I created an app to help friends keep each other motivated, thoughts?

Hacker News

Hi HN, First time posting here as my cofounder and I have launched our first app together called Pronto and would love the community's thoughts on our concept and execution! The Idea: Pronto came about from one of my friends. He was messaging me, wondering if he should go to a book reading in our city as he had nobody to go with. I told him my usual answer which is: why not? He agreed, and later that evening messaged me thanking me for the nudge in the right direction. I thought about that exchange, and I realized that there wasn't really an organic space for people to feel supported by those they knew. This was the original kernel that then became Pronto. - your space to motivate your friends in whatever they're trying to accomplish. Say you want to get to the gym more often. Pronto will ask you to schedule a "Journey", (in this case heading to the gym) and during your Journey time, you will be randomly prompted to share a photo. Photos only last for 24 hours publicly, but users will keep their photos forever, serving as a personal journal of all of their hard work. Friends can then like and comment on photos, and even nudge their friends if it looks like they are going to miss their Journey. Pronto is your place to never feel like you have to start something alone again. My ultimate goal is to create positive feedback loops in people's lives, connecting people through activity. Why not use other apps?: I found conventional social media apps were too high stress. Apps like Instagram have users constantly worrying whether a particular photo is "insta worthy", while more specialized apps such as Strava have users worried about comparing their stats with other users. Pronto. hopes to address these issues directly, by offering people a low stress, more intimate experience with their friends. I would love if you took a look at my app, and even downloaded it to give it a try. It's a social app at the end of the day so it will likely feel a tad empty right now, but all feedback is warmly welcomed! (Please be brutally honest!!!)
