Odd. I wonder why I got downvoted. I don't make money if people go to that website. My grammar (afaik) was correct. It seemed to relate to the comment above. I will just remain at a loss and move on.

why should he have to be sensitive at all? It's his opinion.

To be understood better. People communicate to convey info.

I understand this. I'm just sick of the recent trend of silencing the freedom of speech when it may offend someone.

Didn't Facebook kill something like this a few years ago?

I would be honored to write an app banned by Facebook. One less thing on the bucket list.

Congrats :)

Well, if Facebook unblocks you, you might want to look into adding another feature: relationship creation notifications for specific users.

Target user: People like me that don't check Facebook everyday, but would still like to receive an email when their friend finally makes it Facebook-official that him and the girl he's been talking to for weeks are dating.

You could take the code base you have written and probably adjust just a few lines of code to turn it into an app that tells you when a friend dumps you on Facebook. This is actually what I thought you had built, and for me would be even more useful + interesting. (Or, open source the code and let someone else do it)

Just launched my app for this. http://www.defriendalert.com
