- Messaging system that lets you prioritize your attention
- Let people bid for your attention
Problems
- Emails, Slack messages are like logs at this point.
- You need (paid) tools to extract the signal from the noise
- Messaging systems and platforms like WhatsApp, SMS are slightly better, but still too much noise
Solution
The goal of Serious Contact is to make a message inbox that is pure signal. We do this by asking the sender to pay money to every message that is sent. We let the senders self service determine how important it is to get the message to you and receive a reply from you. It is not meant to replace email and all the existing messaging systems, but be a new avenue that let's people bid for your attention. And you can prioritize paying attention to the messages here first, before going to email, X, Instagram, etc.
