Hey PH ๐Ÿ‘‹๏ธ and thanks @chrismessina for hunting us! ๐ŸŽ‰ Weโ€™re thrilled to share Uptime with you. Did you know? Every year, more than 2 million books ๐Ÿ“š are released, and thousands of courses and documentaries go online. The selection is so large, if a person was to read one book a day, it would take them over 365,000 years to read them all! We live in a world where, with the entirety of the worldโ€™s knowledge in the palm of our hands, weโ€™ve never had so much access to information. Yet largely, we donโ€™t! We are drowning in information and thirsting for knowledge. On a personal note, after 10 years as an executive at YouTube and Facebook, I wanted to help build a place for safe, curated learning thatโ€™s also fun and memorable -- and I met some amazingly talented people who felt the same! So we got together and built Uptime ๐Ÿš€. We offer โ€œKnowledge Hacksโ€ โ€” which distill into bitesize visual stories the very best books, documentaries and courses from the worldโ€™s most inspiring minds โ€” all from sources you can trust. Uptime in a nutshell: โœ… Authors and creators you know and trust โœ… Curated topics which matter most to you โœ… 5-min story format to save your time and have fun learning ๐Ÿง  Watch, listen & read modes scientifically proven to be more memorable ๐Ÿ“ต No fake news, no ads ๐Ÿ“ต No doom scrolling ๐Ÿ“ต No fluff Where you come in: ๐Ÿ‘‰ Weโ€™re on a mission to help people gain easy access to the worldโ€™s best knowledge and thrive in a fast-changing world, because knowledge is power. Weโ€™re thrilled today to announce that weโ€™re live on both iOS and Android with over 1,500 Knowledge Hacks and are adding more than 30 per week. During our initial launch, all of our content is free, but weโ€™ll be introducing the Uptime Subscription soon. Weโ€™d love for the PH community to come check it out and get early access to help us decide which Hacks to build next. For those sign up first, youโ€™ll have access to our best subscription offer when we transition to our subscription model. Weโ€™ll be here all day to answer your questions and receive your feedback! Please comment below and follow us on Instagram @uptime.app. ๐Ÿฅฐ A sincere thank you from our entire team from around the world: @jamie_true @jbekhor @cambruzzi @lea_sam @joebotdj @humberto_mogetti @joesimms

I'm super excited about the Uptime platform and team. It combines some of the best trends in snackable, educational content with an editorial angle that splits the difference between Blinkist and the Kindle Unlimited Reading Library. "Hacks" are a new kind of multimedia summary that play like Stories but allow you to go deeper and leave with specific, actionable takeaways. I'm excited for the Product Hunt community to dig in and take a look!

Hey everyone ๐Ÿ‘‹ Iโ€™m Jean, SVP of Product & Design at Uptime. We made a special 5-min Hack of โ€œThe Product Hunt Playbookโ€ by Nick Costelloe for this special occasion. We learned a lot from it ourselves while preparing for this launch, and of course knowledge is always better shared! Check it out here https://to.uptime.app/ph. Would love to hear your feedback and thoughts about this Hack and our app. Thank you so much!
