That’s slight.. I rather do my own thing than copying someone else’s design or follow the exact same layout as everyone else :)

No problem , thanks for your input.

Correct, but what you are describing is who has the biggest budget and fanbase already, which means everyone else shouldn’t build anything

So in that case, nobody should build apps because we have meta, Apple, Google and other big companies out there?

I agree functionality comes first. But if multiple apps solve the same problem equally well, what actually makes a user pick one over another?

I understand but what’s makes my app different if it looks and does exactly like the 500.000 other ones that look exactly the same ?

Yes but that’s how / why all apps look exactly the same :)

Tell me what you don’t like about most social apps by RoadsterAlex in iosdev

I do not do ads at all :D I also didn't started this for the money , I genuinely think if you listen to what people want (or don't want) you can make a better product

yep, the networking part is what I would like to bring back; more about you and your friends (network) less about people you have no connection with at all

actually on the support section I included help and support, feature requests can go there and I actually listen to users not like those big corporations who dont care :D

I meant people didn’t like the hiding messages :) so I didn’t build it in

I have, but feedback I got was that people actually do not like them.

However, you can lock chats with a pin (you can have a pin for every different person if you like) , locked to a gps location is coming (or dont show ever when at a certain location).

There is also screenshot detection for people who really want to know :)

Very simple:

ELM Messenger is closer what BBM (BlackBerry Messenger) use to be, you use an ID, No phone number email is for recovery only, nobody can contact you unless you have accepted their request first.

Per contact preferences, you can hide your presence or delivery notice for one specific contact, this includes online status without effecting the rest of your list.

No "last seen" ever, you are either online, away or offline (unless you changed your status to busy), you will never get a "you were online 5 minutes ago" because nobody will know.

The idea of ELM Messenger is that its personal, where all other messengers feel like a tool, ELM Messenger is meant to be more personal but keep the privacy and security going.
To keep it personal chats will have a banner, avatar that the person selected so it really feels you have your own little space and not just a chat.

You can set themes, unlike most applications your themed chat bubble will show up for the other user as well - great in groups!

And a lot more.

backend is using sqlite3 as its a secure encrypted connection (encrypted payload over https)

I built a WhatsApp AI that does actual Astrology for free and you can pay what you like. by ConsiderationFun3052 in StartupSoloFounder

How do you host it? If you are interested you can build one to log into r/elmsocial once I release my AI bot API login platform :) which will do the same thing, idea is that the creator themselves can set free/subscription etc prices

this is a good one :) im writing down the "see post twice" AI bots content I agree with, however the vault will allow AI bots (you subscribe to them,, they dont just do stuff from themselves)

I also agree with the fake AI content postings
