Show HN: Built a social network where your friends can't see your posts
I noticed I had reduced my posts to Facebook because I was self-conscious about what people would think. At the same time, I had an urge to post so I could receive validation by way of likes.
- suvozit 12y agoWhy not 'Sharing things anonymously'? Giving user a secret pen name or internet username to publish post.
- jpetersonmn 12y agoI don't get it. If you're friends don't see what you post, why have the friends then?
- victorology 12y agoYour friends list tells us who we shouldn't show your posts to. I came up with this concept because I noticed I was getting satisfaction from receiving likes on my posts but was sharing less and less because I didn't want my friends thinking, "yet another food photo."
- jpetersonmn 12y agoSo this is like a facebook app? Or you can use it independently without facebook?
- victorology 12y agoIt's currently a Facebook app but we plan to offer other avenues of registration soon.
- dh9kim 12y agoThis concept is interesting. Haven't tried it out yet but will be interested to see what kinda of activities I get on here. If your friends aren't on there then you're basically showing your stuff to everyone? So these new people might become your friends... If they do become your friends, does that mean you filter them out as well? Would love to hear the thought behind this ;)
- victorology 12y agoYes, your posts get shared to everyone but your friends. If you have friends of friends on the service, you will see a feed of just that group. We currently use Facebook to build the social graph so if you become friends on Facebook, that person would be filtered out. Later, we plan on supplementing this with the address book as well.
- dkim91 12y agovery unique concept. I like the idea
