Peach - Keep up with friends and be yourself 🍑

Magic words are the interesting differentiator here — kind of like slash commands in Slack or @mentions in Telegram/HipChat.

I compare Peach to status updates people used to make on Facebook (and how some people use Twitter). Interesting product, not much value proposition yet but it's fun to update your friends and keep track of what you do. Can't wait to see what their next steps are! Also add me, I'm @tiff

Interesting. This is by the team that made Byte, which launched only 4 months ago. Are you working on both apps, @dhof? Super curious to learn more. EDIT: I'm rrhoover 🍑 and here's my first post:

Looks cool 😄 claimed my dream username @ad ,also my first choice of gif went really well with the follow up onboarding copy...having problems finding friends with my address book, I have a non us phone number and everytime trying to add it when requested I get a "something went wrong" kind of error 😟

Absolutely love the concept of and possibilities that come with magic words. Huge differentiator to every other social platform. Not to mention the super friendly copy and ease of use. Only downside is that I can't use social networks to find friends and it also isn't letting me scan my address book. Regardless, I'm looking forward to continuing using it and seeing how it fits into my day to day with friends. Oh and I claimed the username @cat — what a score! That has never happened as far as I can recall unless it was my own product. Add me! 🎉

Giving it a shot, but not sure if 'be yourself' applies - still think the social pressure of having an audience will apply here if it doesn't already, unlike with anonymous apps (Secret's tagline was 'Speak Freely', 'Be yourself' etc. too).

Dang, no droid support. Seems cool, kind of like snapchat stories but without being constrained to needing a photo or video backdrop for updates. Will play with it when I get the chance.

So Mashable was obsessed with this until we think our tweets about it killed it. But it's fun. I'm @christina obvs

Many are comparing 🍑 to Snapchat and Twitter. Here are a few quick observations on what makes it unique: 1) Users are incentivized to post more often to bump their profile to the top of their friends' feed. 2) Unlike Twitter, no one person can spam your feed (as @joshconstine noted on Twitter). Each post is grouped with your profile. 3) Similar to Snapchat, you must friend someone to see their feed, with exception to the friends of friends feed. 4) Unlike Snapchat, you can find new people in the friends of friends feed, although a chronological list probably isn't the best sorting. 5) The more friends you have, the further your posts spread via the friends of friends feed. We've been having fun with the @ProductHunt 🍑 account, seeing as much/sometimes more engagement than on Twitter, although anything new often attracts more attention at first.

love this! it's like it brings everything together. a fave already
