Hey jeswin, first of all thank you for joining and giving it a try, it is really cool you giving it some of your time and helping out with some feedback. The question you ask is a very good one, and I guess one I was sort-of expecting, here is how I see evemi and why I think it is unique..

evemi is a platform for hanging out with new people that are similar to you, whereas I see Pinterest as more for self-expression. On evemi you follow the # hash-tag pages over following people (even though this is possible too) and anyone can post to these hash-tag pages too. I see the pages on evemi as individual communities that anyone can contribute to and follow and be a part of.. So for example if you are a designer you can reach out and post to the #design community on evemi and get some feedback and collaborate with other people around the world into design like you. The original idea was that I wanted a way to communicate with new people like me and I thought other people out there might feel the same way.

I guess I see evemi much like the forums we all grew up on and loved back in the good ol' days - it is a place to meet similar people and have a discussion around a shared interest.

Would love to know your thoughts on all of that jeswin - do you think there is something in all of that or do you think I am way off the mark lol!

"Hang out with people that are similar to you" is a great one-liner. You should open with that instead of "follow the things that you love".

Nice point depa, I think I have tried every one liner I can think of over the past few weeks but yeah I think you are right - after all that is what evemi is all about probably over following the things you love, thanks for that point.. Can't believe that after all of the this time searching for a good one-liner lol!

Thanks. Let me go through the app in more detail and will let you know.

Okay jeswin, looking forward to seeing what you think after a bit of a better look at it.

It's one of their first projects 6 months into learning how to code. Who gives a shit if it is like Pinterest.

Haha kreutz - I think the Pinterest question is one I might have to get used to answering but lol thanks for your encouraging response - maybe that should be mine too from now on haha.

Differentiation from Pinterest/other will be one of the key factors in their eventual success. From the emails that I've received, this project is trying to get users and move forward. This isn't merely a demonstration of what has been learnt in 6 months.

As such, debate on the differentiation aspect is fair and useful to the developers.

True jeswin, I am definitely interested in having some people give evemi a go, and I am not afraid of adapting the concept if it means it is more suited to what people want and will use.
