WhatsApps main “killer feature” was being early in the market to quickly reach a critical user mass.

Doesn’t matter which competitor, people will install an alternative, see that only 5-10% of their contacts have it and will immediately uninstall.

I see potential in preinstalled messaging apps. But it needs to be cross-compatible between iOS and Android. Otherwise it won’t fly.

Many have tried, many have failed.

You simply need a killer feature to get people to change.

I actually have issues with wefwef now, gives me a lot of errors.

But I think the next days will be a little rough because of many new signups.

That’s what happens if you try too hard to milk an existing franchise instead of going with your own ideas…

All yours, I’m good.

The problem is: The die-hard CDPR fans pre-ordered the game (me included), then played through it despite the unfinished state and bugs (because we already waited a long time) and then never touched it again. So I read that they improved the game massively but I just never saw a reason to play through it again with so many other great games on my unfinished list…

Maybe a DLC could change that but I kinda made my peace with this game so I’m good.

The end of Sync is the reason why I will leave Reddit at the end of the month. So nice to see that we eventually might get a new app for Lemmy!
