Hm, you did realize that the comment sounded very much as being sarcastic, did you?
It was definitely not meant to be sarcastic :) we actually do have Android very close to being done and soon Pair will be cross platform! Sorry for any confusion :)
Tl;dr: the sexting app. I met one of the cofounders at the Stripe CTF meetup. They're a Waterloo U. Team, seemed like a sharp group. Pair was their pivot. Initially they had a 3D mouse based on the iPhone accelerometers.
Someone should compile a list of initial ideas vs pivots. It would be interesting to see how many groups had pivots this drastic.

Going from a 3D mouse to Pair seems like more than a pivot. It's more like a back handspring or some larger acrobatic maneuver. Someone should compile a list of initial ideas vs pivots. It would be interesting to see how many groups had pivots this drastic.

My marriage definitely benefits when I take tiny bits of time to tell my wife I'm thinking about her. For example: - Text her a random emoji - Email her an image I've found (usually using our app Prism http://www.steamclocksw.com/prism/ ) - Send her a Draw Something drawing The point is to send a "unit of thinking about you" that's simple but unique enough that it's not mechanical (like a "poke" would be). Pair seems…
How about a service that you could enter all these things in the morning and it would send them throughout the day? Like a Buffer for "unit of thinking of you". I'm only half joking
Next up: Path for Families (I'm actually being serious here. I could see this working, but probably not in the US where the concept of the nuclear family is much weaker. In Latin America or some European markets this could work quite well. There's probably an Asian equivalent to Path for extended families as well)
