhood Memories, or Highlights + Lowlights.
- Each day, the group will get a prompt to respond with short videos — a chance to reflect on the topics and small moments that you wouldn’t normally ask about. After the 7 days, you can choose to have the videos disappear or save them to celebrate your friendships.
We want to make it less awkward to be vulnerable and build authentic connections with the people who matter to you. No influencers, no posing, no filters -- just sharing small moments and good stories with your friends.
It sucks to be connected to thousands of people on social media but still feel so lonely. Having been personally affected by loneliness and mental health, we wanted to build tools to boost mental wellness that are less intense than therapy/medication.
We're currently in private beta and would really appreciate any feedback to help us make the app a warm and supportive experience.

The product seems interesting, but I'm not a sharer on social media.

Agreed. This product will live or die on word of mouth, and right now I wouldn't know how to talk about it with someone else.

Hey!
How does the beta access work? Shouldn't I be able to join together with my friends in the Beta?

#61. All the titles on the homepage do word-wrapping after each letter. Resize the width on a computer to see it.
2. Are those prompts generated by you? I'd be put off by too many challenges like "daily gratitudes" or such self improvement trendy hoopla.

#7I love the spirit, but in all honesty, this is one of those instances where you don't need an app for that.
The best ways to build deeper connections with friends don't involve a screen.

Hey! If you sign up for the email list, we'll send you a TestFlight beta link for the app and you can invite your friends from within the app.

I think there’s something to be said for having an item to center a ritual around. Similar to the “talking stick” concept. Gives people an excuse to share, which can otherwise be hard to find.
Also - great idea while in lockdown.

Really. There are things the little distraction box in my pocket are not good for.
My initial thought, though, was who keeps these logs of discussions and "go one level deeper" conversations, and what do they do with them?
