Wait? These are TheCitySwig guys? Just to let you know your last website was so horribly insecure. It was like a whois who of Owasp Top 10 issues. Just letting you know in case you build something like that again... On topic of WeHighFive, I think it is a stupid idea. Takes one more step away from the paradigm of 'face-to-face' communication. At the very best, you're saving 30 seconds of time writing the text message, and wasting 3 minutes looking through all the texts you have to remember the person's name. Either ask the person their name again or say it a couple times in your head when you first meet them. With your app, when I re-meet someone, I have to look at my phone and figure out who they are again.

I'm sure it was our security issues that sunk us. Thanks for the feedback.

Downvoted for the unnecessary negativity x2. Fine, you think it's a stupid idea - just move on and close the tab then. Your opinion is just that: one person's opinion. If you want to offer the guy feedback on his app, go for it. But there's just no need to comment on HN on every app/idea you don't like/hate/think-is-stupid with "I think it is a stupid idea." Surely you have better ways to spend your time (as do I).

  Ha. Thanks. Isn't the point of this to save time or remember someone's name. Actually think about how your interaction with another person would go and how this app fits into that....It makes the interaction awkward and you probably won't even find their text message in time (your messages screen is a most recently used list...the message will be buried). Where is the plus side? I think the idea is stupid. If they like they are free to prove me wrong and show me it is a good idea. edit: I think sugar coating opinions so they have to be positive is pointless. Maybe me saying the app is stupid helps them realize some problem with their app that helps them improve it and make it much better (and then prove me wrong). If we were to Sugar coat all feedback then the feedback of horrible products will be indistinguishable from good products which makes it pointless.

    I really don't mind the feedback. If you don't get the use-case, you don't get the use case. No offense taken.
