I discussed a nascent idea for a new social‑media platform that is deliberately designed to be thoughtful and serve purposes beyond the dominant focus on news and entertainment. The conversation was exploratory, aiming to surface the core problem I want to address before committing to a concrete product plan.
I decided to aim for a comprehensive, thoughtfully designed social media platform rather than a niche app, because I want a service that serves broader or different social needs beyond the dominant news/entertainment focus.
- Open question: What specific flaw in today’s social media does I want to address?
- Open question: What target audience or use‑case will the new platform prioritize?
- Open question: How will “well thought” be operationalized in design and governance?
- Open question: What metrics will define success beyond traditional news/entertainment engagement?
