This is a gorgeous app - look at that icon.

Evan Reas is incredibly driven and is going to make something work via sheer force of will.

> going to make something work via sheer force of will

Ha I remember thinking that was possible when I started building companies.

Turns out it takes will + many years.

Both elements are necessary. The time is an unknown variable, but the great thing about startups is as long as you have the will and keep pushing (and learning), something will work.

this actually looks pretty good, first time I say this for a location-baed app.

Well appreciated :)

What happened to Likealittle and LAL?

Likealittle seems to have died. It was a very clever, savvily marketed, but faddish idea that probably could have been leveraged into a college dating platform, but the product never seems to have evolved.

Circle looks like a great pivot though. From my brief experiment with Highlight (deleted for being a useless battery drain,) this looks like it got a few more things right.

Had nothing to do with faddish idea. They dramatically changed the design and that killed it.

love the UX.

Outside of Google, it's rare to see a seriffed font for branding in this kind of app. It stands out.

http://getarrived.com is a similar app.

does anyone else think its weird that the majority of the reviews are either 5 stars or 1 stars?
