Cocoon replaced instagram and group chats for me. My family in Texas and I use it EVERY SINGLE DAY multiple times a day. I've learned so much more about my family's day to day that would be impossible to catch up over sporadic texts or calls. Thank you for building this!

Would love to see this on Android too! (otherwise my family will be split in two)

@gvg yeah, it would suck to not being able to share across platforms.
@gvg@fedoroveugenework I am so sad we weren't able to ship Android in time for the initial launch, especially outside of NA we know that most groups would be mixed or Android-only. We also think being cross-platform will be especially useful in an era of green bubbles and native OS systems that don't play well with each other.

Ok, looks interesting. My family is connected all through iMessage. What is the 10x value to switch?
@mrkampmann A good question – for 99% of the threads you have on iMessage, Cocoon probably won't get you to 10x value. It's designed for the 1% of people who you care about 100x more. For those people, Cocoon is easily 10x better, largely because it is designed for that specific use-case (supporting your closest relationships).
Sachin touches on this above – basically there is a whole category of features that wouldn't make *any* sense inside of a general purpose messaging app, but would provide incredible value inside Cocoon. Two I'm excited about here are: ambient sharing (lightweight automatic updates around location/weather/activity etc) and automatic flight tracking (which is coming soon).

Looks like a promising App! Looking forward to see how it goes; especially after seeing how Apps like @Path and @MeWe are tackling this.
Such apps had a huge domination in Arab market, after @Path announced closing, similar applications i.e. @MeWe got a flood of hundreds thousands of customers in that segment. Some of them had to increase server capacity.
Good luck .
Cocoon is a really beautiful product! I love the way that @monga and the team think about relationships - excited to see where things go next.

@alexcornell - just wanted to say I'm a fan of your work. Was not surprised at all by the production quality of this video and the visual/motion design of the app. Some really interesting ideas worth exploring here, excited to see the team iterate on this!
@bryantpeng Thank you! Any chance to break out the Origami prototyping machine, I will TAKE IT!

Rolling this out to my group of friends as we speak. We have missed PATH dearly. Any future plans for song tagging/identifying? We always share new and/or memorable songs through out our day.
I like the idea of the chitchat, hoping tge conversation are really removed after. The flight tracking and those kinds of details help differentiate it from other messaging app and it makes sense. It would be cool to be able to make announcements. It's promising. Waiting for the android version.
@moss_f_ "With some added features" perhaps could be our new slogan!
Kidding aside, the features we have and will add, are designed to work uniquely well for our use-case. Cocoon is meant to be the ultimate space for the group you care about most - it's not meant to replace your messaging apps across the board.
