@janva255 thanks! Yeah but my guess is fanatic people won't go through the effort of downloading it. Hopefully it'll have more open-minded people than not.
For now you can terminate chats. Let me know if you have any suggestions 😄
Hi, I'm Marawan, co-maker of Burst. Our goal is to build an app that connects you to people outside your social filter bubble. It's important to see both sides of the story from people just like you, and to realise that deep down you have more in common than you expected.
We'll be here all day to answer any questions you may have. This is our first big app and any feedback is appreciated. 😄

@marawan_1997 Love this idea! When is it coming to Android?
@marawan_1997@arunsathiya Thanks, Arun. We have a rough Android version but since we're only two people working on this we decided to focus on iOS for the time being. We're planning to start working on the Android version soon though. 🚀
This is an incredibly powerful idea, and I like the playful feel of the app (makes it feel more like a chat then a confrontation). Really stunning job, guys!! Would love to give better feedback, but y'all gotta show Android some love 😁😁😁
@jordan_rohrlich thanks a lot man this means a lot to us 😁 we’d love to give Android some love trust me hahaha we already started work on the Android version and I’ll let you know as soon as it’s out! 🚀
This reminds me of the Monty Python where a man goes in to buy an argument 😄
But seriously, I love all chat products and at a timelike this we've never needed to embrace diverse viewpoints and human discourse more 👍
Cool idea! It's pretty much what I miss every time I post something on Facebook. I try to discuss about topics but apparently most of my friends are on my same page. I'll give it a try!! ✌🏼
@nivi_jasa thanks! Yeah I feel the same on Twitter. All my friends are on the same page as me and I know I'm missing out on a more complete picture of the situation. I really hope you like it, let us know if you have any feedback! 😁

This is a really good idea but sometimes talking to fanatic people is like talking to a wall.
@pavelmoskalev13 Hey, I'm glad our idea appeals to you. When it comes to fanatics we feel like most of them won't bother downloading an app like this, but to make sure that doesn't become an issue we're thinking about ways to identify and block them.
@pavelmoskalev13 Fanatic is a relative concept, no? I think that logic in this context is often backwards. As humans, we assume people are "fanatics" coming into a conversation, because we were unable to change their minds. When in reality, we assume everyone is normal until the point we realize they happen not to agree with us. Then we label them as fanatics. IMO, one of the biggest problems in our modern culture (specifically in the U.S.). Doesn't matter what side you come from, there's plenty of people like this on all sides.
The screenshots and images you are using on the App Store and in the app are showing up very fuzzy on my iPhone 7. Neat idea, you should expand on this by creating groups so it's not just 1-1 in the future. Maybe 3-3, any bigger you wouldn't be able to follow. Are you by any chance using fire base as a backend here?
@jeremy_sh Hey Jeremy, thanks for pointing that out we'll fix the images asap. We're working on adding group debating but we wanted to release the first version to get some feedback. and yeah we're using firebase hahah what gave it away? 😁
@karimalsaka Debates like these are taking very long time. Ain't got time for that :)
But still, great idea!

Not that we want to stoke any fires to rile the internet up even more, but this could be used as a great way to try and gain insight on a topic from a different perspective. Like in any general debate class, the best defense is to learn the motives of your oppenent inside and out. You must be able to win an arguement from the opposing side. This could be a perfect way to prepare for any potential heated holiday dinner debates with loved ones :P
@youmapinc Couldn't agree with you more. We made this app not for people to win arguments, but for them to debate about topics they are interested in and wanna learn more about. A lot of times people believe in their opinions so strongly that they don't even acknowledge the opposite point of view - which is never a good way of looking at the world. We believe that the world would be much nicer - and more peaceful - if people are more empathetic. Thank you for your support, it really means a lot to us 😄. Any feedback would be very appreciated.
