Show HN: Thrice Rejected by Apple for Enabling Porn, Vanish is not a porn app

2 points by ebby ↗ HN
It's a simple way to share pictures and see who's looking back.

How can you make your pictures look better? Put a blur on it (think Portlandia)! And when your friends want to see what's behind the blur, you'll instantly be notified. Not creepy at all.

Let's call it something nice, like digital eye-contact.

We built Vanish at Xylo Media as a fun exercise in developing an HTML5 mobile framework. And, more importantly, because the world badly needs another photo-sharing app.

We're excited to see what the internets do with this. Once again, don't use it for porn or to #FreeTheNipple, we have like a ton of moderators. All the moderators.

Download it now at www.vanish.fm or directly from iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vanish-fm/id793488785

Feedback appreciated, trolling expected.

Installed, signed up, app crashed. And now it crashes every time on load.

I uninstalled, sorry. Good luck.

iPhone 4S / Latest iOS

Thanks for the feedback. Will look into what happened.

Must also disclaim that since this is an HTML5 based app, performance on anything below an iPhone 5 is really subpar.

On the flip slide, performance on the 5/5s is nearly native. Interesting to see what the crossover will mean for app development in the future.
