imzy

@kickme444 hey there, congrats on the launch! Go figure, but here's some feedback: I was trying to sign up with my phone number and received a verification code, but the iOS app claimed it was invalid. I tapped the "resend code" and it took several minutes for another code to arrive... Also, there's a typo during on-boarding:

@chrismessina Thanks! We'll get that typo fixed and look into the verification code ASAP.

@chrismessina we allow you to post anonymously AND anonoymously :)

@heathwblack I thought it MIGHT be a feature!! :)

@heathwblack i don't think i've ever spelled that word right in my entire life tbh.

@chrismessina good morning, sunshine!

@chrismessina also with all due respect, take a look at the team behind Imzy ;) They're not MySpace, G+, or Facebook. <3

@chrismessina I'll let @kickme444 chime in regarding the other stuff, but I'll address the branding. I thought some people might make that link but we feel like our branding is more focused and less nebulous than my____. Ultimately, we came up with our positioning after extensive user research with our Beta cohort. Here's a couple thoughts on why we chose "Community as _______ as you are." - We are community oriented. That's the foundation of what we're doing and we wanted that explicitly stated in our positioning. - HOW people build community and with whom they connect is so diverse. We want to celebrate that and build our platform in a way that empowers that in the future, hence the ________. - We need both of these aforementioned statements to be true for us to succeed.

@drew yeah, I was up late drinking. Definitely feeling punchy and stressed, so, my bad if I came across as a Debbie Downer. Not trying to dump haterade, it's just what came to mind. Stepping away from the keyboard. 🤐

@heathwblack @kickme444 don't get me wrong — I really like your branding. It was just thematically familiar. The Imzy character is super cute. :)

@espenteik The Imzysaurus was all the work of @jalehafshar! It makes stickers and t-shirts and things much more fun to wear and decorate everything with.

@espenteik Thanks for the kind words! The Imzysaurus is the character I'm most proud of designing.

@kaelagardner Let me know when I can buy a t-shirt! :D @jalehafshar

@jalehafshar You should be! Love it!

@espenteik @jalehafshar We were giving them away during private beta to everyone who invited at least 5 people, but now that that's ended... I'm sure we'll come up with a new reason to give away shirts soon! :D
