We’re developing a social app that blurs your friends posts when you haven’t talked to them in real life for a few weeks. The aim is to keep you better in touch with your close friends by having quality interactions outside the screen.
A lot of the students we spoke to love the idea. HN feedback is super important to us.

We believe to win users' trust, the next generation of social apps will not monetize attention or data to align their incentives with users’ well being. We’re students and we want to see technology used for good ;)

- bhch 7y ago> a social app that blurs your friends posts when you haven’t talked to them in real life for a few weeks How will the app know that?
- Sido_A 7y agoPosts will be blurred after a predetermined period, two weeks for example, then users will confirm that they have met or talked on the phone to unlock their posts for another two weeks.
