so coool - awesome to see, thanks for giving it a try!! would love to hear more, will follow up by email :)

That said, there are a number of creative collaborative contexts we're excited to experiment with further :)

We want to practice focusing on one at a time, but plan to explore a couple others later in the year.

Anything you're particularly excited about trying with Hyperlink??

Projects are great for learning.

Self-driven learning is a core value of Hyperlink. Too often the objects of online learning only weakly align with our true interests & dreams — projects of our own design, that we're fully motivated to explore, can be the best way to learn.

Small scale collaboration — at the extreme, 1:1 — is a nice counterbalance to social media.

Projects have boundaries; unlike algorithmic feeds and streams, they start and end. Projects with specific collaborators lead to us being more invested in the work…and having more fun.

It feels like there's demand here!

We've talked to many creative project-doers who we think would get a lot of value from this, it's fairly legible, and it's flexible in supporting a range of the types of projects we like best.

We all love seeing people do cool projects; we're collectively most excited about this right now.

It aligns with great experiences we've had using Hyperlink, and feels like a continuation of our current thinking + a natural progression of the app that can give it more focus.

If you enjoy doing projects with friends & want to try experimenting with Hyperlink, let's chat!

More detail here on what we have in mind & how to get involved :)

https://notes.hyperlink.academy/note/projects-with-friends

We're trying a series of experiments using Hyperlink intensively in specific contexts, starting here: creative projects w/ close collaborators.

We'll be doing our own projects, talking w/ project-doers, encouraging experiments

…and aiming to make Hyperlink *great* for projects

still an early MVP but excited to test more — we think it'll be useful for many groups of collaborators…even just two friends w/ a bunch of things they're exploring together!

like a shared multi-project dashboard / feed…

ECOSYSTEMS

Our projects and circles connect in many ways, some emergent and unpredictable. A complex graph of people, things, creations.

We need new schools and networks, where work can evolve over time, where we can connect and explore shared interests and experiment…

COMMUNITIES

We care about many things. We're part of many circles; many communities.

We need many ways to collaborate: with a friend, a team, a community. Ways to design experiences with varying parameters, pieces, and participants…

FRIENDS

Learning is better together; friends make things fun. Creative momentum is amplified by close collaborators, comrades, confidantes.

We need environments where we can brainstorm together, pose questions, exchange feedback, focus shared energy…

SELVES

We all have projects, passions, dreams. There's special alchemy in taking a fascination or ambitious goal, and taking steps to make it real.

We need containers, intentions, magic circles — help taking that key first step; spaces where we can go to get things done…

very cool! send us a note (contact @ hyperlink . academy) if you'd like to chat more, interested to hear what your ideal learning group would look like & glad to share some detail for what we have in mind :)
