Brilliant idea! Can you say a few words about how you will protect user data? (What I really want is I want every developer of any such app tied to the mast like Odysseus because we've seen what the sirens song of growth based investments from venture capital funds can do even to nice and smart people line the WhatsApp founders ;-)

Can't agree more. If you are wondering how much main stream social apps are sharing, you can see a summary at this link. https://www.facebook.com/off_facebook_activity/activity_list. Mine has over 2,000 websites that are sharing data back.

We have thought about monetizing down the line, but on principle I’m completely opposed to any model re ads/user data. We’d treat it like a tool you pay a one off price for.

Data privacy is something we can be more explicit about (thank you for highlighting this - will work on it). Re developers, it’s just my husband and I at the moment, and we’re just building it because we want it to exist.

If you want to email me any questions/concerns, I’m [email protected] :)

The privacy policy you have currently does not mention what you do with the content that users share with each other.

Do you provide this information to third parties?
