Remember malls? Remember shopping with friends? With the rise of e-commerce, the opportunities to shop together are fewer and farther between. Surely no sane human would want to digress to the old days of brick-and-mortar… Free shipping, free returns, A.I. enhanced search, no commute to the store, and no crowds… this is just too convenient! But why can’t we make e-commerce more social? Have you ever wanted a second opinion on something before you bought it online? The people you love know exactly what you like. They are brutally honest. They stop you from making dumb purchases! Sending a link or screenshot and waiting patiently for a reply just doesn’t offer the same level of satisfaction as a real-time reaction. Whether you are window shopping, or blitzing the web for a full new wardrobe… shopping, like everything else in life, is better shared.
This is one of the many reasons we built lightbeam 😊
lightbeam allows you to live broadcast your phone in a private chat. It turns your mobile experiences into shared mobile experiences. lightbeam has an incredibly interactive user interface and allows you to cast your screen and audio to your friends while subsequently collaborating with them over text, audio, or video. On top of more traditional digital communication channels, we have also built in the ability for you to communicate through annotations as well — it’s almost like digital body language. Check out the video below to see how lightbeam works.
This is not just an app for shopping together though, it is an app for collaborating in every part of your mobile life. People are spending upwards of 5 hours a day on their smartphones and due to the nature of those 6-inch screens, this is mostly alone time. We want to reduce digital isolation and allow you to loop your friends and family into your digital life. With lightbeam, you can do everything together: watch your favorite YouTube videos, jam an album on Spotify, or do something more productive like book your next vacation!! If you are anything like us, we think you will agree that most things in life are better when they are shared 😊 Check us out at www.lightbeam.app!
