Lumberjack: micro vlogs – journal-based social for authentic daily persistence

Summary: Lumberjack is a social app for sharing short videos that document everyday efforts and progress without social pressure. It uses AI to provide anonymous reactions and weekly summaries, fostering a supportive environment focused on genuine persistence rather than highlights.

What it does

Users upload videos of 2+ seconds showing workouts, practice, or daily life to maintain streaks and receive AI-generated reactions from a community learning about authentic human persistence. The app excludes comments and direct messages, allowing only likes and anonymous "raise a hand" messages revealed upon upload.

Who it's for

It targets people seeking a low-pressure space to document ongoing personal journeys and daily efforts without the need for polished or Instagram-worthy content.

Why it matters

Lumberjack addresses the lack of genuine connection in traditional social media by enabling users to share the "messy middle" of their progress in a non-judgmental, supportive environment.
