Quacku

@vsnthv @amrith To me that sounds like a pretty complicated twist on the purpose of this app... however I'm not the maker. Let's see.

@amrith ahh, it's not possible to do in the current state.

@vsnthv @mickc79 I'd rather share something to my existing audience that post something that almost nobody would see 😅

@vsnthv @amrith and THAT.... is the problem that every new social network faces. I don't think many things are insurmountable in life but I think establishing a NEW stand alone social network may be impossible in the era of Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

@amrith you can write an IFTTT rule yourself to serve you on Twitter. @vsnthv See what I was saying about “a bird that tweets”? All sorts of misplaced associations..

@mickc79 Currently search is the only way.

@vsnthv Cool thanks. I love the concept here but I'm not finding it very useful in its current state. I'll check back in a few weeks.

@vsnthv @mickc79 I agree with Mick on this one, I think that maybe it should give a few recommendations on who to follow, if that's even possible? Because right now I feel pretty lonely in there. Btw, nice starting idea, strange name.

@lyondhur :( it was initially named "Hikus" (Haiku + Status). But has to change it for the availability of social media handles.

@lyondhur @vsnthv Quack also means a false medical practitioner and similar negative meanings (https://www.dictionary.com/brows...). It's a really cool idea and in many cases I would say name doesn't matter at all. However in this case, I think the name counts against the product.

This is a place to help fellow builders right? So, here.. @vsnthv if you dedicate some time in thinking things like: - what is the true purpose of the app, - where does it offer something unique to solve a specific issue, - how does it produce a solution .. you’d circle back to your initial vision. From here, if you decide to anthropomorphise that core concept into a creature or symbol, it’d have a much easier and more consistent starting point. It just feels like it’s an attempt to replace a “bird that tweets” for “a duck that quacks” that failed at it. It’s a great idea and it truly deserves more than throw outs like “a haiku status”. It’s not about poetry, right? So don’t slack into just “putting a name there” hoping it will stick. If we got what you “tried” to say correctly, it’s about “right now”, “ephemeral”, “impermanent”, “transforming/changing”, “free”, “expression”, “memento”, “instant” right? Therefore.. “Precious”, “passing”, “unique”, “a one record”, “exclusive”, “solo”, “one”, “single”, “full in one”, “memorable”, etc.. is what you should be chasing. Word of advice, kindly: UX, UX and more UX. and don’t you forget UX. I’m not talking about graphic design (before you think that). Think, deeply, about the user. Everything you can. Talk to people. One-purpose projects like yours are the perfect canvas for thorough user-design work. There’s a whole world in here to be explored. Kia kaha! Don’t stop. Best of luck.
