Sunshine - Distraction free social network.

by•

Sunshine is a social networking platform designed to not be distracting. The main feed only shows you 1 status at a time to help you concentrate, and once you interact with a post it is hidden to prevent you from scrolling through recycled content all day.

A little over a month ago I told my Twitter followers about an idea I had for a new social networking app (https://twitter.com/daltonedward...). I’ve been building It in my free time and it’s called Sunshine. In a digital world ruled by apps that draw us in Sunshine is designed to not be distracting. The main feed only shows 1 status at a time so that you can concentrate on the content in front of you, and once you interact with a status (like or skip it) it’s hidden from your feed so that you aren’t scrolling through recycled content all day. When composing a status you can pick a mood that will show across the site, this is all in an effort to make people more empathetic. If you see that a friend is upset you’re more likely to reach out to them with words of encouragement. Another thing Sunshine does is warn you before sending a potentially mean status update. This is a beta application and not completely done by any means. I’m inviting you to register during the beta and try out this application as it gets built in the open.

I joined Sunshine a week ago. I like how clutter-free it is! You either write a message or consume, one message at a time. No mindless browsing, you pay attention to what matters. Browsing messages like you would browse Tinder is an interesting UI choice that definitely helps with focus. I recommend!

This is really interesting! I found it a little hard to find the "register" btn in a desktop, maybe adding labels or giving the "register"a more first class treatment would help

@fgili0 thank you! 😁 I’ll keep that in mind and try to make registration easier to find 😆

Just started using it and had some thoughts: - Starting out with 0 followers and no status updates makes it a bit of a lonely experience. - Maybe a video on how to use the product? - White-on-light-blue is hard to see
