Hello Product Hunt community, Good to be back with some major updates on the app. 🌀Nothing lasts forever – not even the "infinite scroll". We've used it, loved it, and hated it, and even become addicted to it. As a team of curious individuals, we realized we're using many apps for learning, even though they're not designed for it in the first place. They trick us into scrolling end lessly until we're filled with self-loathing. 🤖At Wiser, we're on a mission to create the best cross-platform recommendation engine ever built. We're introducing what we call 'the finite feed'. Most of us can't read, watch, or listen to more than 7 pieces of content daily. That's why our new 'For You' page only features 7 recommendations – 7 pieces we think you'll enjoy, based on your interests and learning goals. We bring personalized recommendations for podcasts, videos, articles, and newsletters, all in one place. All of the recommendations come from a community of experts and insiders, but are personalized to individual tastes by Wiser AI. 🔦 No more tunnel vision. More importantly, we're challenging echo chambers. As you explore our “For You” page, you'll encounter content that may be new to you. This is deliberate, because at the end of the day, we don’t know what we don’t know. At Wiser, we want to see ourselves as a vehicle to help you develop new tastes, interests, and hobbies. 🗃️ Organize everything in one place. Remember owning your DVDs, your records, your books? That’s the digital experience we’re going for. Save any content with Quickshare on your mobile or using our browser extension in your browser. Make lists based on topic, media type or just vibes. AI tags it, you find it easily with advanced search and filter. 🎧 Our commitment to listening to what people say This is a pivotal moment in our company’s history, and we need more feedback and guidance more than ever. We can’t wait to hear your thoughts! 🐵 Wiser Premium allows you to experience these recommendations ad-free and enables you to create 'private lists' if you wish. But it’s much bigger than that. Your support helps us on this mission to build a product beneficial for millions of lifelong learners and digital culture at large. 🎁 To celebrate our launch, we're offering a special gift: 1 month of Wiser Premium for free. To claim this offer, please email hey[at]wisermedia.com with your details. Thank you so much for your support!
Congrats on the launch @cansucubukcu 🚀 You've done such a great job of explaining the problem in a clear and compelling manner that I jumped straight onto your website after only reading the first bullet point 🙂 I think Wiser will resonate a lot with people who love self development and continuous improvement. ❤️
Cansu Çubukçu
@jgani Thank you so much! It's great to hear that our message resonated with you right from the start. Please let us know what you think - hopefully, the experiences of people who are passionate about self development and growth will shape the future of the product. 🙂

@cansucubukcu @jgani Thanks so much Jonni - hope you like the recommendations :). From Day 3 onwards it should get better 📲

This looks like a nice idea. I created an account. Unfortunately, I can't use it. I made my account with the email option. But now I see that there is no email option with the chrome extension. Also, there is no way to maybe add my gmail to the existing account. Do I have to make a new account?
Cansu Çubukçu
@danischenker Thanks for the feedback Dani. Are you having an issue with the gmail sign in? I’ll let our engineers know the issue you’re having.
Dani Schenker🇨🇭
@cansucubukcu No, I created my account with my normal email address. Not gmail. Later I installed the Chrome extension, but it doesn't offer the option to use my email (only Google account or Apple). Now I need to know if I have to create a new account since I want to try the extension.

Congrats on the launch! 🎉 I'm excited about the prospect of receiving personalized content recommendations tailored to my interests. Keep up the great work! 🙌

@barisasa Thanks for your support and excitement! We're committed to delivering personalized content recommendations that match your interests. Stay tuned for more tailored suggestions! 🎉🙌
Roman van Maaren
Congratulations on your launch! I love the idea, but I have to say the curation needs some work. 80% of the content suggested was in different languages so no use to me. Also one of the suggestions was a youtube video on how to make money selling AI art, which doesn’t seem to fit with the app at all. Best of luck on improving your product, hope all goes well!
Cansu Çubukçu
@thisisroman Hi Roman - thanks for the feedback. Is your content language set to English? You can check by going to My Library > Settings (the three dots in the upper right corner) > Language. If both App Language and Content Language are set to English only, you should not see content in other languages. It sounds like you've encountered a quite unique mix of content on our platform. While it might seem off the mark at first glance, encountering these unexpected pieces could be our way of breaking out of the "filter bubble." We are on a constant journey to refine our algorithms and ensure the suggestions are more in tune with your preferences, including making sure content on unrelated topics, like the AI art sales video, doesn't slip through unless it’s intended as a delightful surprise. We're doing our best to ensure that encountering these unexpected notes serves to break our users out of the "filter bubble." Our aim is always to deliver content that is both relevant and enriching, so your feedback on the content is incredibly valuable. 🙏🏻
Roman van Maaren
@cansucubukcu Thanks for your detailed response. I’ve looked into my settings and everything is set to English so there is something going wrong here. Excited to see where you will take the product, I’ll keep my eyes out!
Cansu Çubukçu
@thisisroman I've filed a ticket and the team is looking into resolving the issue. Thanks again for the support. ⭐️

I love this concept - first time hearing of Wiser but I think it's brilliant. I think the 7 recommendations instead of an infinite recommendation feed is feature that so important and will make all the difference to the learning experience!! It might just be me but I have found that it's hard to avoid going down the 'rabbit hole' and trying to consume too much information when it's all presented to me at once. To @cansucubukcu and the Wiser team - great job, a great concept and powerful and compelling explanation of the problem and how Wiser solves it. It's definitely resonated with me so I'll be signing up and giving Wiser a go - very exciting!!
Cansu Çubukçu
@sean_t94 Thank you so much for your enthusiasm about Wiser :) Love to hear that the concept resonates with you, especially our approach to recommendations. Limiting to 7 is indeed our way of curbing the overwhelm of infinite choices. Hopefully, it's helping users focus on quality over quantity. We're grateful for your support - let us know how the recommendations are working out for you in the next few days. 📲
Luis Arias
Great move @cansucubukcu and team! Helping people make more time for learning and curiosity without feeling overwhelmed is a huge win in this day and age. Congrats in the launch! 🎉🚀💯
Cansu Çubukçu
@kaaloo Thanks Luis!🐱 Hope you're enjoying your daily recommendations!

Congrats on your launch! Gonna try it and replace Headway(maybe?)
Cansu Çubukçu
If you ask me, those are two different use cases, as Wiser doesn't summarize books but only provides those shared by members of the community from apps like Headway. That said, I feel like Wiser and Headway could form a powerful duo as learning tools. Wiser could serve as a discovery platform for books you're interested in, allowing you to then dive into Headway for concise summaries. On Wiser, you'd have a single, integrated library combining book summaries, podcasts, newsletters, and videos. What do you think? 🙂

💡 Bright idea
Big congrats on Wiser's launch, Cansu and the team! Loving 'the finite feed' - such a smart way to keep learning focused yet fun. For a twist, how about a feature that lets users challenge friends to explore a topic together? It could turn learning into a social adventure. Keep up the awesome work!
Cansu Çubukçu
@shoppietra Thanks you so much! Your suggestion aligns with our vision to make learning a more engaging and communal experience. ⭐️ We're exploring various ways to integrate such interactive and collaborative features into the platform.
Emre Cubukcu
@shoppietra Thanks so much Pan - hope you enjoy the recommendations :). It's certainly on the roadmap. On Wiser, you can follow a friend’s list to explore topics together. Soon, you'll also be able to add contributors too ✌️. Challenging friends is a good idea as well :)

Looks nice but the sms verification doesn't work. I get a pin and once I enter it it says wrong pin.
