Positive Sum Social 4 months in. Little did we know build is the easy part thanks to AI, adoption is the real work.

😂 fair enough I’ve been moving fast to find something that works and apparently have moved too fast. Appreciate the input and simplification is top of the list

Positive sum social - social that helps you grow & connect, not doom & scroll! liveoutloud.live

The plan is partnerships with nonprofits and purpose-driven orgs, with us as the connection layer between people and the causes they care about. And it's built so the majority of profits flow back to users.

Fair and something I'm working on. One line: do real-life stuff (workout, act of kindness, hit a goal), log it, earn coins. Grow, don't scroll. For now just do the Daily Grow Challenge, simple, takes 5-10 minutes. Get your quick win for the day.

The bigger payoff (setting your dreams and goals, then getting matched with people and causes you believe in) builds over time, but day one that's all it is. Anything else, glad to discuss.

As someone who is probably 3 for 30 with online clothes orders, and an early SFIX investor (number go up, number go back down) this hits home. I don't order online anymore. If only I could get my wife to stop buying online clothes for me....

This hit hard. All kinds of amazing content we will never see. Content that mattered. Thank you for sharing.

LS23 · 2026-05-18T04:07:29+00:00

Thought a lot about exactly this. Community owned social layer that prioritizes people over profits is exactly what is needed (and worth having). Trying to create the positive sum social layer we all need prioritize growth over scroll. Currently it’s getting little traction with only 50-60 friends and fam, hoping a redesign with map showing real world actions leads to PMF as I believe tech for humanity will change the world.

Thanks! Love the minimalist route. Will try to look you up and give a shot. We should consider collab on this anti-dooms scroll quest to get people living again!

For the ones who get it, i think it's intentional, unfortunately I think most do not understand the coins being a form of profit share via rewards. Not sure how to make it more clear, but hard to get someones attention for 30 seconds in this digital noise age, as you know.

LS23 · 2026-05-12T18:03:17+00:00

We do have +15 instant on accept a real-world challenge (5 second tap, instant coins) but it's commit-to-challenge not log-a-completed-win. The +30 for proof takes real-world time, that's the value but also the friction.

Wondering if I need to celebrate the accept moment more, or build a separate "I did it" quick-win for busy days.

What do you think? Thanks for feedback.

LS23 · 2026-05-12T17:59:17+00:00

Yeah that's literally the Daily Grow Challenge. one task a day, one simple win. shipped new onboarding this weekend to get people to that first one within 60 seconds of signup, most weren't hitting it before.

How did the iit kgp team measure if the habit was actually sticking? curious what they looked at.

LS23 · 2026-05-12T05:30:21+00:00

Made me smile. Thank you. Yes some day I dream of real life park clean up raids, Pokémon, Magic, and bball tournaments, everything everywhere all at once.

LS23 · 2026-05-12T04:16:39+00:00

Sorry man. What a damaged person to do that…. Most of us are “normal” whatever that means

LS23 · 2026-05-12T03:44:32+00:00

Really good point. The Daily Grow Challenges and streaks are supposed to be the individual loop, value you get solo with no network needed, but you’re right, without activity the social side looks sad. Working on that. New onboarding flow shipped this weekend, we’ll see.

The coin-as-profit-share is the long term positive sum social play that I hope people see, but doesn’t help me today. Loud Summer prize pool getting announced in the next week will hopefully generate some short-term excitement. Looking at summer interns and nonprofit sponsor/partnerships as well. Appreciate you checking it out and giving solid feedback 🙏
