Congrats on getting this ‘joke’ off the ground!
I think the greatest potential of this app thus far is that your development and especially overhead costs have been very low. You may be able to add some functionality that does differentiate it from iMessage and attract a user base.
I like the interface, especially the desktop one. It looks less like a messaging app and more like a note-taking or collaborative app, not sure if that indicates the direction you want to go.
- RenderedCarrot 5y agoThank you, good observations. Yes, we have designed and built the system in a way that can be sustainable with a reasonably small investment or number of paying users. It’s very intentional to not have pressure for quick growth and “monetizing”, and we can take a bit of time to figure it out. I agree with your “note-taking or collaborative” sentiment. We aim to provide a different experience from many other chat apps. More… calm? Professional? Boring? Serious? Respectful? We haven’t quite figured out the adjectives, but yes, it is intentional.
- steveylang 5y agoThe other idea that comes to mind is something in between push messaging and email. Something more designed for thoughtful discussions than quick SMS ‘on the way!’ type bits. Email can obviously cover that but is very multi-purpose and not necessarily ideal either. Then there are apps like Slack or Discord, but those aren’t exactly the same either (and are server-based.)
