Hi Taylor! Really interesting idea. I look forward to following Focusmate and giving it a go sometime soon. One use-case that I didn't see mentioned in your copy is for creatives. Consistently finding time to sit down and work on creative projects, music, writing, art can be a real challenge. I would certainly be interested in trying this out in my music production. Initial hesitation from me is the requirement for video chat, just because I haven't grown comfortable with doing that with a stranger over the internet. Perhaps video chat is a critical component to making this whole thing work, but maybe there is some middle ground that can be achieved by just using text chat or the like. Curious to know your thoughts on both these points. Cheers! - Varun
