So ... you take a photo and send it to a single preconfigured contact?


Guess I should've put up some demo instead of a drama

>take a photo

yes but there is no preview, if configured right when you take pictures, you are looking at her/him or the button that fetch his/her posted photo

>send it

it is sent (actually post) the moment you press "take photo", they are coupled, you get a thumbnail preview after you take it and a mild haptic notification after uploaded.

>swipe it

You can take a screenshot if you want, but in the app, you swipe, the record is removed from the one and only database


> Guess I should've put up some demo instead of a drama

Yes. And remember to add a screenshot.


Hello, world! I made an app and here it is.

A: Okay, you got yourself 5 seconds.

R: So you do a quick configuration, then every-time you call it, you hit enter.

A: So it's an command line tool?

R: Yes! but for the life terminal, hence it demands an appearance, hence it's an app.

A: So I hit Enter, what happens?

R: Well, it got only 3 commands, may I?

A: Go ahead, I say when.

R: So you did the configuration, you have this channel with your love, and..

A: Wait! What is! You think you can fool me?

R: I'm terribly sorry sir but the configuration takes no more than 10 sec, I assumed you'd expect a full experience once again I'm so sorry.

A: You are losing me.

R: So the first command, you strangle a dandelion and hand it to your love.

A: go on?

R: 2nd: you take the dandelion handed by you love.

A: and?

R: 3rd: blow it.

A: What is a dandelion?

R: A photo you take within the app.

A: like I would expect anything, why don't I use FaceTime or message or sth?

R: Does any of them feel like a dandelion?

A: what about privacy and all that stuff?

R: Well here is what I offer and I shall maintain,[SIGN-IN FREE, AD FREE, NOTIFICATION FREE, NO DATA COLLECTION IN ANY SENSE, TRIVIAL LOCAL MEMORY USAGE], just build a channel for you, where you can strangle a dandelion and

A: Okay I get it, but can you do BETTER?

R: I'm confidently positive, see, it's in the stage of a usable prototype, but I can't wait to buy my grandma an iPhone and build up the channel, so I just shipped it. A month ago I don't even have a mac but the idea pops up and it was so clear.. Anyway, it's been a heavy month. And any suggestion just throw it in my face as long as it play along with dandelion scene.

A: you saying it's an iOS only app?

R: Yes it's highly coupled with iCloud service (which won't take up your personal quota) and that's how I made it SIGN-IN FREE and all that..

A: what you call it?

R: TriviGaGa or 吹微GaGa

A: is that Chinese?

R: yes and it sounds exactly like 'trivi' and shares the in-literal meaning, I'm a baby creeper in coding but a grumpy old poet (if you allow me to say)

A: How much?

R: $1.99 buyout but you can only get a free TestFlight version for now.

A: Tell me how you feel as a user?

R: It kept me reminded(not with notification, but just being in my phone), reminds me how alone I truly am and the fact that nothing I do can fundamentally change that.

A: So it's a worthless app from an even less person?

R: You are getting to know me.

A: You got one last word.

R: The in-app guideline is only made a Chinese version because my grandma don't know what a command line tool is. So just swipe it off, for now.

A: Like I would give it a try.

R: my apology for the last time.
