Later

quote:

Before you going to the Party at the Mal, yo the work, with LATER, find in advance the people who will be on this place.


About this project

Later is a wave of inspiration of the app Tinder and Happn.


Let me explain why : ·

Tinder is the first app that revolutionized Dating. The concept of geographically close to the user.

Basically, to meet new people; everything happens in the PRESENT MOMENT. ·

Happn, is the second app of Dating having changed the game with their concept "FIND THE PEOPLE YOU'VE CROSSED PATHS WITH ".

Basically everything is in the PAST MOMENT.

VERY ORIGINAL !!!!

Now what he would do to change again the situation in this field ??

THAT'S SIMPLE !!!!

Create an application that will happen in the FUTURE NOW. This is how LATER was born.

Before going to the Party, at the Mall iot go to the work, with LATER, discover in advance the people who will be on this place

It's hard to be humble when you're as great as I am.
So they're automatically aggregating peoples social media content and trying to attach it to a real name? Surely they realize that their website will doxx just as many innocent people as trolls, if not more because trolls probably know how to stay anonymous?

edit: I guess they're manually adding them, which makes their goal of 150,000 profiles a bit questionable. How much digging can you really even do at that scale.

I wonder what their plan is when that person that posted "you tit game on point girl" on a Laci Green video is shockingly 14 and oops they just publicly released the personal information of a minor and gently caress-

Another in a long line of kickstarters that should hire an attorney as soon as they are funded and that attorney will be professional obligated to tell them to not do their entire business plan.

The latest tale of crowdfunding woe is Coolest, a company that was meant to build an all-singing, all-dancing cooler with a built-in blender and Bluetooth speaker. The project was funded to the tune of $13 million, but that’s when things started to go wrong.

The February 2015 shipping date came and went, with a laundry list of problems around the design and manufacturing. Delivery began in July 2015, before a strike at the manufacturer of the blender motor halted production.

At some point, Coolest realized it had been promising the impossible: the $200ish that Kickstarter backers had pledged was below the cost price of the coolers, and Coolest ran out of money to continue production.

Coolest sent out an update to backers, offering them the chance to pay $97 to receive their coolers by July. If backers don’t fork up the extra cash, they won’t receive their coolers for a long time yet—assuming, of course, that the company hasn’t folded by then.

My favorite Shark Tank pitches are the phone app ones. Although a couple of them were legit moneymakers and got deals, most of them completely flounder when the sharks are like "And how are you going to make money with this free app?"

dunno about actual clothes but a towelling hat comes in drat useful at times. I sure as hell wouldn't go swimming in it though.

You could conceivably wear those clothes over swimming gear and just wander around in them after you'd been for a swim but you'd look mighty strange. Still might beat lugging a beach towel around if you're going to spend a day near the water.

Hold that pose.
I've gotta get something.

Wasn't a lot of the trouble for this thing from not valuing stretch goals correctly? Like, if they hit their asking price, they could've made the cooler they wanted to, but they kept adding stuff from stretch goals and it became unwieldy? Because it's not any less tragic or funny, but definitely more understandable.

Okay, so a funny thing's happened. Out of curiosity I went to that anti-bullying website and added my own youtube channel to their database. It gave me some error, but now, after 5 hours or so, I get not one, but two identical spam messages

My channel has no videos and only two random subscribers and this is the first time I get any spam at all.
Can someone try to replicate that? If those idiots sell peoples' account info to spammers, I'd like to file a complaint, because this is beyond some silly talk about cyberbullying, especially considering anyone can add anyone.

I hope they won't try to spin it as some sort of a political move from kickstarter to attract more attention to this project, and instead will just move on to something completely different.
