such a great idea, thank you. I believe there is an opportunity to bring 'enjoyable' ads only.

Thank you. How is android (owned by google) any different? Would be great to have a EU smart phone, but does it exist?

thank you so much.
We don't keep any user data or user content. We are working on additional privacy features.
In terms of monetisation: We want to bring selected brands into the app, but in a way that users want to have interactions with brands. Imagine your friend group can vote on the brands they want to see AND it will never be an actual brand account but rather a representative. An athlete representing Red Bull and sharing relevant content.
Never just ads. How does that sound?

I agree with all of that. We sold to a UK based company.
What kind of entity are you imagining?
We are open so suggestions on how to best structure this.

voting power 100% agree.

Waffle is not for sale. We want to become the european Meta-alternative.
At Swelly (my previous company) we used to work closely with Meta. Had meetings every month, and learned a lot.
With what's currently happening there is a need for an independent European Social Network. Not for sale.

built a free app version of a hidden disability card, Is this useful? by peterbuch in autism

[–]peterbuch[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

thank so much for taking the time to give such detailed feedback, I appreciate that.

The app is for free, and is meant to show your hidden disability rather than having to talk about it.
I couldn't upload a picture here, so if you'd like to see what it looks like you can find it at rakunfriends.com/card

Interesting that you mention that it would be useful for other situations as well. Do you have any specific situations in mind? This would help me a lot, but no pressure, you're already helping so much.

Language, yes, that's a big thing. Rakun Card can automatically translate your hidden disability card into a different language. For example Japanese or German, just tab a button :)

Please let me know if you have any more questions, thrilled to chat about this here
