    Funny little story while trying to hire a fractional CTO

    @thewordgirl You need a technical person you can trust to weed through applicants. They need to be senior. I am a UX designer, in case you want to throw the work past another designer to make sure you’re doing things that make sense, I have a bit of spare time. All good either way 👍

    Roastmystartup: Sealed — send time delayed messages and gifts

    @appalonia Interesting feedback. The notification is what creates the anticipation which is really the crux of the app. Yes, I think it is likely that upon receiving such a notification the recipient will text or message the sender asking what it is etc... it's a tease, potentially frustrating...

    Roastmystartup: Sealed — send time delayed messages and gifts

    @goodwill Great question. I don't know yet. It's a tech question, best answered by someone technical with knowledge of data and storage and also cost efficiency. Should the message be stored on the phone itself? Or on a server in CA? Security and encryption is also something that will need to be...

    Roastmystartup: Sealed — send time delayed messages and gifts

    @laetri Indeed it is similar, though I'm not sure the anticipation is communicated in the same way. My goal is to streamline the process and make it an app that is easy to use with friends, not just for yourself. But the fact that "More than 3,871,000 letters written to the future..." is good...

    Roastmystartup: Sealed — send time delayed messages and gifts

    @thomas1987 There's certainly a chance that snapchat will implement this as a feature, but 1) that would be a win for Sealed, headline 'snapchat just unveiled a new feature to compete with this tiny startup', and 2) I highly doubt they would do it because it would represent a significant pivot...

    Roastmystartup: Sealed — send time delayed messages and gifts

    @swordsinging Mm I like it. I have a whole slew of features that could be build into Sealed over time, what I described is really the bare bones. One such feature along the lines of what you suggest is the ability for the sender to set a clue, or a riddle, and if the recipient gets it right...

    Roastmystartup: Sealed — send time delayed messages and gifts

    I'm launching Sealed. Link to Betalist. Sealed is a photo & video sharing app that allows users to send time-delayed messages. Recipients are immediately notified when they receive a message, but they then must wait until the unlock date specified by the sender. I originally had the idea because...
