Show HN: I created an app to talk to yourself about yourself (askmyself.rowu.me)
2 points by rolandwu__ 769 days ago
Hey HN,

I'm Roland, 35, and for most of my life, I followed a path that society or my family "wanted" me to follow: school, study, graduate, first job, promotions, house, wife, kid.

In all of this I forgot to deeply ask myself: What do I actually want for MY life?

After 34 years I woke up and asked: What the fuck do I get out of all of this? Let's find out!

This realization led me to create AskMyself, an app designed to help you engage in a daily dialogue with yourself. Each day, you receive a thought-provoking question via email—no need for another app cluttering your phone. You simply respond, and over time, these answers become a conversation with your inner self.

After 100 days you will receive a summary of your answers and a personalized roadmap!

I hope this app helps many people to find their true path and where they want to be in life! Don't be me, dont' sleepwalk through life - be smarter!

Cool idea, Roland. I like it, though receiving a return on your investment, basically your time and one-time payment, only after 100 days seems a little bit excessive. Do you think it is possible to get at least some kind of short summary after certain milestones/time passed, like every week?
Hey! Thanks for the comment! Sure, this would be possible of course. The summary was supposed to be at 100 days because it takes some time to develop the thoughts in your brain and the questions itself compound. So you end up thinking deeper and deeper about yourself with every question you receive. But a weekly summary is alright, yes :-)
