#2Great idea, but I don't get why they are based in Myanmar. This is almost asking for trouble from authorities. For something whose direct purpose and sales pitch is to do something that an authoritarian government is against, I would have based the entire company outside the country.

Because they are Burmese? They did register the company in Singapore, according to the article. Also, the government isn't exactly authoritarian anymore (we all hope). Nevertheless, it does seem risky.

Hello everyone, first of all thank you so much. Yes, it is because all of us are Burmese.

#7It would be awesome to see more technical discussion of the anonymity mechanism.
How do you ensure that users accounts are not linked Personally Identifying Information?
We've seen that when folks implement weak anonymity technologies, disaster quickly ensues.

From the little detail in the article, I gather that they don't, which is pretty bad in the context of the article.

Do you think most of your users are outside Burma? Your website seems to be advertising the app in English and Chinese but not Burmese?
