HITRECORD: Create Together Software

So this whole stuck at home thing has had me going stir crazy. I joined twitter and it’s been able to occupy me a little, I’m following Joseph Gordon-Levitt (who I adore) and he started this amaaaazing app called this app. It’s an interactive platform for creatives with themes for you to contribute to (so no worry about creative block) and multiple means with steps included to contribute!! For instance, one project will have a poem, it will ask that you read the poem and do a voice recording, create an animation, add to the poem or make a movie about it. I mean for someone bored and creative this app is quarantine GOLD!!! My daughter and I are both using it, it is so cool to see how we can look at the same thing and her creative mind goes a completely different direction than mine. If you’re a creative, give this app a go! It’s amazeballs!!

Edit/update: Thank you for adding the message boards! :D Please develop a way for the message boards to be accessible through the mobile app. Or at least having the notifications for message board comments to appear in the notifications tab. That way, when I see a notification from my message board, at least I'll know I need to open up the website on my desktop in order to view it and reply. I have literally just now learned that I have missed dozens of comments on my message board because I mainly use this app to upload posts from my phone. I very rarely open up the website from computer now, ever since the app came out. So an update pertaining to that would be wonderful!

Great place to find open minds—as an artist I feel safe to share my take on things, to collaborate, and most importantly to have some fun. This isn’t the place to go to if you just want to make money or dominate on a social media platform, which I think is the perfect atmosphere for giving everyone an opportunity to have an input. There is an opportunity to make some money occasionally, but in my opinion it’s typically divided between so many contributors that it is more about recognizing participation than providing some kind of wage(which I think I prefer this to motivating people to make art just so it sells to clients). I would recommend this for anyone who prefers to self start, and just wants somewhere to see something creative and unique happen when a ton of people come together with a common goal. A side note: both the app and the community have developed for the better over the year or so I’ve been watching, and I think it reflects the leaders intentional focus on more original content, diverse engagement from the community, and less of a ‘from the top down,’ creative process management. A+ idea and execution
