A classmate from college built this app. I think it's a great idea and very well designed app and introduces a new concept of communication and social media. What do you all think?

I think it's a good first shot. I'm wondering what's going to happen to a completely anonymous forum as it grows. Will it devolved into /b-like behavior or will it find a way to rise above.

If postsecret.com is anything to go by it could be sweet. Pity it's an app and not simply HTML5 though, I'll never see it.

I wanted to try it out in my browser, but couldn't, so I hit the back button. (This comment is intended as friendly, constructive feedback on your process for getting new users, and definitely not as an insult.)

Hi, I made Airendipity. Long-time lurker, first-time poster, etc.

One day I want to introduce a web UI, but since iOS is what I know and I'm just one guy working nights, I went with iPhone-only. I feel pretty strongly that it's the API/community and not the device-specific UI that's important here, so... one day.

Would be cool if the paper airplanes could be customized -- there's lots of ways to fold them, after all!

Yep. Planned and prioritized :)

meh on ipad. portrait mode only.

I want to bring Airendipity to iPad, but atm it's iPhone-only for the time-constraint reasons I mentioned above. I think iPad would be a great opportunity to stretch out a bit and carry a bit of the whimsical side a little further.

I'm hoping that the theme, some new features, and me keeping an eye on spammy content will make it rise above. I'm wondering just as much as you, though!
