Easier way to support each other through the ups and downs?

I've been a F/T searcher for ~8 months, under LOI for 3 months and the deal has just fallen apart. I've dealt with plenty of rejections and slip-ups throughout my 10+ years as an entrepreneur but each one is unique and I often feel insanely frustrated/down and alone after it happens.

So I decided to take a few days off from searching and channel that energy into something positive for our entrepreneur community as a whole. Here's a deck of what I call "journaling meets community via long-form Twitter": https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1zdurvOorKA_k61m50yUk-Z79Gr4_9a7_XIH-wAfQMQU/edit?usp=sharing

Would this app be useful to you or a friend? If so, I'd love to hear your feedback.

Kudos to you for finding coping mechanisms to deal with this roller-coaster ride of searching. This is an up and down journey, there's just no other way around it. The good news is you get much smarter on how pursue deals going forward, and as long as you continue to persevere things will eventually work in your favor.

Not a bad idea, seems very vulnerable to bad rep the first time a bad actor successfully uses it to social engineer information. You might want to write up some kind of short series of infographics on what should/shouldn't be posted to accompany user's introduction to the app to help mitigate.
