Reactions, a new iOS app by Geohot: 2 cameras are better than one

You don't say anywhere what it actually does, in plain english. I'm guessing by one of the screenshots and the allusions that it takes a photo with your front and back camera at the same time.

To be honest, this site is a very developer/techie targeted. I don't think any average user would be interested in your app form this.

Edit: Also you have four tweet buttons, not sure if thats a bug or on purpose.

Edit 2: Ok didn't even see the top bar until I revisited for the third check over... Overall the whole site is really vague, I'd recommend going over and clarifying the copy, and making that nav more obvious.

And this is why I never post sarcastic jokes to Hacker News. :P

I'm so hoping you're just out-parodying the parody and not taking this seriously.

Are you implying this isn't a real app that will be available soon? I like to think I'm pretty good at "getting" hoaxes, and I'd definitely guess that this is "a real thing". (Though I wouldn't be shocked if it weren't...)

Edit: OK it looks like consensus is that this is satire. I still think it's kind of a neat idea, I admit it…

Oh don't you start!

"At Reactions, we offer you no way to save your pictures. If you want to save them, you have to share them. After a reaction is captured, you have 3 seconds to hit the unlabeled cancel button, or else your photo is automatically shared with all your Facebook friends."

It is a real app, I've used it. It was created at a recent hackathon called TartanHacks at Carnegie Mellon University. That doesn't change the fact that its satire, though!

OK that's what I was missing. :) I was thinking of "satirical" as meaning it was necessarily "not real".

It's a real app, and it's also satire.

Just like how a satirical movie is still a movie.
