Hi Product Hunt,
This is Tony & Gabriel, and we are excited to share Sofon with you all.
Who is Sofon for? → Curious learners
Sofon is a product for the curious few who love to learn, and feel that there is too little time to make sense of all the knowledge out there.
What do we do? → Curate people’s insights for you
Sofon continuously extracts & organises all ideas shared across podcasts, articles, and books. We then enable you to create your own personalised stream of insights, saving you hundreds of hours curation.
How it works today?
1. Subscribe to a person or topics you want to learn more from.
2. We aggregate and curate their knowledge across thousands of sources.
3. You receive your own personalised idealetter.
Help needed → Sofon “big picture” milestone
In our upcoming release we want to take it further with a tool that lets you discover the big picture on topics you care about, by enabling you to compare ideas across thousands of people on-demand.
e.g. You will be understand what large groups think about: How will LLMs keep scaling? What is the definition of a good life? What are the most promising use cases of ZK? …
We don't think this exists right now, but we believe it should.
If you want this to exist and get free early access please:

We are offering all users who create their idealetters now 6 months of free access to our web Idea explorer. Try it here 👉 https://sofon.xyz/
Would recommend fixing server side issue for free tier, and also having a notification that confirms waitlist emails(good practice).
Congrats on the launch, is this being manually aggregated by your team or being scraped, hope this grows, collected as disruptive.
Just wonderful. Easy setup, no hassle. But wow this is such a simple concept that brings a lot more value and could disrupt the newsletter scene. I think this could blow up if done the right way - not too sure how but you're removing the middle man of ideas and inbox.
This is great too because many thought leaders would love to have free exposure to be added to this platform so it could grow quickly. Also, getting their thoughts on socials etc is tedious and full of distractions.
Maybe you can utilize AI to make robo-podcasts that are curated if newsletters arent your thing. Just thinking out loud. Great work!
Information overload has become a huge problem and Sofon is solving it in a really clever way.
Amazing idea! Less information overload and more structure for my inbox! This will save me a lot of time in the future.
This seems very promising! There's a lot of information spread around and I have been struggling to get all the insights ranging across different topics and thinkers.
I've been trying Sofon as a beta user for a few days now, it's epic! Got to know a bunch of new and interesting people through the overlap of their ideas with the people I'm already following

Who hunted Sofon?
Sofon was hunted by Tony. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it.
