Loved the write up but it all canceled out when I realized it’s a blog for an app that’s “your social operating system”

Fair point! The irony isn't lost on me, writing about breaking free from systems while building another one. Sometimes we need training wheels before we can ride free. The goal is shifting the mindset, and ultimately making the systems unnecessary eventually.

I suspect the app is a labor of love, and the article was from the heart.

It does get dicey, when what we do is mixed with who we are.

I have an app that is very useful to a lot of folks, but I don't really spend much time, talking about it, because it's frequently met with suspicion. I'm trying to figure out how to work around that.

Vaguely alluding to whatever it is you do as "too suspicious-sounding to talk about" surely isn't helping the matter.

Yeah, you're probably right.

Have a great day!
