This app would have saved my career a couple years ago. Now, when I visit the old office to say hi to my ex-colleagues, I still can't get past the nickname they gave me because of what happened.

sorry. they sound like crappy people so you probably would have had some falling out eventually anyway

> things I do in private When you let it be recorded and the recording be possessed by someone else, it's practically public, as you can't control what'll happen in future and there will always be mean people that'll try to bully you for that sort of thing. I'm sad that it's caused you harm, but I guess in such situations showing confidence might work.

Would you respond the same way to someone whose spouse emptied out their bank accounts and ran off?

Well, first of all I did not mean to offend the person I responded to. Sorry if that came off that way. About your comment, well, frankly, if you're sharing sensitive things like bank accounts and intimate recordings, prudence is key. One has to make sure what they give access to. And I said that the suffering side in this kind of situations should be assertive about the fact that they are innocent. IDK what is wrong about that.

I think "a prenup for home videos" might be the worst marketing angle possible. It sounds like a legal contract. But, worse, it makes it sound like it's only something you should use if you don't trust the other person. Instead, they should market it as "2fa for sex tapes" rather than a trust issue by itself and point to things like "the fappening" icloud social engineering hack. I can't imagine many people using thi…

i agree there's an angle they are missing that is basically peace of mind in case someone hacks your iCloud account

How is this different, there are always this risk when one share back account.

I'm incredibly impressed by the design work on this. As someone who has studied design the past few years, the landing page alone is filled with little details and choices that taken together just succinctly and beautifully communicate what this app does. Definitely inspiring to know Nathan just hacked on this on his own -- I hope it is a terrific success!

Yeah I am laughing out loud at the landing page, I think it's pretty brilliant and I somehow missed the condom over the camera until I started sending it to other folks. The color scheme matches the intended use . . . I mean if I pulled this up on my phone in a dark room I don't think it would spoil the mood with too many bright blue-whites.

Instead it should be called "encryption for couples".

"Prenups" are about when couples disagree. Rumuki, by contrast, is for couples that do agree. The video can only be unlocked when both of a couple agree to unlock it.

I understand I'm spinning a bit here but I think it's good spin. It's encryption for couples!

"I expected my colleagues to respect the things I do in private and realize I'm just human." So basically, you bet that people would overcome millions of years of human psychology? While I agree with you it would be nice if that happened (really nice!), i wouldn't expect that to happen for a long long time.

Hell, why even bother criminalizing murder or theft when murder and theft have happened in every culture in the history of time? It's only human nature, after all.

Exactly because human nature is hard to change, you have to effectively force it by criminalizing it and not everything can be criminalized.

I find it funny you think "2fa" is more accessible than "prenup". Call me when I hear "2fa" in a hit rap song.

Kanye can mention prenup all he wants. Nobody enters prenuptial agreements for various difficult reasons, not because they don't hear it in rap music.

In Through the Wire he also mentions "keep what's in my safe, safe" so I think he'd be amenable to promoting 2fa :)

Geez. It's only sex, I really don't understand why people make such a big deal about it, sex tape or not.
