Hi, one of the co-founders of StoryArk (https://storyark.eu https://storyark.eu) here. I really like your idea. We're building something similar with a focus on photo sharing. Have you considered making the contact book upload an opt-in? We also thought about connecting our users via their phone book, but we chose a different approach as we're concerned about privacy. If you make the contact book upload opt-in, you at least give the user the chance to try out the app before giving away the contact details of their whole phone book (without their permission).

Hey! Love the landing page for StoryArk & thanks for the ideas! Super similar concept. A few apps I've seen pop up in the space are Lalo (https://www.lalo.app/ https://www.lalo.app/) and Waldo (https://waldophotos.com/ https://waldophotos.com/). Yes, we initially had it this way and it seems from this HN launch that's what users prefer! The feature is flagged so we can bring it back and will likely do so (having an opt-in as you've mentioned). Would be great to connect and share learnings. If you'd like send me an email (james@oncircles.com).
