well we got blindsided by Yahoo! when they released Livetext while we were still in stealth with a buggy MVP (in fact, TechCrunch broke the story the same day we submitted to the App Store)

pro: we don't have the validate the concept anymore

con: now we're playing catch-up with an Internet giant

anyway, guess there's some solace in having the only alternative on iOS for video texting without sound, and we still think our minimalist design is pretty cool

help us keep morale up by checking it out, thanks!

I like the minimalism but I think I would want to see more about the app before having to go through the process of downloading it.

thanks for the comment! yeah our website is still our pre-launch placeholder for testers so we'll start to work on something more product focussed
