Hey folks! Some friends of mine are launching a self-care wellness app built as a Telegram mini app. They're based in Eastern Europe, where Telegram is hugely popular and widely used for all sorts of things. They asked for my help in marketing it globally but I'm hesitant. Living in the US, I mostly see Telegram associated with sketchy stuff: black market services, shady job offers, etc. It has a pretty bad rep here. So I'm wondering Is it just me? How is Telegram perceived in your country? And if someone you trust recommended a really good app, would the fact that it's on Telegram be a dealbreaker for you? Would love to hear your thoughts before I commit to helping them.
Last week, I downloaded and purchased @AgBr after seeing it on the homepage. Its design and super specific goal just immediately clicked with me. I love black & white photography, and this was a really interesting and approachable way to experiment with it; even though I've never been much of a photographer myself. I'm usually just appreciating others' photos.
But then, over this past weekend, I noticed that I kept feeling compelled to take pictures throughout my day so that I could play around with different filters and try out different levels of film grain on them. Having the tools to create was suddenly making me look for more and more opportunities to use them.
