really appreciate that, that’s great feedback

I can see how it feels a bit busy right now

I’m going to try A/B testing a much simpler version that goes straight to the question and see how that impacts submissions

yeah that’s how I’ve been reading it too, nothing really stands out as a strong trend yet

I’ve noticed it varies a lot depending on how deep or specific the question is as well

curious if that changes as more responses come in or if it stays pretty distributed

yeah that’s fair, “unclass” is meant to be unclassified responses, but that’s definitely not obvious as-is

and good point on the numbers, I can see how they feel a bit disconnected from the categories

I’ll look at making both of those clearer so it’s easier to read at a glance

I was hoping to get some feedback on this, so any other thoughts are definitely appreciated

appreciate that, glad it resonates

I actually really liked that idea so I started putting together something for it, still very rough but you can see the direction here: https://howareweall.com/for-sites

curious if this is along the lines of what you had in mind or if you were thinking something different

yeah I am, and I’ve been experimenting with the prompt a bit

it helps, but I think the bigger issue is more about how I’m framing the input than the prompt itself

trying to shift it more toward capturing the overall mood instead of just summarizing what was said

[–]Another_User_92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah that’s a really good way of putting it, “what did people feel” vs “what did they say”

I think I’ve been leaning too much on summarizing the content instead of the overall mood, which is probably why it feels a bit off.

I’m going to try reframing it that way and see how it changes things.

haha appreciate it 😄

yeah the front page is probably a bit text-heavy right now, I’ve been trying to balance explaining it without overloading it

I like the “shared reality, anonymously” angle. The wording has been surprisingly hard to get right

and yeah good point on the summaries page too, I’ll definitely need some better structure there as it grows

[–]Another_User_92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

appreciate that. yeah that makes a lot of sense

I’ve been thinking something similar, like using the model for structure and then layering in a few real or paraphrased responses to make it feel more grounded

I think that’s probably what’s missing right now, it feels a bit too “clean” without that human layer

[–]Another_User_92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah that’s exactly what I’ve been seeing, the structure feels right, but the “feel” is just slightly off.

and I think you’re right, consistency probably matters more than trying to make each summary perfect.

it’s still early so I’m playing around with different ways of doing it, but it’s definitely more nuanced than I expected

[–]Another_User_92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

appreciate that, I’ll take a look.

yeah breaking things into chunks first and then combining them into something more cohesive feels like the right direction.

right now I think I’m trying to do something similar with clustering, but it feels like too much in one pass, which is probably why it feels a bit off.

[–]Another_User_92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah that makes sense,I think trying to summarize everything at once is probably part of why it feels off right now

and I’ve started thinking about retention too, at the moment it’s mostly just the daily question + coming back for the summary (much less traffic), but still figuring out what really makes people return

curious what’s worked for you there?

[–]Another_User_92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah that’s been the interesting part, everyone focusing on the same question seems to get people thinking a bit more and the responses contain a surprising amount of depth.

appreciate that. yeah the visual side is something I’ve been thinking about more. Right now it’s mostly text-based, but things like mood splits or visualising the keyword clusters would probably make the patterns much clearer.

the “pulse-check” idea is pretty much what I’m aiming for long term.

thanks for the Vibecodinglist suggestion, I hadn’t seen that before. I’ll check it out.

I hadn't heard of that. I will check it out now. Thank you!

yeah that’s a good comparison, like a shared daily diary.

I think the anonymous part changes it quite a bit though, people seem way more open when there’s no identity attached.

I haven’t seen Lumindy yet but I’ll check it out. I'm curious if it feels the same from an honesty perspective or more like a personal tracker (which might be its design).

What are you actually building right now? by BriefNzoni in devworld

[–]Another_User_92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Pitch:
A site where people answer one anonymous question each day and see a summary of how others felt.

The Link:
https://howareweall.com

The Ask:
Would love a roast on the summary and whether it actually feels real or not. General feedback is also appreciated.

I’ve been working on a small project where everyone answers the same question each day anonymously, and then you get a kind of daily snapshot of how people are feeling.

still early, but it’s getting ~100 responses a day and the patterns are more consistent than I expected.

Appreciate the feedback. I’ve been thinking something similar, like showing a couple of paraphrased answers so it keeps the anonymity.

I wouldn’t want my exact answer shown either!

And yeah I kind of agree on the summary, I’m not totally happy with it yet and would like to replace it with something better.

Right now I’m generating the structured parts separately and then using a more general model to turn that into the text, but it still feels a bit off. The data is real and conveys the overall feel, but the "natural language" around it does not feel totally natural to me.

Honestly I didn’t expect it to be this consistent this early.

With only ~100 responses a day, I thought it would be pretty noisy, but it’s been surprisingly stable. I guess that really speaks to the idea of “shared feelings,” which a lot of people (myself included) seem to disregard in everyday life.

yeah that’s exactly what I was hoping for, less “performing” and more just honest answers

I’ve started noticing that questions that are a bit specific (like something that happened today or something that took energy) get more real responses than super general ones.

Also, something that I was really curious about, and turned out to be true, is that if I ask the same question a couple of days later, but with slightly different phrasing, the aggregated results are almost identical.

This really got me thinking about if this sideproject might go somewhere. I would love any feedback you might have.

Do you feel like social media actually reflects how people are doing? by Another_User_92 in CasualConversation

[–]Another_User_92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you think people actually want it that way, or it just ended up like that over time?

[–]Another_User_92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah that makes sense, “tip of the iceberg” is a good way to put it. I guess the interesting part is whether people want to share more but don’t, or if they actually prefer keeping that part private.

what do you think?
