If you’re into unique well curated collections of music across wide ranges of genres, I highly recommend checking out NTS Radio, it’s also listener supported:

Morning, my friends and I have been working on a tool called Futureland (https://futureland.tv), that helps you connect your daily actions with your long term goals.

It might be worth experimenting with, we have a little community of people from around the world who have been using it to form new habits, learn skills, and see through their projects.

This looks awesome, ty for sharing <3

Perhaps in an ideal sense, it’s like a group chat of people that you find interesting, sharing their thoughts and ideas. It’s also useful as a mechanism for distributing your own work and ideas.

I agree with you in that, it sucks for content consumption, outside of keeping up with things in a shallow way.

I don’t know if you could rise to higher levels of understanding by continually using twitter, in the way you could by reading a lot of books.

It’s eerie how true this sounds.

Yeah definitely feel the same way about wishing this design language and approach was applied to everyday tools and objects.

Founder here. Thanks for your questions and notes. You're right our home page should include more information. Working on it.

> Where do my data go? Are they encrypted on disk?

Currently data is stored on central servers. We don't see this as our long term approach. It's what we have had to do while trying to realize this project with limited resources.

> Will they be shared with others

No. Your data is not shared with others. You can also create journals that are private and public on Futureland.

> Is it free (gratis), or what is the pricing?

Pricing is $5/month for unlimited entries. Your first 75 entries are free.

> is it a toy/game or a tool?

It is a tool that aspires to feel fun to use like a toy or a game.

I am going to take all of these notes and reflect them in an updated home page shortly. thank you!!!

Thanks for sharing this.

These are very interesting perspectives and notes.

1. "Are there ways for creators to easily share their work from the Futureland system with the wider Internet community?"

This is something I have been thinking about a lot. I wonder about the role of seeking attention while learning something new. I wonder a lot about how seeking attention affects what we end up making. Or what we end up not trying. I want to do whatever is best for users. I could be wrong but I'm not sure if it is as straight forward as adding the ability to publish to Twitter, Instagram and so on.

A long way of saying: I don't have clear answers on this yet and I think it requires deeper thinking and experimentation.

2. "Are you considering "mentor" or "support" participants who do not create, but provide knowledge and encouragement to creators?"

This is a powerful question. Some form of mentorship might be incredibly important. In my own life, there have been many times when someone I met on the Internet has said something to me that really transformed how I see the world or my work.

A question that comes to mind is, "how do you enable true and capable mentors to have more impact?" and "how do you avoid being lead by pretend ones?"

Yes, I have come across her project and her story - it's amazing. Thank you for sharing.

I am very open to whatever will make this useful to others. I would love to hear your suggestions. Feel free to share them here if it makes sense or if you want to message me directly, @internetVin on Twitter.

Whenever you're ready. Many existing users in Futureland are students in Uni. I encourage you to try and figure out why you failed in the past. I'm always around to help in any way I can.

Appreciate you taking the time to write about this. Noted your feedback. It’s great thank you.

Absolutely unreal

thank you so much. I find when I feel fear like that it's because the thing I'm about to try might actually work.

Not at 365 with code yet! Today is day 170. I think it’s very cool that you took the time to check this stuff out and write your thoughts. Thank you so much
