Don’t forget to Like and Repeep my Peeps on Peepeth

Yeah, it's an unfortunate name :\. This is how I imagine any conversation about it going: "Hey friends, you all should try this app I'm using Peepeth" "Pee-what?" "Peepeth." "How do I spell that?"

"Hey guys, I was wondering if we should migrate the Peepeth code base to pijul."

"You wanna put the Pee-what in the pee-who?"

I feel like this Jack Dorsey profile is fake, because he hasn't mentioned Peepeth on his Twitter account or anything. https://twitter.com/jack However, it seems to have fooled the real(?) Fred Wilson. https://peepeth.com/fredwilson?id=QmNVmVaUiUHKq1B19deSoThkHs... Not that I think this says something bad about Peepeth... the situation is obviously not much better on Twitter, even with verification. Just a point about…

Doesn't look like they claimed to be the 'real' jack dorsey?

I’d seriously reconsider the name. I understand it’s a combo of peep+eth but combining them is really not gonna resonate with anyone.

Sounds like it's about Shakespearean Peepers, that's the reason I clicked: to find out what the hell could have that kind of name.

I'm glad you find humor in it :). I sincerely hope it doesn't hurt adoption! I really want there to be alternatives to Twitter (I use Mastadon).

You should check Peepeth out. It is a way better alternative to Twitter. It has more of a community feel without the garbage heckling, etc.

It seems to be great if your goal is to see many copies of the dickbutt meme.

Hi all, Peepeth creator here. Would appreciate your thoughts. https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/87k9iz/presenting... https://www.producthunt.com/posts/peepeth

1) The word "microblogging" threw me off -- for some reason, I hear "blogging", and don't realize it's meant to be a twitter clone. 2) Maybe it's just me, but the full page image of the woman on your landing page makes me want to close out rather than engage and find out what the product is. I'd rather see top peeps immediately, with a partial landing banner for new users. 3) I think the most critical task for a prod…

Dumping large volumes of nonessential content into the Ethereum blockchain sounds like an antipattern.

Thanks! 1) Yeah, it's a weird word. Other suggestions appreciated. 2) Good feedback. 3) Branding is a top priority. This front-end is meant to polarize for a certain type of user. That becomes more clear during on-ramp and usage. Copy/messaging needs work. Suggestions appreciated. 4) Thank you. Best way is to DM me on Twitter at @bevanbarton with the email address you signed up with and I'll approve you ASAP.
