This is a great project! I've been to Burning Man 10x and interactive projects are my favorite part. Also, if I may, for folks that might appreciate more phone-based spontaneity, I've built an app to revive the social phone call.

I made Beacon, a mobile app for answering: “which friend is free to talk right now?” It’s basically a one-to-many phone call that only one person can answer. Send a beacon to a group, and everyone gets rung at the same time. The first perso

This app could work as is for an elderly grandmother as once set up (could be set up for her by family), it's just "open app → press single giant Beacon button" which would try to reach everyone in her network at once. It doe

If you miss a Beacon and that makes you realize you want to chat with a friend, you can just send your own Beacon!

The idea is to just send a beacon whenever you're free and maybe you'll catch friends in the wildly different timezones from time to time. I sometimes send beacons on morning commutes. Way too early for normal social calls but wil

Currently a one-man side project: https://laboratory.love In 2024, PlasticList found plastic chemicals in 86% of tested foods—including 100% of baby foods they tested. Around the same time, the EU lowered its “safe” BPA limit by

For an individual acting on their own, single tests for phthalates and BPA/BPS/BPF normally cost ~$500. Laboratory.love tests three samples from different lots to ensure reliability (as PlasticList found variation of up to 59% bet

Awesome, thanks for the feedback. I will look into Labdoor and their funding models. I'm definitely open to expanding to other types of testing if/when this project grows. I'm actually already able to test for nearly everythi
