Kiyo is a personal media app, designed so you can engage meaningfully with the people who mean something to you, rather than browse #content by #influencers. If you feel exhausted by social media –– by the pressure to stay 'on brand' –– and want a more freeing & personal outlet, then we think Kiyo is for you!

I'll happily up vote as soon as there is an Android version. Getting a bit disappointed by the hip iphone focus on PH...

@grexe It’d be great if PH had an auto-filter based on devices you own so you didn’t have to see products you can’t use. It’d save time for everyone involved.
Gregor B. Rosenauer
@nicholist I perfectly understand your point, working in a small startup myself. Sadly there is no way to configure PH notifications based on tags, though. And I'm actually happy because I don't want to live in an Android filter bubble. Wouldn't a cross-platform framework be an option here?

@nicholist @grexe I'm a fan of cross platform frameworks, but sometimes it's hard to get the UX just right when you're working with an abstraction of native development. Not a Kiyo team member, but I can understand why they might avoid it.

@grexe The idea isn’t about being in a bubble, it’s about optional filtering for more relevant results. Android users don’t want to see iPhone apps when they search Google Play, so why would they want to see them on a platform built to help them find new products? As for cross-platform development, man I wish it was that easy! I don’t know enough about the biotech space to give a good analogy, but suffice to say that if it were already easy to build one cross-platform app that users love, you wouldn’t see so many iOS-only apps launching here. I'm sure the cross-platform development frameworks will keep improving, but until it's possible to build a truly native experience on multiple platforms, all written in one language, with plenty of flexibility, it's not going to be widely adopted by developers.

I've been playing with the app for a few weeks during the beta. This is a nice evolution of The List App and I especially appreciate the focus on creating an environment that doesn't encourage troll (I'm constantly self-editing and censoring myself on Twitter). Follow me at rrhoover if you want to read my shower thoughts and random photos from my camera roll. 😛 @bjnovak / @devwastaken / @nicholist – who are you favorite people to follow on Kiyo so far?

@bjnovak @devwastaken @nicholist @rrhoover totally read the 'shower' and 'random photos' parts too quickly

Reminds me of Path, not necessarily a bad thing.

@jud5on I miss path. Edit: never mind it apparently still exists. Thanks for getting me to redownload it!

@jud5on that was my immediate reaction, both visually (pop-out button) and in its vision. Hopefully it won’t have the same fate...

I really like the idea and the inspiration behind building Kiyo (nice name too😎). I just find it little similar to 'Story Highlights' on Instagram where I categorise and add personal moments from my life and unlike regular stories, it's always there on my profile. But not showing number of views is a pretty bold move and a good differentiator. Will keep a close eye on how Kiyo progresses. Good luck guys 😄
Ramnath Shenoy
@nicholist That's true. Different audiences is not an option today on Instagram and I see the difference it makes with Kiyo. Thanks for pointing it out 😊

Unrelated point, the Product Hunt discussion/comment thread system needs polishing. Hard to navigate (at least on iPhone), not clear where sub comments start and end when scrolling, adding a comment brings back to the top, indentation for replies makes content more « squashed », lots of white space & low contrast which might please Jony Ive but makes it harder to know at a glance where things are/what to do (quick feedback from a very happy/frequent PH user on mobile - cc @rrhoover)

@rfreling thanks for the feedback! New app's coming soon.

@rrhoover that was fast!! (notification opened the app but not to your reply, sorry I had to mention it ☺️) Looking forward to the update!

Anything that can make social media truly social and personal again is a big thumbs up from me. The design looks nice. Look forward to trying it out if it comes to Android! :)
