This is another example of invisible apps. The focus of Riley is to find you an apartment via texting the number 740-473-6853.

Hey @danthevc. IMO, if you're trying to solve the NYC rental market, focusing on any other market is just a distraction because of how unique NYC is.

Curious of your thoughts, congrats on the product launch.
