Super simple, I didn't know how to code 18 months ago so when we started (was just I at that point), I stared building with what I could. The front end is built with React Native (JS) as it provides a way for us to more or less maintain two OS with one codebase. It also is somewhat simple for us to convert out code for web with react-native-web. We do use a series of community build packages (more than I would like) but that's how its went for us early stage. The back end is built with Rails as a simple API layer, keeps it simple to make models and controllers and build lightly with the focus on the architecture. Phone verification integrated through Twilio and we use Lockbox for at-rest encryption. Hosted serverless on AWS EB (if going back I would stick to Heroku at least until this point and beyond). As an experiment we also were building on top of the Matrix protocol (https://matrix.org/) with their Ruby SDK, but the cons outweighed the benefits in the end. Would love to figure out a solution here, and love the idea of interoperability championed by products like beeper.com. Overall, I think that React/React Native and Rails is a good stack for hacking MVPs and would recommend.

Waldo Photos

Are you ready to #deletefacebook but wonder where and how you’ll share photos with your family, friends, and colleagues?

Hey! Love the landing page for StoryArk & thanks for the ideas! Super similar concept. A few apps I've seen pop up in the space are Lalo (https://www.lalo.app/) and Waldo (https://waldophotos.com/). Yes, we initially had it this way and it seems from this HN launch that's what users prefer! The feature is flagged so we can bring it back and will likely do so (having an opt-in as you've mentioned). Would be great to connect and share learnings. If you'd like send me an email (james@oncircles.com).

Lunchclub

Curated 1:1 professional connections

That's really interesting - do you use anything like Meetup.com or are you on any discord/slack servers? There is a cool app that I've been using called Lunchclub (https://lunchclub.com/), it links you with another person one time a week. Might be worth trying if you haven't already. Otherwise I'd really been keen to chat on how we could solve that problem! Completely true about the people discovery apps (probably why most of them end up as dating or a hybrid dating/networking), so in my experience it seems that the only thing that overcomes this is strong interest based products focused on groups.
