Going to try and answer that with examples. Anything silly and whimsical. If you were to look at a teenagers phone and ask "what does this word mean, and this word, and this word." That is our audience. Example: "OMG LOL FML&

IRC! Usenet! BBSes! The last era of the net (since 2004) a lot of stuff went full real names, after facebook made it ok to put your name on the internet. We've started (re) discovering ways to connect which are less about real names.

Paul here. Happy to answer any questions you may have. facebook login is annoying but did get us out the door. poor grammar is intentional. We used to have the words "WUT" repeated 200x in the app store copy, but Apple politely to

Sorry about the typo. Sadly the update button does not appear to let me update the title. Trying to get more people to actually try out crypto currencies, rather than blog about them.

I actually did this policy to get one of my apps in the store. As more people eventually use it (and presumably good reviews roll in), I anticipate that I will be able to remove the features which I didn't think were needed. On the ot

I once had someone pitch me an idea for an app, which coincidentally I had actually built and was selling on the app store. He wasn't willing to pay 99cents for it (but had previously been willing to quit his job to make it hypothetically w
