This is the worst attempt I've ever seen at building a social network. 3 out of 4 of the major social networks were started by 20-22yos, 4 out of 4 were initially for teens only, 3 out of 3 in the last 10 years were mobile-only, ios-only

I could go on forever but the point is it doesn't even get the basics right. If you're interested in how one builds a successful social network check Nikita's tweets (sold TBH to Facebook 2 years ago for $100M) https://twitter.com/nikitabier



> 4 out of 4 were initially for teens

Facebook was for college students, not teens.

But otherwise, yeah, if the plan is to capture a significant audience, this is a horrible attempt wrt to UI and messaging.


Not exactly large sample sizes. What social networks are ios only?
