@bentossell i wonder how one can put all this effort for to code an app, sorry may be i do not see the use case but would like to know it :-p anyway hope it will find its earlyadopters :-)
@bentossell ok, so, with a companion plug into your smartphone breathalyser device, i do see a good use case. If you don't score below X, it opens up this instead of any other messaging app :D
@bentossell My first thought when my friend Louisa came to me with the idea was the same. Weird. But then over the next few days I felt the urge to write a text to someone that I shouldn't. So we built this V1 with @philipbroder. We truly believe that it will help some people dealing with loss, anger or lovesick.
@angel54689 I think I could get this if it gave you the option of: A - send message into the abyss; B - send message back to yourself in the future (no matter how emotionally charged you are about a person it fades over time); C - Alicebot like responses, possibly designed to encourage positive thinking?
@jamiequackers You are right! Unfortunately this doesn't encourage positive thinking! No offense to the founder, but this app is actually for weak people.
@jamiequackers thank you for your feedback. We love your ideas, completely agree and it sure does 'fade over time'. We are just there in that moment of anger and regret...maybe Azealia Banks or Kanye West could use Locket instead of going on their Twitter Rants!
@angel54689 We are not too sad but realized that when you are dealing with loss or anger there are so many ways to handle it. Being able to say what you want to say, without holding anything back because no one will ever see the messages is pretty powerful and therapeutic...try it and let us know what you think.
@stuartcorky Well, I know exactly what did you mean, because, I did that too in the past. And that's why I don't want to do that. I don't want to be weak. That's a very bad feeling, sadly!
So if I understand correctly, the app is used to simulate having a conversation with someone but really the words just disappear into the ether. Is that right, @stuartcorky?
@rrhoover thats right. Locket is made for that feeling you get when you have to speak to someone and you shouldn't (ex girl/boyfriend) or can't (lost a loved one). We spoke to lots of people who had draft emails and notes that they have written and never sent. Subreddits exist for this such as https://www.reddit.com/r/UnsentL....
There wasn't a way of doing this with messaging which is how most people communicate nowadays.
It is therapeutic, a release, a way to say what you actually want to say, unfiltered and completely private. No one will ever know.
