I'd like to send you guys Testflight invites to check out the app and give any feedback or ask any questions. So please list your emails and I'll get the invites sent out later today. Thanks. P.S. We have Biz Stone following us on Twitter and have been tweeted by Chris Sacca which is great news.

What made you pick the name Txtter (Text being the key part) for an app that sends photos?

in slang terms, here in England, we say "txt me" about photos too. Also the core of our app is texting so we wanted to focus on that. Other factors we took into account was that we wanted the .com domain available, and we wanted it to be short and cool sounding.

Makes sense. It's easy to remember as well!

I specifically want to see what difference there is to Whatsapp/Telegram, given that these apps also share photos.

The problem with messaging apps such as Whatsapp/Telegram is that they're very poor for sharing photos, you have to send them in conversation 1 by 1, or create a group with people that might not know each other, or broadcast list, it's an ugly experience. Txtter has a profile page where you can share endless photos instantly. No commenting is allowed on pics so it's a simple clean experience. Txtter also has usernames.

invite sent, once signed up, add the username "gazalo" so you can have content.
