Hi Product Hunt 👋 I'm Jacob, the creator of OutsideView. I built OutsideView because I noticed that many people don't actually need more information when they're struggling with a decision—they need a different perspective. Most online platforms optimize for attention, popularity, or engagement. OutsideView is built around a different idea: "What would someone with a completely different life experience think about this?" Users can share stories anonymously and receive perspectives from parents, students, professionals, people from different cultures, and others they might never normally meet. Some of my favorite moments while testing the platform were seeing people say: "I never would have thought about it that way." That's the outcome I hope OutsideView can create more often. Current features include: • Anonymous story sharing • Perspective-focused responses • Weekly reflection prompts • Community polls tied to real situations • Helpful and perspective-changing recognition I'd love to hear: When was the last time someone gave you a perspective that completely changed how you saw a situation? Thanks for checking it out, and I'm excited to hear your feedback.
