Just an FYI for @trydaily production users. I'm seeing a weird bug using the new prebuilt UI where bluetooth headphone connect/disconnects on mobile breaks audio for the session. Suddenly people can't hear each other ๐ ๐ญ
The nonprofit I helped found, All Mental Health, is undergoing a transition. Some might say we are closing or "failed", I believe we found a different way to maximize the impact of the products we've built.

@beaucronin@halcyon_health Good point, hadn't even thought about "space" given years and years in the startup world and talking to clinicians/researchers so much. All good feedback for rewiring language habits, thanks! Got to start somewhere and I appreciate you sharing.
It takes energy to prepare and be in a good headspace for calls. Respect the time commitment and send an email to cancel, even if it's a fake excuse. Then I can get the time back to build software.
Engineers, when accepting interviews from early stage startups, please remember the person you're going to talk to is probably a fellow engineer. I've had candidates no show for 3/12 calls, all with confirmed calendar invites and no cancellation email.
@chrissyfarr@libbybrittain@foung Agreed. Positive ROI when taken holistically. How much saved in R&D across all the companies that later benefit from IP and product ideas? How could you embrace this as a VC? Pre-fund early company in an area knowing failure but save cost for other portfolio companies later?
@chrissyfarr@libbybrittain Yes it's had quite the life after death. Lantern will end up being like Xerox PARC, tech that underpins a bunch of future successful products/companies ๐
@libbybrittain@chrissyfarr Confusing shutdown page, but a group of ex-lantern folks, myself included, spun off a non-profit to try and keep providing digital mh content. It's a separate entity that built new product from scratch. Lantern never really pivoted, it was always digital cbt with human coaching.
@chrissyfarr 2 years post closure is bad enough, but it's really more like 5 years since we [Lantern] stopped commercializing a disordered eating product. Timeline when working with respected academics in the field is brutal.
