Anyone who's used the app can back me up when I say this:

It is one of the most beautifully designed apps I've ever seen. Every interaction adds to the functionality. The balance of beautiful and functional is amazing. Sure, many of the interactions may have been done before in other apps, but it's the whole package that blows me away.

The whole "LOL THEY AINT GON MAKE THE $$$$" is a tired argument. The more interesting conversation to be had centers around the design.




Don't particularly understand why that's a tired argument - I think that's a wise piece of the puzzle for any investor to consider. It's so interesting to hear investors criticize a savvy pitch like crazy then hand over a bucket of money to something like Secret.


It's not an argument, it's a prediction. I welcome them to prove it wrong.

Unfortunately when you take money from someone else, the conversation changes to how much money you're going to make from that initial money.


Secret is basically a news feed. I'm pretty sure news feeds have proven to be heavily monetizable.


Eh, the close button is hard to reach at the top and the gesture that is "back" in other apps is "like."


I can't wait to use it as soon as they make an Android version. They certainly have the budget to now...
