Wonderful product team. Not just in America, Mental health is a huge problem in developing nations like India. I hope this app is actually a game changer. Congratulations on the launch.

@akshay_lahri thanks! yup definitely. Here's my tweet the other day - "India's mental health crisis: 60-70M affected. Has one of world's highest suicide rates. We need destigmatization and more awareness. 🇮🇳 Source: https://economictimes.indiatimes..." Looking forward to your launch as well!

Congrats, Kelly,I tried out your product briefly, and it's a great idea. However, my initial experience suggests there's room for improvement in the UI. It’s a bit tricky to input text on mobile, so I’d recommend adding more input assistance or including a voice-to-text feature. Also, could you consider adding some gentle background music? It would be really helpful for relaxing.

@rick_fan thanks for giving it a try and providing great ideas. We do have a "Do Nothing" Timer that's meant for you to listen to music / background noise and relax. :) There's also a Bedtime Stories section, where we're planning to add relaxing music! Or did you want to listen to music while you wrote the journals? 🤔

@rick_fan And about background music idea, I'm a bit concerned that background music might be distracting when writing your journal.🥺
Rick Fan
@kellypoly Maybe using white noise would be more appropriate?

🌟 Congratulations on launching Sunrise, @kellypoly @nicolepark @the_han_kim 🎉 🧘🏻 The evidence-based **Guided Templates** are a fantastic feature, helping users manage their mental health with expert-backed journal prompts. How does Sunrise ensure that these templates cater to a variety of mental health needs and experiences? 💌 The **Encouraging Feedback** feature is such a thoughtful addition, providing anonymous emotional support. Can you share more about how this feedback system works while maintaining privacy and security for users? 🌻 The **Sunflower widget** that blooms along with writing habits is such a motivating and unique touch! How have users responded to this feature in terms of building consistency in journaling? It’s inspiring to see how Sunrise is already making a positive impact, especially with no paid marketing. Looking forward to seeing how Sunrise continues to help users on their mental health journeys. Keep up the great work! 🌅

@kellypoly @nicolepark @kuu44 thanks for your support - great questions! 1) we currently have 8 different templates: gratitude, communication, relationship, mood journal, expressive writing, morning pages, night time writing. these were based on numerous user interviews! we're planning to add more guides every month going forward as well. 2) happy to! So while users write their journal entries, they can request "Encouraging Feedback". The responses to these requests are AI-generated, and polished by a human. During this process, we have no idea who sent these requests, ensuring anonymity! We just want to have a human double check on the feedback jic. 3) can't believe you found the sunflower widget already! actually a lot of people haven't found the feature to begin with 🤔 appreciate you taking the time to check us out. please let us know if you have any additional questions!

As a product enthusiast, I'm impressed by Sunrise's holistic approach to mental health and journaling. The combination of guided prompts, encouraging feedback, and privacy features addresses key needs in the self-care app space. It's particularly noteworthy that you've achieved significant traction in Korea without paid marketing - that speaks volumes about the app's value proposition. A few questions: 1. How do you balance providing encouraging feedback while maintaining user privacy and not storing journal entries on your servers? 2. Can you share more about the research or experts behind your 8 evidence-based templates? 3. What's your long-term vision for Sunrise? Are there any features or expansions you're considering based on user feedback so far? 4. As mental health apps proliferate, how do you see Sunrise differentiating itself in the long run? Congratulations on the launch, and kudos for tackling such an important issue. Looking forward to giving Sunrise a try!

@surenganne wow - thanks so much for your support and great questions! 1. All requests for encouraging feedback are completely anonymous. In other words, we have no idea from who sent these requests. The responses are AI-generated, and polished by a human. 2. Of course - I'll share more details about my favorite guide: Gratitude Journal. A non-evidence based approach would be simply writing about the 5~10 things you're grateful for. Our guide is based on research done by famous Stanford professor Andrew Huberman and his suggestions are to regularly write about (1) a story that's particularly meaningful for you (2) what the struggle was (3) what the help was (4) how that impacts you emotionally. According to Huberman, writing in such a way actually rewires your brain. 3. Boosting content: we're going to significantly invest in growing our library of journal templates, daily prompts and Bedtime stories. Additional features: advanced notification features (currently very rudimentary for our standards). Long-term vision: safest digital space to reflect, relax and recharge! 4. More affordable than digital therapy. More interactive than meditation apps. More focused on science-backed mental health templates than other journaling apps. Please let us know what you think after you give it a try 🙏🏻 really, really appreciate your thoughtful comment!
