Hey, thanks!
My app is called Circles, and it will be launching on the App Store next month.
It’s built on Matrix to take advantage of their support for E2E encryption, so #4 about federation won’t be too difficult. At least not technically. And I’ll happily federate with anyone who agrees not to do ads or tracking.
The company is currently a Delaware LLC but will be converting to a public benefit corporation as soon as we get the thing off the ground.
But if someone builds this please worry about point four down the road. The other stuff is good enough!
I constantly see people just building 4 and then it never goes anywhere and it’s too complicated.
