Love the idea and how it looks but, I can't follow anyone if I don't invite friends? Looks like I can only invite via mail or text, no Facebook?
We're doing the Instagram for vinyl record lovers, give it a try! We're secretly online fixing the last things before the official launch - bit.ly/needle_appstore
Yes that would be nice, but I was thinking of a character that is not "commonly" used while chatting, to avoid boring pop up while writing normal things
it is different than a link in the same way that @ will link to a user. The ~ will trigger the list of my object to share. You know when in Instagram you start typing @ it return the list of user you want to mention? Same goes with the ~ but it return the list of the object I've posted
I forgot to say that Needle it's a mobile app, so it's complicated to use hyperlinks and other things.
I don't think is complex, I think is very usefull. A trigger to an object I want to share.
Think of Instagram, in a comment of an another user you want to show a pic you made of the same subject: Hey @user check my ~objectID looks similar
When the user start ~ Instagram will return the thumbnail of my pics, I can choose the one I want and bam I've created a direct link to one of my pics. Same goes for Twitter and other apps.
Sure there's other things to think about how it could work in Instagram but it could be an idea.
Ideally I was thinking to let user filter only through the album they have uploaded. This to avoid to filter thousands of vinyl records in our database.
About the same title I guess that a solution might be the one I've written to chton down here
yea it's tru that you actually lose the actual name, however when the user click it will see the real title. Let's say that it could be a shortcut.
A good "workaround" might be that the ~ trigger the list of album in my collection (for example ~r filter the album title that start with r) once I click the album I want in the comment will appear the full clickable title so: Todd Terje - Ragysh
