If you’re into unique well curated collections of music across wide ranges of genres, I highly recommend checking out NTS Radio, it’s also listener supported:
Morning, my friends and I have been working on a tool called Futureland (https://futureland.tv), that helps you connect your daily actions with your long term goals.
It might be worth experimenting with, we have a little community of people from around the world who have been using it to form new habits, learn skills, and see through their projects.
Hey, I came across this the other day and thought that it looked really interesting but other than the initial landing page and the login page I couldn’t find any other information on it. Is the tool more like a social platform for sharing habits and skills or a private space primarily? Do you have a privacy policy at all or list how you handle user data?
Perhaps in an ideal sense, it’s like a group chat of people that you find interesting, sharing their thoughts and ideas. It’s also useful as a mechanism for distributing your own work and ideas.
I agree with you in that, it sucks for content consumption, outside of keeping up with things in a shallow way.
I don’t know if you could rise to higher levels of understanding by continually using twitter, in the way you could by reading a lot of books.
Founder here. Thanks for your questions and notes. You're right our home page should include more information. Working on it.
> Where do my data go? Are they encrypted on disk?
Currently data is stored on central servers. We don't see this as our long term approach. It's what we have had to do while trying to realize this project with limited resources.
> Will they be shared with others
No. Your data is not shared with others. You can also create journals that are private and public on Futureland.
> Is it free (gratis), or what is the pricing?
Pricing is $5/month for unlimited entries. Your first 75 entries are free.
> is it a toy/game or a tool?
It is a tool that aspires to feel fun to use like a toy or a game.
I am going to take all of these notes and reflect them in an updated home page shortly. thank you!!!
These are very interesting perspectives and notes.
1. "Are there ways for creators to easily share their work from the Futureland system with the wider Internet community?"
This is something I have been thinking about a lot. I wonder about the role of seeking attention while learning something new. I wonder a lot about how seeking attention affects what we end up making. Or what we end up not trying. I want to do whatever is best for users. I could be wrong but I'm not sure if it is as straight forward as adding the ability to publish to Twitter, Instagram and so on.
A long way of saying: I don't have clear answers on this yet and I think it requires deeper thinking and experimentation.
2. "Are you considering "mentor" or "support" participants who do not create, but provide knowledge and encouragement to creators?"
This is a powerful question. Some form of mentorship might be incredibly important. In my own life, there have been many times when someone I met on the Internet has said something to me that really transformed how I see the world or my work.
A question that comes to mind is, "how do you enable true and capable mentors to have more impact?" and "how do you avoid being lead by pretend ones?"
