A: Hey Hana! Did you hear about a new app?
B: No, what is it? Tell me!
A: It’s from Biz Stone, you know, one of the guys who made Twitter! And Evan Sharp from Pinterest too!
B: Wow, that’s a big deal! What's it do?
A: They just got a lot of money – almost 30 million! Their app is called Tangle.
B: Thirty million? That's crazy! So, what's it for?
A: It’s kind of about setting goals for the day. It asks, "What's your intention?"
B: Seriously? Like a daily to-do list?
A: Kind of! You can share your goals with friends, too. They hope it helps people feel more… intentional.
B: Hmm, interesting. So, it’s still pretty new?
A: Yeah, it’s invite-only right now. And Biz Stone says it might change a lot before everyone can use it.
B: I see! Maybe it will be really cool one day!
