Most secure or not, how do you plan to gain traction against the established incumbents?

@frassmith we think we have a tool that people really need and will use, cause there is no other way you can message another person about anything and being so calm that what your are saying nobody, except the one you are messaging, will be able to see, or relate to you... so we have a hard job working on improve Tex for people so it would be an alternative when messaging someone

hmm. So two users using fake names to have a disappearing conversation... The fake profiles are the thing that gets me. I personally don't think I would ever respond to fake profiles messaging me. (Unless I have a ton of extra time laying around) I would find that annoying and immediately ask for verification, thus reducing the level of "Security" this app provides, besides the encryption. 🤔 I'm sure it has a market niche, but that doesn't include me. @AlexHeikel what does the roadmap look like in this app? focused on security? or other user features? Very intriguing concept.

@as_austin Hi Austin.... thats not really the way it works... you download > add your phone number > verify > chose a fake name (you chose for example ¨batman¨ you can change it anytime).... then all your contact from your address book that have tex apear available to talk... when start a conversation with one of your contact, they will receive: ¨batman¨ want to talk you... so he reply as (supposed he chose ¨the joker¨) ¨the joker¨... at this point you know who is ¨the joker¨ but on the other side he doesn´t who you are... so you can send him a 3 second and disappearing Verification ID... thats the only moment ¨te joker¨ could know with whom is talking and know he can reply if he want... It´s very very easy and simple to use... and we think there is a nice niche on this, thats way we have done it.... and of course we did it because we need it. Thanks anyway Austin

I'm not smart but neither stupid and I don't get the benefits of using this app over an anonymous email.

@abetancort alfonso there is no email....

@alexheikel There's as long as you open, use it an close the account it thru VPNs. If used for a single conversation it would be a chore to tie that up to single person if not given away in the conversation itself.

@neelkadia Sorry! It was much more than we expected! Solved

I think this app is similar to https://www.producthunt.com/tech... but the text "The most secure messaging app" is misleading. Because when you say secure you should talk about security, encryption blah blah blah. like https://www.producthunt.com/tech... But your app should be called an ephemeral messaging app not the most secured messaging app. But I can't take a look at it yet as the page says "Bandwidth limit exceeded". :(

@vsnthv Solved! Sorry! And Its still very different from Peek... Tex is unique on how is secure and private
Vasanth
@alexheikel Thanks. That's good.

Wouldn't hurt if you added end-to-end encryption to the mix! ;)

@louroboros Hi Lou! Yes we will of course! Its only that we are focusing now on the user experience and in the user identity security cause they now don´t have any other app doing that! Thanks
