Product: Simple iOS app to save, share, and discuss things you enjoy (articles, movies, music, etc.) with your real friends, and escape the bullshit of traditional social media.
Hurdles (in addition to a highly competitive market):
(1) We are struggling to get users to share items using our app instead of text/SMS;
(2) Sharing items with non-users is not an appealing experience;
(3) We need to make UI and functionality improvements.
Help: We think building an iMessage app would encourage users to connect with our platform through their regular texting habit. We’d like to get feedback from the Hacker News community on whether building this or any other feature will allow our app to be commercially viable, or if we should scrap the project.
