@brianp introduced me to @bjnovak ~6 months ago when he was visiting SF and we met nearby Product Hunt HQ to chat about his new project. I love how general the app is, giving room for creativity but still constrained to the popular and well understood list format. They have some awesome publications like The Onion, Wired, NYT, and others on board (although missing listicle leader, Buzzfeed! cc @mat). Here’s my first list of favorite podcasts.
P.S. @bjnovak is doing a LIVE Chat in a few weeks. Subscribe here.
Reminds me of Pocket, in that it lets me create my own personal "library" and offload things from my memory to something that's effortless to 'remember' and will last forever.
Added to my collection The Collections Collection :)
@ecwilson I just love 'em. I'm always asking people for lists of favorite restaurants in certain cities, or documentaries on Netflix that are good, and originally wanted a place where people could request and share those types of lists with friends. There's still a lot of that. But we've also discovered what I think we all knew deep down - that lists are addictive, because they're the way our brains naturally order things anyway. It enables substance way easier than other forms of writing because it is often the connective tissue that gets in the way
@jfilcik this is for anything and everything - we wanted it to be the simplest form possible to enable creativity. That said, expressive lists is the center of everything so far. For some people, that's recommendations; for many others, it's lists of thoughts, memories, photos. Thanks for asking
Lena Dunham was on Kara Swisher's Re/Code Decode podcast (https://www.producthunt.com/podc...) a few weeks back and was saying how awesome The List App is and how much she loves it! 💁 @bjnovak really rocked it 👊
