Is anyone here using the product on a regular basis?

@ranjanxroy Silence.... lol

@ranjanxroy I use it sporadically as a place to post stuff, and almost daily as a source of beautiful photography and design inspiration. It's not hyper-active as a social network for me, but I think of it more as a Tumblr-like place with a tight-knit community of people. For example, this is one of my favourite Ello users: https://ello.co/freaktography

@ranjanxroy I Use it regularly, the app has made a big difference in the way I use the platform. I've been on the beta doing testing for the past 3 weeks or so, prior to that I would use it often, but not interact as much as I seem to with the app.

@ranjanxroy I go back on it briefly every once in a while normally triggered by the kind of random timings that the newsletters/updates are sent.

Mobile second - I'm so curious about the activity numbers here.

@bramk Same here, Bram. Would love to know how many people are actually using the service on a regular basis.

@erictwillis @bramk I think it starts with a 0 and ends with the same, excluding staff. Everyone rushed toward it last year and then forgot about it.

Aren't they all "ad free" until they aren't?

This is new iPhone app for the ad-free social network. The founder said that this marks a "feature-complete" version of the app.

@erictwillis The app still needs a lot of enhancements before it reaches parity with the web app. It's almost there, and the web version of Ello is pretty mature at this point.

It's surprisingly a very solid app.. Might get me to start using Ello again. I already found some cool links on download. (of course though, it's all about who you follow) Mine is https://ello.co/dja1o 😏

Really great first impression last night! Been using the web app and this could increase usage for sure. Granted, web app is beautiful for the large photography and graphics! 🍍

Given that this is from founder of Kid Robot, I'm surprised by how poorly designed this is from an aesthetic POV. It's ushering back the days of MySpace. A little more boring than it is ugly, but it's a close race.

I like the easy sign up process although I would worry about not asking to confirm my password as there's of course no facebook sign up to help get back in. It's a bit more like Tumblr than Facebook and Twitter - not sure if that's good or bad - but it feels like I'm not looking at the content, I just see a lot of stark black text on white everywhere with buttons all over the place. Not all that nice to look at. No edge swiping back annoyed me .

I did use Ello for 4 days, i really dont see the point of it :S Sorry Ello, you loose here buddy :)

While media reports and some early reviewers painted Ello as a return to simple and functional design, I do not find Ello or the new app to be appealing at any level. I can barely get through the front door before the urge to bail. While I pine for the day of having a real fb competitor, I cannot foresee Ello in it's current form achieving any mass scale product market fit.
