I’ve been working on Tact with @zilmer for quite a while. So glad that we got the public beta out before the end of the year! We’ve been so focusing on the product that we haven’t condensed our messaging into a simple “why”. There’s mountains of writing on our site, but if you want a simple list for why you should care, here’s mine: - Apple only. No Android. Focus. - Straight from your device to iCloud. We never see your data. - No ads. No data harvesting. No other weird shady things. Everything
Honest principles, clean design, native applications – all things I value in a good app.
Congrats on the public beta! Looking forward to following where Tact goes from here.
I’m not sure why would I switch over from solutions that are better, complete, more inclusive and that already exist? This doesn’t seem to solve for any real problem. “We don’t do bubbles” and “markdown” are hardly any benefits worth paying for..to say the least. For an app/service that aspires to focus on messaging, perhaps a message that is a bit friendlier to the user — instead of itself — could go a long way? Although I’m an iOS user myself, the ‘moral’ reasons why it would favour one audien
Apple only, uses iCloud, private? Why use this over iMessage?
