Interesting, but seems like you might face kind of a conundrum with this. If no one is around to broadcast to, people won't start using it. On the other hand, if lots of people use it, you will be bombarded with useless messages all the time.

I appreciate all the feedback. I feel like we are having a great discussion here.

We are critical. But this is good feedback. I personally want to see you succeed. But you have a few questions yet to answer. Possibly the most important questions re an app like this, which you should already have clearly-defined answers for at this point; on the eve of launch.

What if you had the ability to "create a chatroom" and then only people who are subscribed within the vicinity can send/read responses? You would also be able to see and join nearby chatrooms.
That shouldn't ruin the anonymity aspect but might allow you to better tailor it to specific uses. But then again maybe there is another app that already does this, just thinking out loud here...
- ukit, we are working on this. We are calling this channels. You will be able to create therm.insomnie
- I won't talk about it much, but it will be awesome.insomnie
- Cool, I was thinking channels was a better nameukit2
- What if you could set broadcast range for your channel? Lots of interesting possibilities...ukit2

This is a killer idea. Maybe if there are no users nearby, the search area expands. That way it's never an empty void.
I like the chat room idea but maybe for v2? Launch should be simple. Almost ridiculously so. Like that YO app, or how Snapchat first launched.

I will be curious to see how people use the app. We were thinking of collecting stories, and maybe having a blog that would get updated with only the best use cases.

Looking good insomnie; I'm assuming their is not a vid/micro site/etc. As of yet?!
Start small & stay small us my only advice.

- insomnie0
Correct, no microsite yet.

The problem I've found with anonymous (through my experience with Spott) is that most of the conversations are very unproductive.
Similar anonymous apps like Yik Yak have a lot of users, but it's just a bunch of interns talking about how they want to bang the secretary or racial jokes.

rosem we are hoping this will be more productive then that. We are introducing channels in next update where people can communicate in groups.

I feel like tomorrow will be a good day.

Insomnie,
What is your role in the app build/creation? Designer/Programmer?
Perhaps both? Did you teach yourself how to code apps?I'm a designer with a million and one ideas for apps, i'd kill to be able to produce at least a few.
- microkorg0
Insomnie,
What was the coding route you went down?Really interested to find out how someone with a design brain managed to get their head around programming :)
- insomnie0
I was always able to code HTML/CSS. iOS always fascinated me. I started by trying out stupid ideas and trying to code them myself. First one ever was a soundboard app. Basically a bunch of buttons and you click them, they make a sound.
I watched a lot of videos on youtube. They really helped to get my brain around what was going on.
