This app was made by my classmate from college. I think it is a great idea that is well designed and introduces a whole new concept of communication and social media. What do you guys think?

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

I was going to be stern about the unnecessary use of a GeoIP database on your website, but then I did a little snooping and realized that you're probably based somewhere near me. Hello local person!

Reminds me of grouphug.us, a site I spent hours on years ago.

Edit: it must have been 8 years ago at this point, and I still remember exactly what the site looked like and how the UI felt.

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.
