Sane New World
Hey reader! Welcome to Sane New World — a newsletter about how the future is being built, one (in)sane idea at a time!
You’re receiving this in your inbox today as you’ve been a subscriber of Sane’s newsletter for a while. We’ve decided to split the newsletter in two — keeping the old for product-only announcements, and this new one for sharing more of the journey in building Sane: our philosophy, ideas, readings, and some stories from the community. If you would only like to stay in the loop with product, you can unsubscribe from this Substack below. 💔
Also, our website got a makeover. Check it out: sane.fyi.
Sane — a social playground for your ideas
The last decade of social media has been about creating and uploading as much information as possible. The challenge now is to connect that information and help people make sense of it all.
This is what we’re doing with Sane. Our mission is to build the future of how we discover, create, and share knowledge online.
More concretely, Sane is a social knowledge sharing platform powered by a spatial canvas. It's the easiest way to show people how you think and who you are — a little like an intellectual Tumblr, but from the future!
A thought on building…
I’ve come to realise that a lot of what goes into building something like Sane has to do with understanding (and taking the time to reflect on) what’s happening in the world. How different forces — across technology, creativity, and culture — are interacting and affecting one another in a perpetually changing environment.
Our podcast and newsletter are ways for us to document this process of making sense of it all, in the context of building Sane. And to openly show what our thinking looks like, how it is being shaped, and what conclusions we end up drawing.
More to come soon. Thanks for being here.
