@antoine_os@samsheffer One of my favorite details about Stream (@sandbar) has been the charger
⚬ Universal dock that works with every ring size
⚬ USB-C connection, for all-day battery life
⚬ Magnetic snap when the ring clicks into place is ridiculously satisfying
I want to buy one of these for every Founders student.
Mina was kind enough to come by Founders School yesterday and demo the Stream ring.
EASILY the best dictation device I've seen.
The only bad part is I have to wait a week or two to join the beta...
We thought we solved voice interactions, but then we started testing dictation on Stream Ring with users
There was a missing detail that makes speech-to-text feel telepathic
Loved sharing with Nat, DMs open for demos. Excited to share soon
Voice deserves new hardware
⚬ Push-to-talk whisper mic
⚬ Solid-state glass touchpad
⚬ Silent LRA haptics
⚬ Ultralight aluminum-resin body
Stream, the mouse for voice

Demos are a trust fall. You leap, and trust in what you've built
Stream feels like a trust fall. I speak into the ring, and find memory, intelligence, & ease at my fingertips
I can't wait for more people to experience how that feels
Today we're sharing new updates on Stream
⚬ Batches 1+2 are sold out
⚬ Batch 3 is now available for preorder
⚬ New features: Reminders, Search, & Stream on Web
Currently testing out @sandbar and I am wildly impressed!!
You simply speak into the ring and it captures your thoughts, reminders, questions….its amazing
My ADHD brain is so happy right now.
@minafahmi this is everything.
One of our core design principles for Stream was:
∽ Beautiful, if noticed
My favorite products are egoless. By shrinking the product, you creates space for the user—The goal of the product is to go unnoticed.
At the same time, your products are an expression of you—especially when worn. Therefore, they ought to be beautiful,
if noticed
on the frontier of consumer wearables:
