Transcript

Let me tell you why you keep pressing the "save" button. Psychologically, humans are driven by aspiration. Most of the time, we don't save posts because we actually need them. We save them because they reflect who we want to be. We save content that aligns with our "ideal self" - smarter, healthier, more confident. But here's the catch: most of us rarely revisit those saves. They just get lost in folders, never to be seen again. So that's why we created Sortd, so that those ideas and inspirations don't just sit there, they become something that you act on.
