" build products that measure their success by the amount of time you end up spending away from them. " - that itself is a great mission to me. Signed up. Upvoted. And good luck for the path ahead!

Hey HN! Genie was started out of frustration with the current consumer tech paradigms where companies use powerful technologies and armies of people to build products that exploit our weaknesses and hijack our brains, just so they can improve their numbers and margins. We're trying to do the opposite. Build a company that combines human curation with powerful technologies to build products that measure their success by the amount of time you end up spending away from them. Products that are honest and don't work against you. Tools. We love technology, we believe ourselves to be true technologists and we want to put our money and time where our mouth is. We're currently in development and we're doing a lot of user testing. We expect to be going into private beta in June. If you find the product or mission exciting sign up using the form on our website. Also, let us know if you have any questions. Thank you :)
