@rrhoover@rrhoover You're right, none has blown up yet and there might be a few reasons for that. Timing might be one of them. Behaviors are changing progressively, and people are getting used to record themselves daily. Connectivity is getting better and better and video compression even more performant. Video will rise sooner or later, but it has to be approached with the right angle and a perfect execution. (we hope ours will be the good one)
As Drake said, "It ain't about who did it first, It's 'bout who did it right" :)
Community is also one of the key. Ours is still small but very active and engaging since few months.
Would love to hear what you guys think about our product and your experience on this market.

@cyrilpaglino haha, love that you quoted Drake and I completely agree, timing, execution, and other unpredictable factors can lead to the success or failure of something that's been tried before.
Thanks Jonathon for posting! Feels great being here today.

Tribe is a five-month old product that we started building in Paris (bare with us as our english improves) and now work on from our new home in SF, where the four of us moved three weeks ago.
We remove the pains you experience everyday on the most popular mobile messaging apps.
A few inspiring teams started working on this in 2014. We want to bring freshness to the space through efficient and design-driven approaches.
We've been humbled by our beta users feedback. People ages 7 to 77 have been using Tribe.
Some to quickly message team members at work, others communicating with friends and family.
Oh, and Snapchat? It's more a “Story” tool, right? Amazing product, but definitely not a messaging app anymore.
Enjoy :)
@cyrilpaglino This looks really cool... for some reason before I had a phone I was really into walkie-talkies and wanted to spend hundreds of £££'s on some awesome ones.... without a good use-case for them - I was a kid, so what?!
Looking at the product demo it reminds me of when I lived in China and the locals using WeChat often record messages to each other instead of typing.
I like this whole combo of voice/video but curious to see if there had been any thought into text addition too?
@cyrilpaglino Really love this ! I see myself using tribe with my team and family members to have a human face to face interaction and stay in touch with them in a personal way and to update and notify as well ! Wish more people start using tribe as well . Wish you great success ! :)
Been using Tribe for some time now, mainly to quickly update the rest of my team.
Main advantage? Talk as you were in the room. Way faster than Slack or SMS.
Keep it up guys!
This looks absolutely amazing, UX-wise and concept-wise.
What's the dev-stack here? I'm just asking because it feels React Native based!
Congratulations anyway, cheers!
@thomasmeagher Like how "pull to refresh" spread everywhere, I can see this taking hold as one of those things that becomes ubiquitous instead of the list of letters down the right side (on iOS at least).
Been using since beta this summer, a few observations:
*single tap carves out 'selfie videos messages' from an iMessage or @Snapchat, which require 3-N taps + has the distraction of content improvement/review
*asynchronicity makes for a lower pressure FaceTime or a (video) voicemail, you'll actually listen to...
*private groups allow for multiple sub-networks and proper, intimate 'roasting' of friends :-)
TBT to Nextel, 'beep beep'
HT to makers @cyrilpaglino@ldesserrey@nicolasbradier@ctcrecords and my Tribe contacts @beller@eronzano@pascalmercier@2lr@zalzally@gentlemanbasil@benrbn@rrhoover for tolerating my mug!
@benwilsondesign Hey Ben, we have a small issue with Android. We uploaded a new version that hopefully will fix this in the next 30 minutes / hour or so! Please let us know.
Also been on Tribe since the summer (thanks @8artd for the heads up). At first I thought "really, another messaging app?" (Not trying to be a hater) But then I tried it out and it really is different. It's hard to put your finger on it but once you try the experience - you'll see. The design, the experience, the "fun."
I also think @cyrilpaglino is a huge part of the X factor. He's continued to impress me with his product vision, design acumen, and true hustle (not to overuse the buzzwords). He picked up from Paris, got a hacker house in SF, and has a wall full of post-it's for the roadmap. (@jtriest can testify)
Can't wait to see what this team builds next - "see" you all on Tribe!
@bentossell@cyrilpaglino Thanks Ben ! I had the same kind of needs when was a kid :wink:
We want to keep the content “raw” so you don’t take time to send a message. When you send a lot of message in a single discussion, you can't take time to craft each one of them. How did you feel about that while playing with the app?
Feels amazing from everyone but especially from you guys. Webflow is one of the best product I've ever used. Was perfect the build landing page (http://tribe.pm/) :)
I'm using Tribe since the first beta version and it's really cool, such a time saving compare to the other messaging apps. I love the possibility to talk to the team directly within the app!
Congrats to @CyrilPaglino and all the Tribe team, you guys made a great product! (Bisous Nick Bd 😘)
I wanted to like this and try it out, but can't get past my phone number. It asks for verification code, which was put it, and now all it does is spin. That was after it crashed the first time I opened it. Sorry, it's a delete for me.
@delwilliams Having the same problem, I assume they're experiencing scaling/growing pains because there are a few things that are giving me errors or are hanging
