HN Ask: Please Review My Startup Serkit Messenger
Hi,
I have build a new messenger to have both private and public chats simultaneously. With Serkit Messenger, user can make any of its chat conversation private by single click. Also, user can have both private and public conversation simultaneously.
Android: goo.gl/cGGKD9
iOS: goo.gl/d7iUec
I am looking for feedback on which market segment I should target first and how. Please advise.
Really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
- grymoire1 10y agoI saw no mention of the security design, so I can only conclude it provides no real privacy.
- serkitme 10y agoThank you for your response. For security design, do you mean encryption? We do TLS encryption of the messages once they leave the device (similar to most other messengers). Do you think we need to somehow provide this information to user?
- Amir6 10y agoAside from lack of security design, there is a contrast between putting privacy as a priority aspect of your app and number of permissions it requires!
- serkitme 10y agoAmir, Thanks for your response. COuld you please provide little more details on your comment? What do you mean by lack of security design? Are you suggesting, the app needs to ask for less permissions during install or during the operation?
- Amir6 10y agoYes, if private-ness of the conversations is a selling point for your app, your target market includes mostly of people who are concerned about how their data is being collected/used. By asking to access to pretty much everything that you can on Android, I dont see why people might install this app. I hope this helps:)
