Pretty immature to frame what they've built as "Screw Yo," especially given it looks like it was three non-technical folks that outsourced development. Be positive and humble, please.
@joshm i think it's better than launching modestly and having people label it as "oh it's just another yo clone". If people would know they're a clone, might as well push it further to get more attention :)
@joshm I thought it was a catchy title, and playfully riffing on a product's ideology rather than the product itself (hence, "text matters" as the proceeding sentence). Also, absolutely nothing wrong with non-technical folks.
I'm particularly fond of the first channel featured in their discover section. :)
Drop is obviously has some Yo inspiration but this is another example of a notification-driven app. The value and interaction occurs on the lockscreen and it doesn't take an open derive value. This is great because the friction to "use" the app is substantially decreased; however, it has several limitations. How do app creators measure success when they have 0 data on whether users are even seeing these notifications let alone finding value from them? cc @orarbel

@rrhoover Did you ever try Broadcast by the makers of App.net? It seems to be a really similar idea to this and other products that are popping up now. It was released late 2013, but didn't seem to gain a lot of traction.
