Hey fellow makers! 👋 I had this random idea 2 months ago to build a private twitter for myself. I really liked how twitter made it easy to share my thoughts with everyone but there was a lot I didn't necessarily was interested in sharing publicly. After a few weeks of contemplating this idea, I decided to go ahead and build it. I then sent out about 20 beta invites to some of my friends. A few weeks later, the number of beta testers has grown to more than 150 people and I've managed to tap into a whole new community of twitter power users who think publicly and use Stream & Twitter frequently. Top Features that makes Stream super helpful: - Messaging style UI to make note creation super simple - Supports Audio notes and transcription via Speechkit framework - Supports images - Search - Ability to spin threads - Privacy - All data stored on your phone Would love your feedback!! P.S. the app makes typewriter sounds as you type 👀

Looks very simple and clean! Congrats on launching on Product Hunt! 2 questions for you. 1. What would you say is your pitch for someone already using a journalling platform like Day One Journal? 2. What made you decide to start with iOS?

@marcoafabrega Thanks! 1. I've tried Day one a few years ago when it first came out. Stream is way more simpler, and has way less friction which makes it perfect for all kinds of random uninhibited rambling thoughts. Day one feels like a proper journal and you need to think about things before typing in. Subtle differences. 2. I'm an iOS developer, a lot of my target users had iPhones, I can also do a lot of cool things with speech to text, computer Vision stuff locally on device rather than using an external API so it was a no brainer :)

@vd_thatte Something for introverts is always a good idea :) How about we publish an interview about Stream at StartupRadius? Ping me at paul@startupradius.com if interested!

Let me start by saying that I write private posts on my Facebook all the time, Except when I don't post at all. So when I saw this I thought to myself, hey, this maybe that next social network! To my disappointment this just seems to be another note taking app. Lose my phone and all my "private" thoughts with Will it, at least, backup to my private cloud? Perhaps the silver lining is that I'd download the app if it had a "central database" and publish option (extendable to Twitter and other social networks I want to integrate). An in-app Facebook-like newsfeed is not a bad idea either, for those exceptional moments the introvert feels extroverted (Hey that sounds like a social network... for introverts). Other than that I love the minimal UI and I seriously think this has potential. Keep going!

I’ve been using it for a few weeks to add little notes that I revisit later

Pros:

It’s great to be able to type thoughts out quickly with a UI that’s inviting to create

Cons:

I’d like to be able to toggle the typing sound or have it disabled when my ringer is off

@vd_thatte awesome job. I love the typewriter feel and overall authentic writer vibe it provides. Would suggest adding more skeuomorphic design elements. I imagined I was in Red Dead Redemption while writing my ideas 👌🏽

@hipcityreg @amrith It seems like people mainly use it for twitter drafts. A friend of mine who blogs said half of his ideas went through Stream which was very encouraging. I can also see people writing poetry/rap, feels like a great medium for that. I personally use it for new ideas, venting out, writing down new insights, etc.
