hijacking this post to share that Retro, currently the #1 app in germany, austria, and the netherlands, is a social app that's just for friends, no AI slop, no brainrot, calm design, chronological feed and no concept of followers
It feels pretty obvious at this point that someone’s going to make billions building a social app that’s just for friends, no AI slop, no brainrot, calm design, chronological feed and no concept of followers.

i don't think people realize how obvious it is when they use ai to write their posts. i automatically think less of your post when it was obviously written with chatgpt, it comes across as lazily written, regardless of the work you put into it
