That sounds really cool, you were basically (my translation) auto-creating sub-reddits based on the media people were consuming at the time?

Sweet project.

Yeah! Wanted a really fast/frictionless way for people to jump into a context based on signals in their environment. This was also around the time of Color (the photo app which raised 40m or something off just a pitch deck) — “ambient computing” was becoming part of the zeitgeist.

Thanks for the kind words! <3
