I was really hoping this sent you a random memory from a random person, not from your account :) Hmm... RouletteHop? *runs to name.com* ;)

@angilly that remind me of this social experiment: 20 Day Stranger (share intimate experiences with another anonymous person).

I recently redesigned MorningPics, a project I launched a few years ago to help refresh memories previously posted to Instagram. It's similar to Timehop in the sense it shows you past memories, but different because it's not tied to a certain time frame. The email you get each day is totally random. It could be a memory from 60 days ago, or one from 3 years ago. Each Sunday you'll get a summary of photos you took that week. It's a fun project that's brought me a lot of smiles. Give it a spin and let me know what you think.

@mulligan One quick note... my wife says "I'd rather it be texted to me." -- Any plans for that?

@cdevroe no plans as of yet, but if I hear that enough I'd be happy to add it.

@mulligan great idea here. Definitely giving this a go after finding myself scrolling through my photos for a solid hour yesterday.

I've been using this for a year or two and really love it! One gripe about the redesign - the emails no longer format properly in gmail for iOS. (

cool idea. i'd also be intrigued if there was a similar app that somehow resurfaced my most important / meaningful emails to friends/loved ones over the years

@eriktorenberg Fascinating - I wonder how you'd identify 'meaningful' amongst the sea of meaningless emails. I suppose clustering around certain contacts would suffice. Then that shitty Monday when you're resent the breakup email you hoped to never read again:)

@dshan somewhat related to the idea of memories you might not want resurfaced: http://www.theatlantic.com/techn...

I'm fascinated by nostalgia and its application in technology. @dan_hopwood is working on a similar product -- looking forward to when it's ready for Product Hunt. :)

@rrhoover My thinking has evolved somewhat since you saw the prototype. I realised that a lot of past and existing products are solving symptoms rather than the core problem itself. The nostalgia element of Goodtimes is now a delayed value, in a similar way that following friends was the delayed value of Instagram. It certainly wasn't why people flocked to it in the first instance. I've taken this approach as I believe cracking nostalgia requires perfect, and complete content. Pulling from our entire collections is no good, there's too much noise. Pulling from social networks certainly goes a long way (TimeHop, MorningPics, and others). It is of course impossible however to access all the other moments in the same way, those that were never shared. Often the ones that don't get shared are the most meaningful for us. For me, they make up the majority. I am perhaps more private than the average person but – as audiences continue to grow – I believe the trend will continue to move towards privacy. Interestingly, it seems like big data privacy is doing the opposite. We will only be more open with the number of steps we take, sounds, key strokes, etc. – it's already being captured anyway of course :)

@dan_hopwood I agree that private photos (the 90%+, I'm guessing, that people don't share on Facebook/Twitter/IG/etc. are often more meaningful and less discoverable. Now I'm even more interested to see where you've taken Goodtimes.
