I compare Peach to status updates people used to make on Facebook (and how some people use Twitter). Interesting product, not much value proposition yet but it's fun to update your friends and keep track of what you do. Can't wait to see what their next steps are!
Also add me, I'm @tiff
@tzhongg thought the same thing at first, but like I said in my comment above the magic words are a big one. I definitely see a decent amount of possibilities. Like most (new) social networks, I'm a bit iffy but enjoying this so far. Ultimately depends on how active my network is on it which will determine my usage.
@rrhoover@tzhongg seems like every product is trying to recreate AIM from 99/2000 era. Peach definitely has something going. This start reminds me of the earliest days of Path.
@imcatnoone@tiffany_hardin I do not think it will find a place on our home screen as a new social app. I believe it will have to replace a bunch of trending apps to carve a niche for itself. Its capitalizing on mainstream behaviors/features of various other apps. Takes the sliding interface from Snapchat and Spontaneity from Twitter. Facilitates both short and long form content. Makes the Slack commands much better. Has an Instagram-like feel for pic sharing/uploading. It has some obvious pain points like lack of integrations with FB, discovery issue, fake accounts etc. I believe its probably on their short term roadmap. I really like the concept. Very thoughtful and its kind of breaking out of the bay area which is known for false positives whenever a new thing pops up. Enough ranting. I write a lot about 🍑 on 🍑. Username - @sarthakgh 😄😄
Interesting. This is by the team that made Byte, which launched only 4 months ago. Are you working on both apps, @dhof? Super curious to learn more.
EDIT: I'm rrhoover 🍑 and here's my first post:
Looks cool 😄 claimed my dream username @ad ,also my first choice of gif went really well with the follow up onboarding copy...having problems finding friends with my address book, I have a non us phone number and everytime trying to add it when requested I get a "something went wrong" kind of error 😟
@adrianleb They have a beta version with a fix. I just got access and it works!
I guess you can join the beta too if you contact the Peach team at hello@peach.cool 📧😊
Absolutely love the concept of and possibilities that come with magic words. Huge differentiator to every other social platform.
Not to mention the super friendly copy and ease of use. Only downside is that I can't use social networks to find friends and it also isn't letting me scan my address book.
Regardless, I'm looking forward to continuing using it and seeing how it fits into my day to day with friends.
Oh and I claimed the username @cat — what a score! That has never happened as far as I can recall unless it was my own product. Add me! 🎉
@imcatnoone Love the onboarding - guides you through stepwise and you can act on everything that you get taught. Permissions are done well, except the push notifications - which comes up straight away without warning (sigh, why do you people still do this?) but otherwise good example to review for other folks looking to improve their user onboarding.
Giving it a shot, but not sure if 'be yourself' applies - still think the social pressure of having an audience will apply here if it doesn't already, unlike with anonymous apps (Secret's tagline was 'Speak Freely', 'Be yourself' etc. too).
Dang, no droid support. Seems cool, kind of like snapchat stories but without being constrained to needing a photo or video backdrop for updates. Will play with it when I get the chance.
Many are comparing 🍑 to Snapchat and Twitter. Here are a few quick observations on what makes it unique:
1) Users are incentivized to post more often to bump their profile to the top of their friends' feed.
2) Unlike Twitter, no one person can spam your feed (as @joshconstinenoted on Twitter). Each post is grouped with your profile.
3) Similar to Snapchat, you must friend someone to see their feed, with exception to the friends of friends feed.
4) Unlike Snapchat, you can find new people in the friends of friends feed, although a chronological list probably isn't the best sorting.
5) The more friends you have, the further your posts spread via the friends of friends feed.
We've been having fun with the @ProductHunt 🍑 account, seeing as much/sometimes more engagement than on Twitter, although anything new often attracts more attention at first.
I said it on Twitter but I love this thing in the strangest way possible. It is like Path in the early days and like Twitter in the early days in that no-one knows what it is and why we need it, what it can do and how we're supposed to use it, but that's its strength. It's fantastic. We'll keep discovering and I hope this succeeds.
