Hi all, I'm the founder of Scramblage, (a privacy-centric photo sharing app). A LITTLE HISTORY: I consider myself pretty conservative when it comes to handing out my email address, but somehow, I still get spammed up to 100x/day. -- So I didn't set out to build Scramblage, specifically; I set out to find social networking apps that were free, but didn't require you to shell out your email address or phone number to gain access. I didn't find many, but I crossed paths with a few awesome people who pointed out what the real problem was: Apps that require your personal info to join have become so prevalent, that apps, which don't actually need your personal information, require it. Scramblage serves as an example for a new generation of apps built to be cost conscious (storage, processing, and communication is handled by the phone), consumer centric, safe (from data breaches / interception), and privacy oriented. Back then, I was actually consumed with work on my baby, Permamarks, and didn't want to take on this project, but obviously, it was impossible to find someone to do it for free (goal here is to keep it cost free and ad free). Scramblages (scrambled images) are your photos, encrypted/decrypted, with a password, on your own phone (not remote servers). Joining doesn't require an email address or phone number; it instead, takes advantage of SMS, letting you share with anyone. And using the app is completely free. You've heard the saying, "If you're not paying for the product, you are the product?" We're looking to put a stop to that. Join us in the privacy revolution, and LMK if you have any Q's!
