Check it out here: trysunflower.substack.com/p/the-psycholo…

Your email and social media share the same psychological tricks to keep you coming back. We're building something different: optimized for your attention and focus. Give today's newsletter a read.

In 1974, Stephen Lukasik became 'the first email addict'. Long before smartphones or laptops, he carried around a 30 pound Texas Instruments terminal. He took it everywhere, checked his email several times a day. At the time this was absurd. Fifty years later, we're all him.

We're hiring! If you're an iOS engineer obsessed with craft, we'd love to talk. Reach out to us below We're also offering a $5k referral bonus if you send us a great candidate that we hire

We’re ramping up at @trysunflower and hiring another iOS engineer (Swift / UIKit / SwiftUI). If you sweat the details and care about how software actually feels to use, we should talk. Come build a calmer, more personal take on email. Details below

@trysunflower If only u could hear my waitlist application

We <3 hearing from you all!

Can confirm -> the new @framer logo shaders are absurdly good. Infinite customization and so much fun to play with. Dropped a few @trysunflower svgs in, and created a background sound with @floraai's new audio tools.

In love with @trysunflower
