Hi!

The original idea was to have short messages that disappear after being read so that people only send you relevant details.

I want to add more features and more way to communicate in the future.

The fact that it doesn't tell you when someone is typing and you don't get notified when someone unsends a message reduced a lot of anxiety.

Sorry if I wasn't clear, I was more asking who is your target user? What problem are they trying to solve with this? How does this app better suit them than your competitors?

Hey Dan,

I'll try my best to answer your questions.

The target user is anyone who wants to communicate without worrying about message permanence or risk being tied to the message they sent.

The sender's details are not included when a message is viewed making the app screenshot friendly. Screen recording won't get you very far either.

Coincidentally, the way in which the app was designed solves many privacy concerns highlighted in Zuckerberg's privacy manifesto - https://www.facebook.com/notes/mark-zuckerberg/a-privacy-foc...

If the details are important, wouldn't it be better to have them not disappear?
