Rex: Home for things I love
The scene: You’re at a dinner party with some of your most interesting, captivating, worldly, informed, culturally aware friends. You know, the friends you text when you land in London and need to eat somewhere delicious, right now. Yeah, those people. All night long the conversation is riveting. They tell you which plays to see, what movies to watch, the album that you need to download immediately (and don’t disguise their shock that you haven’t already). A few bottles of wine later (the labels of which you took snapshots of), you say good night. You fall asleep making mental lists of all of the things you need to Google in the morning. You wake up. You remember nothing.
Now picture you are one of those people. You are the friend who your other friends treat like Google. You get more texts for dinner recommendations than you do dinner invitations (which is fine, because you have tickets to a show anyway). You have several emails with city names as subjects saved in your drafts folder and you cut and paste the content whenever someone asks you what they should do in S.F. You who spent all night telling someone the exact hotel room they need to request when they get to Istanbul, where to find the old man who will hook them up with a killer Turkish coffee, the piece of life-changing luggage that fits in the overhead compartment, and the five movies to download before their flight. You wake up in the morning to a text: “What was that thing you told me to do in Turkey? That wine was too good!”
We have places review what we’re eating, good and bad. Places to review where we’re vacationing, good and bad. Places to discuss what we’re watching, good and bad. But where do we share the things we love? I dare anyone to review their 10 year history of “likes” on Facebook and tell me that it’s a good representation of the things they love. And yet, the world needs a home where people can share and discover the things that inspire us — that are too good to keep to ourselves, without making it feel like work. REX is that place.
REX is where I share books, films, songs, and restaurants that have changed my life. The tacos that made me want to wash my mouth out with Sriracha just to stop the burn that I could 100% eat again? I put it on REX.
The book that’s worth soaking in on a quiet Sunday to yourself? Rex.
The digital artist ahead of it all?
The show that is like the Twilight Zone were set tomorrow?
The app that beats all other music apps?
REX, REX, REX. It’s the home for everything I love and where I find what I want to do next.
I’ve been blown away by the community of incredible tastemakers helping me answer the question, “What should I read, watch, or devour next?” And I’m not just talking about my friends — who have given me some of the best tips, hands down. On REX, I can get a movie recommendation from a filmmaker, a music recommendation from a musician, a restaurant recommendation from a chef — just by following them. Browsing a REX profile or Vault is like getting an intimate look into the things people love.
REX has taken that dinner table discussion with friends discovering new and awesome things, built it into a beautiful app, and filled it with some of the most interesting people on the planet. Come check it out:
