Show HN: Say hello to Instatus, my first app

7 points by needleme 13y ago ↗ HN

Hello,

here's my first app on the App Store, a week end project I've made with a friend. I had the idea - questionable - and did the UI.

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/instatus/id622077531?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D2

(there's also the free version)

The concept it's pretty simple, share your thoughts on Instagram, only words on white background so it will seems that your words will float into your friends feed - I suggest to not use any filter! - got already some ideas for future upgrades.

I'm giving away 3 code to get the full version, if you want one, just ask!

Best, Filippo

p.s. This message wasn't intended to be a "spam" for my app. I'm just happy that my first app is online! Hope you'll understand and apologize if I'm wrong.

Congrats.

One suggestion: Post an example of how a 'status' looks amongst a feed of other pics on instagram.

Thanks! Yes, totally true your suggestion.

Unfortunately you must now post an updated binary (and wait for review) to update your App Store screenshots.

Yea I know, that's boring. Btw I guess I'll wait some more little enhancements before sending the update

Congrats on your first app! A minor suggestion: change the "What's up" text to something more inline with Instagram users. I could see them using it to share quotes and such, but posting generic statuses ("What's up") isn't really the use-case for Instagram.

Best of luck.
