@nikitabier @hiradary Why was it a dud?

@hiradary It was a dud. The point was to validate quickly and pivot with conviction.

In 2014, I wanted to test out an app concept and validate if it would work if a whole country was using it. So I launched it to the smallest App Store in the world: Malta. I called it “Maltalk” and it reached the number one spot in 48 hours with $500 of ads.

@yaling_jiang Maybe they finished shopping on 12.12

There are so many people doing their Christmas #citywalk on Shanghai's Yuyuan Road that the police found it necessary to install barricades in certain areas Few are carrying shopping bags though

Happy place. Seafood+ whisky = 🌤️🌁

Found this in Japan on my visit @jagat_app @jagatapp_jpn - ready to be the next gen default app 🇯🇵 @DIME_HACKS 🙏🙏

@TechCrunch Thanks @AiishaMalik1 for covering us. We’re still cooking up some exciting features. Stay tuned world! 🤹🏼‍♀️

Jagat, a location-based social network that focuses on real-life connections, surpasses 10M users tcrn.ch/3tmijar

@scottbelsky Inevitable. No one complained when we started e-mailing or whatsapping our business partners.

When taboos become the norm... Came across this graph from World In Data of the rise of "online dating" as the way people meet their spouse. My favorite new technologies transform norms...and this is a great example, and is one question I always ask myself as a product leader and investor. Online dating is perhaps one of the most demonstrative examples. When looking for new opportunities, always ask yourself, “what other taboos will soon become the norm?” Any others you've noticed?

We’re pretty excited about this one @jagat_app . Imagine @facebook groups but spatial, and you can share your updates and activities to your own global community. It’s only start, but more soon… ❤️

Jagat 2.0 is about discovering and finding friends. Get out there! 🏃🏽🏃🏽🍲🏄🏽🚴🏽‍♂️🤹🏼‍♀️🎤 @jagat_app

@nikitabier Would tend to agree. Especially for global apps. Users don’t tend to share via sms / imessage. They share invite links or usernames via pretty diverse channels. Secondly most use SSO these days for ease of onboarding, most of the time that is unlinked to phone numbers/contacts.

Bro your app doesn’t need access to Contacts. People can share usernames. You just open iMessage, DM your username to every single friend and hope they have the app. Then if they do, they just open the app, type in your 14-character-username and add you. If each user does this to every friend and each friend signs up at the same time and their friendlist grows at the same rate as everyone else’s, then you can all hit the Aha Moment simultaneously—just like you would with Contacts Access. And by the year 2035, your app’s social graph will be competitive with Instagrams. See, it’s super easy. Your app doesn’t need Contacts Access.

@aliceysu Btw big fan of the show. Why is it called drum tower?

Our third Taiwan episode addresses the nightmare scenario: invasion. Jack Yao, a Taiwanese volunteer who fought in Ukraine, tells us what he learned on the frontlines, and why the best way to prevent a war is to prepare for it economist.com/podcasts/2023/…

Finally got around to this. Already obsessed with the @OpenAI dev day updates. Back to basics live demo, real progress. Really exciting future. youtu.be/pq34V_V5j18?fe…

Pretty cute…@jagat_app #cats #caturday #CatsOfTwitter #cat

Here’s our “your world” feature. Helping you to document where you’ve been. Yes i was at @Starbucks in the boondocks of Indonesia @SbuxIndonesia - also tagging you

Always iterating on this, so feedback welcome 🙏🙇🏻‍♂️

We’re cooking something really special for @jagat_app . Rolling out what we call “mini-planets”. The goal: is help you find your people, connect , discover and hopefully hang out more

It’s like facebook groups but spatialized. You know where your global community is. We want our users to help each other discover great food around the world, discover other cat lovers, fitness junkirs and more..
