#2‘Friendster is invite-only. You can join by linking with a real-life friend in person.‘
Good idea but not practical for me as my friends and family are widely dispersed.

#3You know what? Good for Friendster. It can't be worse than what we have now. But, also, good luck with that. Facebook may be terrible (it is definitely terrible), but it's where everybody's friends are. I dunno how you reproduce that network effect today, but maybe they do.

#4Aaaaand no Android support. Dead on arrival for me.

#5I don't really need a social network for the people I'm already in close proximity with. But, I'm glad they're making an attempt here, at least.

#6I remember when the original Friendster came out, everyone I knew signed up, only to realize...wait, what can we actually do with it other than look at our social graph?
If Friendster had figured out a stickier use case, they could have preempted MySpace and Facebook before they ever got going.

#8They seriously did a relaunch without being compatible with most of the planet? iOS only, who does that in 2026, get competent Devs friendster because you'll die again :/
Can't believe they'll waste an opportunity like this with non-sense, it genuinely make me mad.

No web support, no Android support, literal shame for a project of this potential value with a name known across the world, I can't believe the management gave the green light for this.
Probably got self-brainwashed by the SaaS era "start with a MVP", nope, it's 2026, no one gives a damn about a poorly made MVP.

#10A nice and familiar domain with tons of nostalgia, but the app isn't even an MVP! You can vibe code something way richer in less than a day, to be honest! If this took you months, then, wow!
