Sohzo - a daily reading app that pushes you outside your usual domains

Building a solo iOS app and at the validation stage.

The concept: one short piece a day, from a knowledge domain the user wouldn't normally pick. No feed, no algorithm surfacing more of the same. The idea behind it is simple: a lot of interesting thinking happens at the edges of fields, when someone from one discipline stumbles into another. Most reading habits work against that.

Would love feedback on whether the problem resonates. I put together a short survey (2 minutes) to understand how people's reading habits actually narrow over time and whether they notice it.

Happy to answer questions in the comments.

[Casual] When did you last read about something completely outside your usual interests? (Everyone)*

A genuine question, and yes, there's a small product pitch at the end.

I'm building a reading app called Sohzo, and before I go further I want to understand how people actually encounter ideas outside their comfort zone. Not the aspirational version. The real one.

I put together a short survey (2 minutes) that tries to map the honest version of how people get informed and where the gaps are. There's an optional field at the end if you want to follow the project.

Happy to return the favour: drop your survey link in the comments after completing mine and I'll get to it.

Thanks.
