👋 Hi everyone, Dünya here, co-founder of Dive. We are a team of 5 from İstanbul (Anyone in the area? Let’s connect!) Our team consists of professionals and university students working on marketing, engineering, design and technology.
We love working and learning online because it gives us comfort and home feels like where we belong. However, it is quite difficult to focus as we did not have much experience working and studying online before the pandemic 🤷♂
❌Not being used to work alone
❌Being forced to work alone and remotely due to the pandemic
❌Inability to be motivated by seeing people in co-working spaces like Starbucks
❌Lack of motivation to devote the time needed to get work done
❌Dragging into the devil's triangle of TV series, social media, games 😈
lead us to create Dive to increase our productivity and spend more time on our social life with the time we earn by completing our responsibilities on time.
Dive is a platform where you can match with people from all over the world to get work done, increase sense of responsibility and motivation. With Dive you can
✅ devote time to the work that needs to be done
✅ reduce the feeling of loneliness by matching and communicating with other peers
✅ increase the sense of responsibility by sharing your goals with peers
✅ be motivated to get your work done by seeing from the session that your other peers are trying to keep their promises
With this application, you can do all kinds of activities, from studying to designing, by matching with a peer. At the beginning of each session, you start the session by telling your peer your goals, and because you feel responsible for your fellow peer, you can increase your motivation and make friends at the same time.
Now you'll be able to complete your work on time and devote time to other activities you want to do. If you want to increase your productivity, Dive is just for you.
Would love to hear what you think, let me know in the comments 👇
@dunya_yavas Congratulations on the launch!
Dive could be solving the need gap - 'Buddy Training for anything and everything' posted on my problem validation platform - https://needgap.com/problems/109... .
You're welcomed to explain how it solves their problem, So those who need Dive can find it easily.
The solution looks like a great idea, also problematic is clear
But for me it's a lot of stress to call a stranger. @dunya_yavas Are you planning to make features that reduce stress?
@stas_voronov Thanks Stas. Once you match with someone who wants the same thing like you, completing a task, that shared purpose turns strangers into comrades. We are also working on our matching algorithm to match people according to their tasks. We believe it will increase familiarity and reduce the initial stress. We would really appreciate any further ideas of course. Have you dived yet? How does it feel?
@dunya_yavas Thanks for your reply, I hope you can find a good solution to stress problem. Actually I have not dived yet, maybe I am not the target audience or there are other barriers. Maybe these barriers will be useful for your positioning: I am afraid that it will take a lot of emotional and time resources, and will not bring tangible benefits. As a UX idea - an interface that provides value without calls, and then smoothly leads to it :)
I've been using Dive for a week now. It reminded me how much I missed working alongside my teammates (hate you, virus).
Great idea, great UX, and already lots of users inside.
Well done @dunya_yavas@suheyla_seker@karahan_sezer!
@jan_mazurek It's really something that a lot of people have encountered. We thought just like you and then decided to develop Dive. We wanted Dive to enrich the existing apps. So we wanted to plan tasks by dividing them into fifty minutes time boxes and ensuring peer accountability by matching with a peer. Did the online chat tool give the result you targeted?
@elizaveta_k Thank you very much Elizaveta. We thought that when we matched people we didn't know before, our sense of responsibility increases and we focus better, and we created Dive.
