does this actually have any relation to reddit, or is that just a comparison? Your description doesn't really make it clear, it seems like it might not be but you really mention reddit a lot. if it isn't linked to reddit, then i don't really understand your tagline. what is a "private reddit"?

Trigger uses Reddit-like structure but in for your private discussions. So it provide more organisation to your conversations, or currently messaging apps.

Things are easier to find, you can have much better flow with all the conversations.

small grammar suggestion for your tagline - "a topic-based messenger that organizes all of your conversations." Also it wasn't clear to me what "my private reddit" meant at first. Aside from that I think the suggested conversations from trending topics is a great feature.

Yes we are testing out your suggestion of descriptive line "a topic-based messenger that organizes all of your conversations." vs more catchy Reddit derivative. please find more detail: thetrigger.io

I really like the suggested conversations feature. I think it would be interesting if each of a wide group of friends could select specific interests, then suggested conversations appear just to those people who are interested in that class of topic. Looks slick as well.

Some questions:

- How do you make money?

- What's your privacy policy? How do you ensure message privacy (the app description calls it 'private')?

- Is it iOS only, or can I connect via the web, desktop client, Android etc.?

Hi Scrumper,

Thanks!

Web is very coming soon!

Our privacy is like direct messages, only who you want can see the message.

If you want a private reddit...you can just make a private subreddit I agree, the reddit comparison does not work here.

There is a difference, with the structure of private subreddits, we felt there is rigidity and for Reddit it is for ONE group of users and topic.

Trigger is mobile-first platform, where we try to make the individual or multiple groups as fluid as you would do in a normal conversation, and everything organised by topics.

When I go to add a contact, occasionally I see your id and email show up under the search box besides "My ID / Email".

Edit: Got it to happen again. Was able to see it on my 4s.
