Close-Knit by Animo: Passively share your mood with up to 5 close friends.

Close-Knit is an app to help you and your closest friends stay connected by sharing how you're feeling. Particularly with self-isolation in full-effect, it's important to stay connected with those around us!

Hey everyone! I was talking with a close friend who's struggled with mental health in the past, and we realized something like this might be useful for lots of people, particularly at a time like this! YouTube video walking through core features:

🙂 In the interest of helping us support those close to us, Close-Knit helps you and your 5 closest friends keep tabs on each other's emotional health. 🗒️ Do daily check-ins to update your well-being graph, and choose to make it visible to up to 5 friends. 🤖 If you opt-in to the NLP analysis, as you complete more check-ins, Close-Knit will be able to passively assess how you're feeling and update your well-being graph automatically! My startup, Animo, works in the space of mental health and AI, building AI models to help individuals passively monitor their psychological well-being by analyzing text data. I figured this could be another cool application to help people! Looking for feedback and for anyone interested, just check it out here: https://www.animo.ventures/close...

Amazing idea! This sounds even more useful given these uncertain times were in

@tashadsaqif Appreciate it! I thought so too!

Seems like a cool idea, especially the ping feature. Do you think in the future you might be able to add more than 5 friends?

@jaishree_nayyar The decision to limit it to 5 people was based on research around Dunbar's number in which it's estimated people have no more than 5 people in their "close circle."

@quinn_underwood wow, thats interesting
