@rrhoover @karaswisher @devwastaken we both had bad experiences with groceries as children. prefer not to talk about it.
@rrhoover @karaswisher @bjnovak hahaha, we just wanted to make it super clear, in a fun way, that li.st is first and foremost about self-expression. that said, if you wanna express yourself through your groceries, go for it! i do think it might scare people to see a grocery list that just said "1000 cases of La Croix", though.
@devwastaken you just inspired me to create a list of my favorite LaCroix flavors. #teamcoconut
@bjnovak @rrhoover @karaswisher @devwastaken that slogan tho! Instantly thinks, oh another list app. Read's slogan, laughs, downloads. Def. get it right away with the no groceries quip. Feels a little like a Rex.is type app. Don't know why but I'm kind of afraid of getting really deep in Pintrest for some reason, but there is stuff all over the web I'd love to log to a shareable list. Maybe this is that for me. Congrats on launch.
We've been using li.st (formerly, The List App) at Product Hunt to create lists on anything from:
• Kobe Bryant's Last Game (in GIFs)
• Tesla Model 3 Launch Event (in GIFs)
• Must Have Menu Bar Apps for Mac (very popular list)
• Community App Recommendations (an open list that people can add to)
• Product Design Books Not About Product Design (via @HunterWalk)
• Tim Ferriss Book Recommendations (via @tferriss)
• Lots of other cool lists :)
A few more things:
• The app is super well designed and is a joy to use
• What I mean by that is, it makes me want to keep making more lists
• The format is really enjoyable to consume and browse through, particularly on mobile
• We'll keep making a lot more lists :)
In case you missed it...
• @bjnovak and @devwastaken were on stage at TC Disrupt in New York this week
• The List App --> li.st (because cool companies drop the "the" ;)
• And because there's a web version coming out soon 👀
• And the big news is...
• li.st is now available on Android!

@nivo0o0 @hunterwalk @tferriss @bjnovak @devwastaken Great summary, Niv! Also thanks for sharing some of the lists the PH team have created - the Menu Bar Apps for Mac is awesome!
i've been so impressed w this product since day 1. such good stuff on it. congrats you guys!
@nivo0o0 soon! it's our #1 priority right now. Expect to release in early summer! It will be a fully functional web product, with all the features you've come to love on the li.st mobile app.
@devwastaken awesome! ya i've been on the beta and it's great as a "utility" -- but unlike the mobile app, which makes me want to list more things (so excited for it to come out :)
There are always very nice comments/responses at the bottom of the @ProductHunt lists we make. 😊 How do you guys think about community, and have you done anything specific to grow it / built the li.st community?
@nivo0o0 @producthunt Our private beta period was over 7 months long, and the community grew very, very slowly (intentionally so) from double digits to ~5000, largely through friends inviting friends inviting friends and so on. It was obvious very early on that self-expression was going to be the key use of the product, and I think that personal vibe combined with a small, very tight beta community created a strongly positive energy in the community. It's been incredible to watch that energy flourish as the community grows. It hasn't lost a step.
I've been so impressed w this product since day 1. Such great stuff on it. Congrats you guys!
Oh my god, I love this! Easily sharing lists is such an obvious thing to do, but putting them out there socially, like PH have, is genius. New fan!
Rename to "Li.st for Android"? I dig the app, but this is technically a repost (https://www.producthunt.com/tech...).
@gvinter Maybe Flaherty and Novak did not get any visitors from the first PHD. Nice trick however and there is no time information anywhere.
@ems_hodge hey! what i'd say is that there's a common purpose amongst the vast majority of lists, and that's self-expression.
Like the concept. Personally really like the "choose 5 photos at random" lists, but don't feel a drive to post much.
I’m building a social app (https://list.app) where users can create their own lists, and/or adopt items from others to create the perfect list to use and share. @bjnovak, @devwastaken,
@jeremysomething, would love to chat with you about your experience building li.st and lessons learned.
I've been waiting for li.st for Android since I heard about it from BJ Novak at the Tim Ferriss Show. The motivations for this app are really simple, and what BJ Novak learned launching it are great lessons for any aspiring entrepreneur http://fourhourworkweek.com/2015...
@nakurane thank you! glad you're enjoying it. would love to hear more specific thoughts on why, though! always helpful for me.
Yo ~ cool product!
Q:
A lot of times students can be the drivers of virality for a product. What are you doing to make that customer fall in love?
