Merse

We’re building the new medium. Merse is a platform for visual stories like comics, but with immersive audio effects. (backed by @ycombinator)

[Pratik Joshi @analogexits]

Another big product shoutout goes to @MerseHQ for redefining how we enjoy visual narratives. I got into the habit of reading through comics and graphic novels, and even now, I gravitate towards them. Seeing them brought to life in such a rich, interactive medium is pure joy.

THE PROBLEM WITH POSITIVE THINKING

It seems today, everyone’s obsessed with this idea of a perfect life. Be happier, be healthier, be the best, be *everything*...

A truly happy person doesn’t *need* to tell everyone they’re happy. They just *are*.
