Startups are hard. We get in a funk sometimes. Made something to help

Hey HN, Been a lurker here for a while, and have a learnt a great deal from doing so. I don’t post much but I’ve found a great deal of comfort and motivation just reading what others go through when trying to start a business (which we all know is damn hard!). So today I wanted to say thanks and share something which will hopefully make you smile, feel motivated and inspired as you go through the journey of building your own business. As a founder of 2 startups - one slightly successful, one not successful at all - I’ve had a lot of ups and downs…sometimes felt downright miserable. We all get in a funk sometimes, and I found one of the things that helped me, aside from lurking on this sub, was to go read a bunch of inspirational/motivational quotes. Might sound cheesy, but it really helped get me into the right frame of mind each day. So as a side project, my friend and I set up a little text-based service that we’re calling “Happi”. Instead of you having to search for inspirational/motivational quotes, we simply send you an SMS each morning to help you get in the right frame of mind and give you a good start to the day. We just made it so it’s still in beta and US only. If it’s helpful to people we’ll probably roll it out to more countries. So there it is, if you need a little cheer in your day, feel free to check it out and let us know what you think! http://happi.lol/super-secret-page
