so i was wasting way too much time scrolling this year. like... 4 hours on socials (reddit included) and another 2 on texts and other pointless junk. 6+ hours. just... gone.tried to cut back and it was annoying, but it's honestly wild how different things feel. life is slower. in a good way, not a boring way. i actually have time for other things now. reading, exercise, just... sitting back...

my phone secretly robbed all my dreams and i didn’t even knew it got so bad. when i saw my screen time being about 11hrs with ~95 phone pickups per day, i realized how bad it got.my problem is that i could not avoid social media entirely as i post actively because i’m involved in marketing and branding.I tried the usual, app blockers & time limits, but i always find myself hitting “one more...

It all started with a question, “Why can't the Software that's beneficial to us and tries to advance our goals, be more fun, engaging and make us look forward to our day?”Most Productivity tools today are viewed as a dreadful chore to be dealt with, rather than a delight, they're not made as fun and engaging as our social apps, this is because most of them are made for employers, not for...
Social media by its design, has changed an entire generation's perception of reality with its ever-increasing unrealistic standards, incentivizing people not to showcase their growth, but only the absolute successful outcomes.It’s making people think they’re in a spotlight, and their every move needs to be perfect, picking a new skill or working towards a new career path means we are not going...
It’s making people think they’re in a spotlight, and their every move needs to be perfect, picking a new skill or working towards a new career path means we are not going to be as good in the beginning, it’s become very discouraging to be mediocre, but that’s the thing, everyone that has become great has to have been mediocre at one point before they were great, and this causes people to tell themselves they are never going to be as good as someone they see as great on their screens.
It feels like an entire generation has been robbed of their space to grow and make mistakes, causing people to think that skills and abilities come innately for many. So they forget greatness as a quality that comes with repetition & continuous improvement because no one shares their growth in public.
Folksable is an honest attempt at reminding and inspiring people of greatness as a quality instead of an absolute outcome.
Watch this clip from Ed Sheeran an early recording of himself when he was younger trying to sing, even the greatest artists we know need their space to grow into their artistic abilities and tastes with practice.
Imitation comes before creativity, and most creatives would agree. On Folksable, there's a good chance that a friend of yours has a keen interest in playing guitar and has a ritual of it on the app and shares their progress, this may be surprising for you to learn about them because they'd probably not show that on other social apps and only share once they feel they're good at it.
I put a great deal of thought into building the product to avoid the negatives of social media that our generation has been through
Productivity for the young.
Many of the traditional productivity apps like calendar or planner apps aren’t speaking to the younger generation (Genz), as many of them don't know how to use a digital calendar, or what a bcc or cc in an email is, A full-fledged project management app would be overkill for most everyday activities.
Every generation can either live with the tools and the ways of doing things that previous generations had built and pioneered or could reinvent for themselves.
That's why, I'm building folksable to help our generation get stuff done in our style as we grew up in social apps sharing pictures with friends.
As much as criticism the younger generation gets for the "Goldfish Attention Spans" and being a "Snowflake", we are also a generation that wants to be healthier than before, we are more aware of the negatives of excessive technology use, and more self-aware about mental health, in one sentence we made it cool to be healthy again.

Folksable is a photo habit tracking app, people share photo updates of their habits with friends to keep them accountable.Problem it addresses is many people want accountability from their friends and peers for doing self improvement activities, and they might not be comfortable doing this on instagram/twtr and other social media bcz it’s designed to show off and they might not be vulnerable...
But if you read the article, i even begun to write the article only because i found a PR that was left unnoticed, uncommented, even by their CI system (Expected — Waiting for status to be reported) for almost a year.
It's not cool to get ghosted for a year!
