- kposehn 15y agoHaven't seen block chalk before - looks like no longer in the App Store. Thanks for telling us :)
- angryasian 15y agothey've pivoted because the idea didn't work, its now http://blockboard.org/ http://blockboard.org/
- kposehn 15y agoLooking at what they have now, they have a pretty different value proposition. I wish them the best with the pivot :)
- angryasian 15y agojust wondering what you think the difference in value proposition is ?
- kposehn 15y agoWell, BlockBoard looks more like a message board of commerce or friendly happenings. They want you to be identified as a person, which means you won't necessarily want to connect with everyone nearby. For example, you don't really want to post in something like that that you think the Raiders are a terrible football team...at the raiders game...with your name on what you post along with a photo. You can get decked for it :P What they appeal to more is those tightly knit communities of neighbors talking with each other and doing things, much different then we are. Thotly is about ideas and what means something to you. Right now, what is happening or what you think. Soon, photos then sounds, music, questions, answers, whatever. We want to give people a way to say what they think and to be rewarded for that expression. Think more like an idea forum than a bulletin board of stuff. BlockBoard has something good I think, but we aimed for something really different. In the end though, it comes down to how people want to use it - that is our number one focus.
