So good! Have you considered allowing people to take a photo of the receipt and automatically itemize each order in your UI + take care of tip etc?

SwipeChat was released one year ago, still functional and sick:

- Slide to play messages
- One message at a time

Consumer social is hard and unforgiving, yet so fun. I learned so much focusing on it for four years after college, and I would never have done it differently. More importantly, I met some of the smartest and most amazing friends throughout the whole journey. (3/7)

Shutting down Unfiltered was really difficult. After dozens of apps, our userbase stabilized at 10,000 DAU with a 58% D60 retention. A dream at the time! Growing that userbase, and monetizing the core loop was an uphill battle for us, and I didn’t see a world in which it would…

Constraining to 30 secs + 1 message at a time meant the full loop (play + respond) could be completed in less than a min:
- right before u order a coffee
- while ur in the middle of something
Goal was to get people to use audio for at least 30 secs every day

. He iterated fast, shipped, and hustled.
Most startups fail. How you navigate challenges & shut downs matters. Midas did so gracefully. I am even more excited to collaborate with him in the years ahead.
