🔮 What is a marble?

In my world, a marble is a metaphorical container for a note that I want to share and shape with you. It can be a sketchy idea, an insight, a piece of knowledge, or a question that I consider valuable for my life's ongoing dialogue.

These marbles are never perfect and always a snapshot of a given moment. So, please, feel free to add your perspective at the ⬇️ bottom of the page. I try to follow the 🔮 principles for media movement building.

Read more about my intentions in 🔮 this marble.

In the past, I didn't have a way to share ideas or insights with others. This marbles website is the manifestation of my desire to share intentionally with the world. If you want to do it too, let me know. I can help you.

A news app that collects the most important news pieces during offline time

Why?

So the user doesn’t have to check the news regularly but can catch up whenever they would like to. Current news apps require constant consumption because there is no coverage of old events unless they continue to create new news.

We live with a lot of stress and anxiety and checking fear-based news induces stress. Reduction of news consumption is very helpful to reduce stress but creates the risk to miss actually relevant news reports.

How?

The user may connect all their favorite news channels and indicate interests. Every time they open the app, they will receive a summary of the highlights. They may give feedback on the relevance of articles to help build more meaningful summaries.

What?

An app and browser experience that stays aware of log in times and builds summaries accordingly.

Since phone stimulation can be so overwhelming, I visualized 🔮 my plan to spend two days per week without my phone.

Saqib Rizvi explores the topic of stress and anxiety in a talk on Insight Timer that inspires this idea.
