Show HN: Shorty – iOS Chat app that forces people to write meaningful messages
- imrev 12y agoHello Guys, I hate when people sends me one sentence in 4-5-6 messages with 5-10 min time difference, therefore I created Shorty. It shows only the last message of the conversation so you must compose meaningful messages with much content as you can. Please tell me if you don't like something, I appreciate any criticism. Thanks, Imre
- markchatkhan 12y agoI like the dinosaur and the design.
- imrev 12y agoThanks! It's my favorite design that I ever made, it was a huge advantage, that nobody said me what to do or don't do. I tried to design the dino too, but my version was not so good, therefore I asked one of my friend to do it.
- aarondf 12y agoI'm not sure I understand what it does. It doesn't keep chat history?
- imrev 12y agoYes, it displays only one message, the last message of the conversation.
- girinambari 12y agoBy displaying only one message how can you back up that users will be forced to write meaningful messages? Is there any behavioral science you have observed?
- imrev 12y agoMy personal experience is that after a few messages almost every user used to it. It is obvious there will be users who won't like it and it's not the best messaging app for business talks or conversations where msg history is important.
