Amazing app. Really great design on the homepage, too.

Looks like its similar to Path, but with multiple "paths". But, how is it different than the Google+ app?

  This looks super close to the Path app. Even some design elements.
- kurtvarner 15y ago
  Dave Morin is an investor, so Path probably doesn't see Everyme as direct competition. http://techcrunch.com/2011/10/18/andreessen-horowitz-crunchfund-tencent-back-intelligent-social-address-book-everyme/ http://techcrunch.com/2011/10/18/andreessen-horowitz-crunchf...

    Well I hope he has real faith in the company and the product, rather than it being a case of "OK, guys you've had a couple of months to play around with this idea, now let me acquire you for pocket change, and get your devs working on Path, the _real_ winner."

YC wins some and loses some. This seems to late to the market. Even the term 'circles' is already taken. However, I like their logo.

  Late is a relative term, just because they weren't the first does not mean they can't succeed. I'm sure you can think of plenty of examples for products that were not first but succeeded or even overshadowed their counterparts. It's all about the execution.
  - Radzell 15y ago
    Easiest example would be facebook and google who really weren't that innovative. This seems to come at the end of this pair, path craze.
  - philipithomas 15y ago
    Fair enough - I'm trying out the app now and I'll reserve further judgement until I've thoroughly tested it.

Seems like one summer to late if you would of released it in the summer you could of been path or pair because it's a combination of both. Seems like a lesson learned maybe sometime it's ok you just release a app instead of waiting until you feel like it's perfect.

Can someone explain these parts of the ToS to me: 4. User Content. You give Everyme permission to reproduce and use your User Content as follows: you grant to Everyme and its Affiliates a license to reproduce, distribute, display, perform, and otherwise use your User Content solely in connection with providing the Site and Services. (...) Finally, our license is perpetual, meaning that our license lasts for an indefinite period of time. In general, however (...) Who are the Affiliates, and what are the legal implications of a so-called perpetual, indefinite license? https://github.com/everyme/everyme-legal/blame/master/terms_of_service.md#LID33 https://github.com/everyme/everyme-legal/blame/master/terms_...

    It's not that I'm assuming that they're up to no good, I just don't like registering for a site I barely have any good description and introduction for - especially since Apple probably haven't patched the whole address book thing yet.

I'm sold, it's a mix of Path/Pair and I like the design of the app. However the problem is that I would need to convince my friends to use the App as well. I hope this takes off, I really do the Everyme team did a great job and I wish them the best!

Congrats on the launch! Landing page image scaling doesn't handle tall windows very well: https://skitch.com/keeran/8t355/everyme https://skitch.com/keeran/8t355/everyme

Awesome! I'm getting straight onto Google Play to download the... ...oh.
- collypops 15y ago
  Footnote: I don't really take issue with this being an iPhone exclusive for now. Getting to market is the most important thing, and I commend the team for making sure they got the app and the experience right in one environment, rather than trying to attack them all at once.

This meets a real need and the design looks fantastic. Waiting for the Android app!

this is way too complicated for mainstream users. didn't g+ prove that the circle designs while elegant really didn't take off at all? plus I hate their automatic lists, they're ridiculous and don't match my real-life "lists" at all. in zuckerberg's terms, nobody wants to make (nor maintain) lists, whether you call them circles or groups or whatever. Who the hell is going to spend hours refining their circles except from super privacy conscious hipsterhackers of the SV? I bet most people would rather go back to the ol'good plain dumbphone address book. with that said it is visually very appealing

If I have to convince my friends to use this it's not going to work. Spamming my family and coworkers with unsolicited email notifications is not a solution.

Nice logo.

Did they pivot? It didn't sound like the original description which I had the impression was around address books-only.
shadesandcolour 15y ago
So it's a mix of Path and Pair and Google Plus and a few other things probably. I'm all for trying but how many social networks are we really going to have. I was hopeful for Path but I can't seem to sell any of my friends on it
