Show HN: Try my new app Miscon

Hey HN folks, would like to get some feedback on a new app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.miscon.miscon

Miscon offers a new way of communication and discovery. You can search and browse posts (AKA miscons) in various channels that interest you. Channel tags are free form, so be as creative as you’d like.

You can search channels by their tags, such as #miscon, or #people #OnCalTrain, or whatever. Someone might search for those tags as well and interact with you there. All while you’re being anonymous. Let’s see what miscons you come up with!

Any feedback would be appreciated. Thx!

Okay here's my feedback:

I know it's a new app, but I didn't get the concept of the app. What exactly is a miscon ? A Status update ? I also couldn't find examples of existing miscons.

If you're introducing a new concept, it's generally worthwhile to have some kind of intro with animations.

I hope that's helpful.

Animations? That's fancy! wanna help me out with that? :)

Although I agree the messaging is kinda confusing right now because not all of the the features I envisioned is there yet...

Wouldn't this be more appropriate for the "Show" section? The app looks kind of neat. I can't say much more than that as I don't own any Android devices.
