OK, I just joined. I hope to get friends to join. I got two friends to join. I can make a post right now... which those two friends will see.... but if more friends join in the intervening time between now and a week, I don't get to talk to them. So I don't want to post.

Basically there is a big disincentive to post if you are hoping someone else will join within the next week.

I feel like this is maybe a problem. At least if you want people to post at all.

Hey Ed,

Actually when you add a friend they get your most recent post. I haven't found a good way to communicate this in the app yet, but that's the functionality. Also, at any point you can share a post with any friends regardless of when you've made it.

Thanks for trying the app out, I really appreciate it!
