A bit of personal news!

I have been a founder for coming up to 3 years now. I started with a very simple idea. How can social be better?

Throughout the years working on this problem, I built multiple apps and versions of apps that ultimately failed. Resulting in where we landed with Abode.

The dream of @getabode and creating this hyper personal social, structured around close friends and meaningful relationships was (and still is) something that is very important to me. I wanted to take a different approach to what has been seen and done so many times already with social and try and create a space that is totally unique to you. Not just from appearance but also in functionality.

I can't say how incredible the response from the launch of Abode has been and how much positive feedback we have received.

Unfortunately, timing was tight and it wasn't quite enough to get us to where we needed to see it continue in the current state its in. There are a lot of characteristics that come to play with launching in consumer social, it's an incredibly tough space to build in, launch in, raise in. And for what me and the team achieved I am incredibly proud. I hope that this is used to inspire products in the future, and prove the need behind hyper personal social products.

For the time being I'll be pausing work on Abode, it will still be on the App Store, it will still be up and running. We're not shutting it down. But for the time being I'll be putting my focus elsewhere while I think through the challenges we faced and how we can come back stronger to make a bigger dent in the space.

Although this is a pause with my battle on consumer social it is definitely not the end. The learnings and journeys I have been through throughout this period have been incredibly insightful, tough, but insightful. I am very confident that when I am ready, I'll be able to pull off the incredible in this space, so stay tuned for that!

As for what I am doing next and where my focuses will sit for a bit? I wanted to take a break from the consumer social space for now, come back at it with fresh eyes and perspective. Stay tuned to hear more.

I'm genuinely excited about where the next path will take me, how I can help and ultimately how I will change things for creators.

There is a lot of work ahead of me, but some exciting things soon.

it is definitely on our radar but not our highest concern right now. We're not trying to be the next messenger but trying to break out into something more, but most messengers aren't e2e encrypted. X Dms, Discord, Slack, Facebook Messenger, Instagram DMs, WeChat, Telegram (unless using secret messages all the time).

[Abode @getabode]

@_bobolm_ we're encrypted yes. (we're not E2E) but have multiple layers of encryption on the db level and disk level.

@aliszu we did...

[Abode @getabode]

should we launch on Product Hunt? Who would have our back?

[Abode @getabode]

@orange_moltke we’re focusing on iOS first and ironing out creases and perfecting the product. But fully aware android is a big request and an important one. So it won’t be ignored.

Don't forget to turn the lights off for your pet.

Sleeping with the lights on makes the pet unhappy.

[Abode @getabode]

@aliszu it sure does!

Abode was originally built to manage grocery/shopping lists for couples. 👀
