Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I built Soch because I think something fundamental has gone wrong with how we spend our time online. Today’s social media isn’t just a way to pass the hours, it actively steals them. By design, feeds warp our sense of time: endless scroll, unrelated posts, autoplay, and notifications make hours feel like minutes and leave us with almost nothing memorable to show for it. While thousands of fascinating research papers are published every day, most of us never read them because they’re dense and inaccessible. Soch is my answer to that. It uses AI to transform complex research into bite-sized, memorable content you can actually enjoy scrolling through: • Clear, human-friendly summaries (no PhD required) • AI-generated visuals to anchor ideas in memory • Optional deep dives when you want them • 165+ categories so your feed reflects you What if your scrolling didn’t make time feel shorter, but made you feel more alive and informed? That’s what I’m trying to build with Soch. I’d love your feedback, and more importantly, what topics would you explore first? 🚀

The question is how to make people swap Instagram for Soch? 👀

@busmark_w_nika maybe ASMR videos could be added to the background 🤫

Love this concept—turning doomscrolling into curated research snacks feels spot on for how people actually use their phones today

How do you design the experience so it doesn’t become another attention trap—what concrete product decisions did you make to optimize for “feeling informed” rather than maximizing time-on-app, and how do you evaluate whether you’re succeeding?
Samet Sezer

making dense research visually scannable is a massive unlock for accessibility. do you link back to the original source papers for users who want to verify the AI summaries?

Rahul Agarwal

@samet_sezer yes, in an article's detail screen, user's have the option to navigate to the original paper.

Oh man I really love the design! Is there a personalization feature? The more you use it, the more personalized posts, visuals and language get for you?

applaud the bravery in developing this against the human nature haha!

bug: when i click into the detailed page of the research, seems there's no way to get out of it. (I'm using iphone 16 pro).

also echoing @busmark_w_nika 's comment, it's gonna be a huge uphill battle to convert the behavior of the mass. Maybe in the future a potential direction can be directed towards students/youth where these topics can be more tied to their curriculum? As a parent I'd be more at ease knowing they are scrolling something remotely related to their school works than tiktok...
