Same! I've worked with Simon on this and tried (and failed) to port it to web. Truly a smart guy - and congratulations to the rest of the team!

Same as last month (no update). Any insight would be awesome!

I’ve deleted all my social media apps. I’m trying to see what’s missing in my life in terms of interacting with friends and family and trying to build it.

that's really cool, instead of installing instagram daily - I found it easier to visit instagram.com. It's so bad that you'll only use it for a little bit before you have to close it
Re:Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (February 2025) on Monday February 24, 2025 @01:47AM (#43156495)
I’ve deleted all my social media apps (including YOU - LinkedIn).

I’m trying to really see and feel what’s actually missing in my life and trying to build it. Right now I just want to see what my friends are up to in a non-curated way.

I'm not trying to develop on iOS devices, rather I'm trying to create an alternative to XCode like AppCode (was)

that's an interesting perspective, curious to what your reasons are for avoiding expo in production?

That's really cool - never heard of Beme. I wonder how it would work today.

1. Record a video (ask a question, give a life update etc). 2. Users could respond back with videos

It's basically like Snapchat but in a public forum

Ask HN: What's Missing in Social Media?

hi hn!I've worked at some social companies in the past (IG and Snap) and I'm curious as to what the next big social media platform might look like.It seems to me that social media has already gone through several phases:- Text-based platforms like early forums and blogs.- Image-centric networks like Instagram and Snapchat.- Video-focused apps like TikTok and YouTube (Shorts).- Community-driven...

Hey Resend team! Love your product!

I was wondering when / if you'll be supporting inbound email parsing / webhooks. It's the one thing that's preventing me from switching over.

Love what you're doing - keep it up!

Ahhh I regret not have a landing page buttt...

I'm making a social media app called Spotted. It's aiming to combine the visual messaging aspects of Snapchat and IG Stories with the "opt-in" features of recent apps like Gas and BeReal

Hopefully looking to launch soon!

Re:Ask HN: Startup Ideas on Thursday April 29, 2021 @12:36PM (#26983305)
I'm assuming you're asking for some ideas, or about how to think of them. I could give you a list of a thousand ideas but it doesn't really matter unless you're passionate about them.

Instead I would focus on an issue that you've experienced, perhaps something that you find annoying and can build a solution for. It's highly likely that someone else has the same problem as you and is willing to pay for a solution to it. You get two benefits, one is that it's something that you've experienced so you're probably passionate about building a solution for it, and second it's a problem that exists instead of creating a solution in chase of a problem.

This article gets posted a lot, but I think it's worth a good read.

This blog post helped me a lot as well. It helped me get better as seeing problems and thinking of solutions to them:
