Yeah but would be cool to have an area to share "stories," text messages, video calls, grocery lists, etc. Maybe there is money in integration wherein if my partner likes a Chanel purse on FB or Pinterest the partner app let's me know so I can buy it dir her.

  Or... you could just have a conversation like normal people.

    He's saying more along the lines of having a social media profile (like Facebook) that represents 2 people.

      That actually doesn't seem to be what he's saying. "Share grocery lists." That's what a couple would share with each other, not to their other friends. > my partner likes a Chanel purse on FB or Pinterest the partner app let's me know And seriously, it sounds awful. This is how you expect technology to benefit humanity?

        Yes. And what's wrong with that? Until the brightest minds apply themselves to solving real problems the least they can do is solve small problems instead of making solutions for problems that dont exist.

    Or you could kiss my ass and stop being snippy. Online interaction is not exclusive to conversation and intimacy. I dont have time or inclination (nor does she) to sit on the couch and say "look at this photo I took at lunch" or "what does next weeks evening calendar look like.." An app could solve that. Well.

      You don't have time to sit on a couch and talk about your day together?

        Of course we do. And that's for the important stuff. Social media is largely garbage so sharing the small stuff would be useful.

        Have you never been to a restaurant and see a couple together more interested in their phones than each other. (A casual observation of mine is that it is usually better looking couples that do this, but not exclusively. Maybe the constant need to be on social media forces them to pay more attention to their appearance and less on their conversation).

  But all of that already exists. A million chat apps that also do video calls, todo apps, etc. Even Google photos casually asked me to add my SO so they can view my photos. I think that most people could do all of that adfree without installing another app. The innovation would just be centralization. Which only benefits the company centralizing.
