Thanks Montrose,

We built this product as an experiment to document experiences in a much easier way than writing a blogpost.People who are not interested in blogging could tell a cohesive story by stitching a set of posts which are easier to understand.

We are trying to experiment this and see if it could be used as a microblogging tool for experiences and stories as an alternative to writing a blogpost.

We will surely reflect on your feedback but if you have anything that we could look to pivot can be helpful for us to consider from here on.

thanks again

What do you and your friends want so much that, if someone else built it, you'd start using it immediately?

If it’s an experiment, then one possible outcome is lack of success. Maybe you’ve learned it’s not a solution with a lot of demand. This comment is not intended as a critique of your work, just pointing out a possible outcome may not be the outcome you wished for.

It seems so similar to blogging to me, I find it hard to see the difference, personally.

The difference is here the posts are structured into threads to make it easier to convey a story than writing a blogpost.
