I'm glad you like it. You're right, my friend and I've been thinking about doing something like this, but maybe in a more sleek way, maybe the app would start out with help messages, and users would just flip thorough them - not obstructive, yet gets the point across.
Did you find the Easter egg?
If you have any more suggestion, please feel free to let us know.
FlipFeed is an ephemeral photos and messages app where you get 30 seconds before a new photo or message is flipped open. (Or you can swipe if you wish to skip).
You can post photos, and messages, and you can even directly reply to anyone on the app to start a private conversation.
iOS app is available in the App Store. And Android users, please go to http://flipfeed.co and signup to get notified when FlipFeed Android is available.
lol, where did I say you people are wrong. I've, in fact, said "thank you" for the feedback.
I didn't mean it that way, anyways, sorry if you think that way.
If the app's got problem, sure, I'll fix it. But I've tested it on multiple devices, and there are definitely a few people who have used it, and it has worked. I didn't test on ipod touch, so I can't say for sure if it'd work on it. I had built it mainly for iPhone, but the way it works is if you select device family 1, ipod touch gets included. And this person's review says something like ipod user.
So, the app could've crashed, because it was ran on a device I didn't build for? idk. I'll be taking a closer look next time.
Hmm. The people I've talked to so far think this app has a place, it's not "nothing" definitely. But, I think I do need to work on the pitch more. Clarify it to the point that people can associate them or their lives with the app, and realize why they need to use it.
About taking it hard. Believe me, it has been insane the last few weeks. After working so hard, launching this, writing emails and contacting so many people and whatnot, when absolutely nothing happens, it feels bad.. True, no one is obliged to use it, or even look at it, but ya, it felt bad. Nothing much. :) It might look like it, but I didn't take it that bad. I've gone through this type of stuff in this field before, and the thing is - take the rejection, learn from it, move on, and build something even better next time.
I posted this is another reply, but the main purpose of this app is to share your life anonymously. Take a bunch of pics to create a broadcast story, give it a caption, and broadcast. Now anyone with the app can see it. It's like how Secret and Whisper are, but with Broadcast, you are part of an anonymous network. Another huge difference between those apps and Broadcast is that you can take more than a single pic. Why's this of importance? Because many times when you need to share something, you can just snap-snap-snap (or choose) multiple pics easily, and share. This creates a broadcast story, and aligns more with expressing yourself.
Yeah, and that's another thing when the app is new. It's kind of a human nature to quickly write a bad review, than a good one. I'm in touch with the App Store on the removal of that review, because it doesn't accurately represent the app's functionality.
Back to the main point... I do have 186 broadcasts, and each of these broadcast stories have 1 or more pics. I love taking pics, and sharing with the world, and I have uploaded quite a lot of content. I do agree with you that the apps like mine can have chicken-egg issue, but when there are in total 300+ pics to get started, you'd think at least someone would be interested.
The app has anonymous profiles, so it is an anonymous network, where you can follow other users, like their broadcasts, comment, etc.
The purpose of this app is, you take pics (random, nature, selfie, whatever you like) and anonymously share with the world by creating a broadcast story (that can have 1 or more pics). Kind of like Tiiny by Kevin Rose, but in a network.
Yeah, I know what you're saying - if you're anon., how will you tell your friend "Hey, I'm on this by this name, let's share pics."
I created a Snake game in HTML5 that I wanted to let you guys know about. A weekend project, if you will. It started out as learning about the canvas element in html5, and then the experimentation matured into this snake game.
Again, the url is snakeplay.com.
How to play: You use up, down, left, right arrow keys to move around. Couple things to keep in mind are that the snake can overlap on itself, which is different from other snake games. Also, something different is that if the snake is going, say, North, then you can directly press the down arrow key to make it go South. So, the snake can return back on itself. Depending on the type/mode of the game, the game is completed when the hunger of the snake is 0, or when the snake reaches the goal apple.
Designing your own map: Using the map designer, users can design their own levels, and other users can play them. It is very simple to use. You can create maps of different sizes, you can place snake, place obstacles (paint/erase one obstacle or a group of obstacles), set hunger or set goal apple, set number of lives, preview the map, and save. Once saved, other members can then play the map, and like the map.
I still want to add a few more things to this game, but as time permits.
Hope you guys like the game though. Please pass the word to your friends and other snake-game lovers. :)
Feel free to provide input.
Thank you very much!
