Time will tell I suppose. It depends on your definition of "messy". Life is messy, right? Through that mess we've managed to capture some real beauty too. One user shared the emotion of her college graduation, as it was happening. It wasn't staged, it was what she was doing at that random moment. The top platforms are so... perfect. Everything is choreographed. It's the highlight reel. There is certainly an audience for that and I don't disparage them at all. I believe there is an audience for a more genuine platform too. One where the posts are spontaneous and unfiltered. No one is perfect on Snacktime, and I think that reduces the friction and intimidation I see other social platforms. But if it only gets used to share moments between friends, I'll take that a win. Appreciate your comment, thanks.

Social media has become inauthentic. My feeds are clogged with people sharing their highlight reel, just the most perfectly framed and staged version of themselves. And that's fine, there is a place for that.

I wanted to build something that aimed to be a little more genuine.

Snacktime is a social app with a twist. At a random time during your day, Snacktime sends an alert. You have just minutes to capture and share the moment you are in.

There's no time to change clothes.

There's no time for infinite takes to get the perfect shot.

There's no time to run to the beach and pose with a dolphin.

Snacktime is raw, it is messy, it is joyous, it can be sad, and it is genuine.

My name is Joe and I’m so happy this thing is finally out in the world. I've been working on it for 3 years, I learned 8 new languages and frameworks, a decent chunk of AWS, culminating in 7 distinct projects and a shocking amount of code written. It is, by far, the largest software endeavor I’ve ever attempted. I can't wait to see how people use it.

Snacktime is currently only available for iPhone. An Android version is coming soon.

I'd prefer not to say. It was in the thousands but cheaper than I originally thought.

Reddit is great if you find the right subs and lock your feed down to just those.

I’ve actually really been enjoying TikTok now that the algo has my interests dialed in.

Shameless plug, I just released a social media app on Friday: snacktime.com

Can you beat the clock and show the world your authentic side?

My name is Joe and I’m so happy this thing is finally out in the world. It’s been a grueling 3 years of development, 60-70 hour weeks, I learned 8 new languages, culminating in 7 distinct projects and a shocking amount of code written. It is, by far, the largest software endeavor I’ve ever attempted. If Snacktime adds even the slightest bit of joy into the world it will have all been worth it. I can't wait to see how people use it.

Would be great if each section linked to a description of the functionality. This would help new users and those trying to level up skills. Sure you can just Google it, but it would make this chart that much more useful.

FWIW AWS recently added DynamoDB integration support for it.

We're using TitanDB. One of the main benefits for us is that AWS has provided backend integration with DynamoDB. This affords you practically infinite and painless scaling on a pay-as-you-go model. Love it.

Whoa.

The value of Etsy changed when Amazon entered its space. It is objectively worth less now that the 800 lb gorilla has decided to eat Etsy's lunch.

Calm down. It is the US Govt requiring this form. Apple is only passing along the requirement.

All fine and well until the drone army comes online.

Only half kidding.

Has Apple ever chosen a non-native app for its annual design awards?

I guess you've never heard of pre-paid credit cards. You can buy them with no ID from Wal-mart, etc.

But consumers are unlikely to receive any money from the fine, which will go instead to the U.S. Treasury, said the agency official.

Well why the hell not?? If we were the wronged party, should we not benefit from the settlement directly?

Sure. Similarly Google is just a bunch of commodity off-the-shelf hard drives.

I'm having trouble thinking of something more Canadian than skating to work.

An exceedingly large number of people distrust science not because they've been paying attention to it, but because someone told them to distrust it. They couldn't care less about the rigor behind the science if it differs from their own worldview. We have an enormous problem of flat out science rejection in the US for no other reason than politics and religion.

Bought!

You might consider listing some example searches under the search box. My initial impression is that I'm not quite certain what I'm supposed to be searching for.

Amazing that even our most cutting edge power generation schemes are still just steam engines under the hood.

I was luck enough to score an after hours (nightime) guided tour of the Basilica (including this chapel) several years ago. We nearly had the entire place to ourselves and saw rooms that were kept off the general tour. We saw stone that is now extinct and art that melted my face. We lingered so long the guards chased us out. There are no words for how beautiful this place is.

You only dislike that word because someone told you to dislike it. Get over it.

$6 Billion? Think of all the prisons we could build!!
