I’ve been wanting to make something along this spirit. A personal social network. No influencers. No ads. It rides on existing messaging rails (email, SMS, IM…) for distribution. You just post stuff to your feed, and your contacts get a notification when appropriate.
> When you liberate programming from the requirement to be professional and scalable, it becomes a different activity altogether, just as cooking at home is really nothing like cooking in a commercial kitchen. What if you have never cooked at home but all the time in a commercial kitchen? That's the reality for most of us here so it is a bit difficult to relate to this article.

I'd hazard a guess that the majority here (> 50%) have never worked at a commercial kitchen! I'm honestly curious to understand why you think most people here must have worked at commercial kitchen and never cooked at home?

TestFlight is mention in the article so I guess yes, iPhone.
I'm actually surprised that TestFlight was available for this, since I recently worked on a private app and did a bit of research into how to distribute it - everything I read implied that TestFlight apps will be reviewed by Apple employees and must be apps that intend to eventually be distributed more widely (e.g. beta versions). I got the impression that an app for family or friends that wasn't set up with a plan f…

People are able to do things in their own home without asking Amana or GE permission and having their recipes examined and reviewed.
For a small group messaging each other, at what point is simple SMS superior?
1. SMS do not support group messaging. An SMS with multiple receivers is just multiple copies of a 1-to-1 message. The other recipients don't know about each other.
2. SMS do not support images or videos.
