BEN: Random Idea 🏷️#1: Onboarding with Typeform
It’s very intimidating to start of on Mythos because its unclear what to do when you get there. I think if you onboarded folks with Typeform and asked them questions and pre-populated a Mythos page for them, you could create a custom onboarding experience at very low costs. You could build multiple templates for different archetypes over time.
It would scale well, double up as a survey, work well as an “application waiting list” and you could add questions like “who is one person you recommend and tell me an interesting story about them” and that can be the Easter egg when that person eventually joins and is populated to their profile.
Random Idea 🏷️#2: Grammarly integration
If these are meant to be public-facing evergreen notes, they should be well-written. Helping people sound smarter, makes them look better and creates more social proof.
Random Idea 🏷️#3: Karen X
I’m not sure if she would know ever come onto MythOS, but before the next time you catch up with her, you could Myth her latest “how to go viral on instagram” series.

Random Idea 🏷️#4: Comment layers
I know this is on the roadmap, but I’d love to have comment layers come with public/private tags. I want to give constructive criticism on your bio, but I don’t want to create a memo for it. I don’t want to make it public either, but you might want to convert the comment into a public memo, archive it as a private memo, or simply delete because irrelevant. Should be one click to convert from comment layer to memo.
Random idea 🏷️#5: Collaborative page
What does a collaborative page on mythos look like? Could we have a collaborative page together where these conversations are automatically archived and not need iMessages/email or slack?
Random Idea 🏷️#6 : Tagline
If you’re going to be moving down context marketing, “Content for everyone” feels strong. I like the idea of focusing on Context as the problem to solve for in this world because it is a hot social topic right now. It would force people to reference where a thought, ideology or fact comes from so that it can be countered. If you integrate versioning into it, it might even force people to become scientists. You could not only follow a chain of events that are true today, but maybe a chain of what was true in the past. You could see how someone’s thinking becomes radicalized over time.
In one sentence, on how I see Mythos so far: Mythos is a tool that enables you to synthesize your thoughts into deep context for public consumption.
Random realization:
As new people join the conversations, “Myth” can be easily used derogatorily because of its phonetic ressemblance to “Mis”. A Myth-diagnosis. Myth-guided. Myth-fit.
