    I'd love to see an example of a Kemento, quickly accessible from the homepage.

    There are no likes, comments, or social pressures but you can share that moment with anyone via email, where it appears in their inbox, and can be accepted or declined within the app.

    I think you should rethink this. This is an added value, if not a primary incentive for adding things, for many people including myself.

    1. 2

      Thanks for your feedback, but it's not a feature I'm planning on adding any time soon, if not at all. It's my push against other platforms that trade in the currency of comments and likes and it's not the emotional hook that I want for the product.

      This isn't social media, it's personal media. From my initial testing and current users this is exactly something they were looking for.

      Completely understand it's not for everyone, but I don't want to replicate other platform features just because, the whole point of having my own business/product is I get to decide the market fit.

      In fact, out of 100+ I've talked to about it, or are using it currently you're the first to ask.

      1. 1

        I think that it's awesome you're taking this approach!

    Did you use tabler bootstrap dashboard for this launch?

    1. 1

      Yes, well spotted.

    Really cool design! :D I love it. And congrats for developing all this as solo founder!

    1. 1

      Cheers, it's been a lot of work - and a lot around the design/branding too, as well as the technical. It'll evolve over time but I'm happy for now!

    Looks great. 1% of Facebook users would be huge market reach. Hope you didn't base your pricing off just that. ;) But looks well done.

    1. 2

      Umm no I didn't. That's the last line in a spreadsheet - more of a "what if..." rather than an assumption!

      I've modelled quite a lot of scenarios, just 1% of Facebook users was the most hopeful!

      1. 1

        good I feel better. :) Good luck! Let us know how the launch goes!

      Genuinely don't know how I would have built it otherwise!
