Is this dead now?

App discovery is a huge problem. This is a great way to discover what apps your friends are using.

This is awesome! Sadly, none of my friends are using it... Yet :) The top apps I don't have are Twitter and Spotify, which makes sense since I just use competing apps for these functions.

Reminds me of something :) Watch out for Apple reaction....#justsaying

This is awesome! Huge fans of @astaub, @greegley, and @dannycosson. Nice work, guys.

We’re so excited to announce the Mave iPhone app on Product Hunt. We believe the apps you’re most likely to want are the apps your friends are using. So, we’re making it easier for you to find them. Our mission is to help companies leverage social proof for growth. Our first product was a drop-in invite page that helps an app’s users invite lots of friends. This is working great for apps with strong invite incentive, but we want to help all apps grow through social proof. We started thinking about how hard it is to recommend apps to friends (digitally). You need to either choose friends to recommend it to and send a message or share it on a feed that’s normally reserved for news and photos. You need to be really motivated. Shouldn’t sharing knowledge about apps be more implicit? Why can’t I see what apps my friends use? Or share all the apps that I use with my friends? So we built the Mave app, a new way for users to share and discover apps and a new growth channel for app developers. It’s kind of like the inverse of invites. Instead of someone having to explicitly tell friends about new apps they are using, their friends can take a look, whenever they want. Looking forward to your feedback!

This needed to happen. If only someone could do this effectively for movies and tv shows, that would rock!

Wow - it looks almost identical with the project that I'm currently working right now - but for Android. Good job. Do you plan an Android version also?

Check this app out guys! I previously used home screen for app discovery, but I love the fact that it's connected to my friends & can send me notifications based on what's trending among them! Very cool & a must have for anybody who is into mobile app trends ☺️

@astaub, @greegley & @dannycosson -- such a cool idea... I'm always asking my friends for app recommendations, this streamlines the process. Upvoted! We're actually featuring social startups in our next batch of companies on RocketClub, so we think Mave would be a fit. Would love to continue the conversation if you guys are interested (c/f today's Product batch http://www.producthunt.com/tech/...)

Apple is literally killing all app discovery apps. This is why we went with Android with @tappthatappio.

Not available in US?

Anything that improves app discovery is a plus. None of my friends are currently using Mave. I'll invite some close friends but I get the feeling I won't find anything surprising on their phones. I'd be more interested to get app recs from acquaintances/FOFs. Also would love to see apps ranked by total usage if that data is available. If not, maybe their position on the home screen or bottom bar could serve as a proxy. Congrats on the launch and good luck going forward!

How does this actually find apps on the device? Checking for registered URL scheme handlers?

Congrats, @astaub and team!
