@corellana, An amazing app. It's a pleasant surprise that an android version's available as well :) Product Hunt is notorious for being IOS centered.

I like this app, it is very intuitive and easy to use. It shows me really interesting topics. I really like the fact I don't need to log in.

I love the plug and play philosophy, download and use that's all I want. p.s.: thanks for include toggle dark mode.

@michaeldoucette1 Happy that you like it! Although at the moment the app is only available for install on Android, you can use the Progressive Web App (PWA): https://bydetour.com/ and have the exact same functionality in iOS :) Tip: using "Add it to your Home Screen" option in your browser helps to keep it at hand

How does the setup compare to something like Branch in terms of time to integrate for a React Native app? Congrats on the launch!

I'd love to know more about the decision of not having a login. Interesting detail.

@david_greenberg We are challenging the status quo. Companies normally collect way more data than needed in order to offer a personalization experience that is not even the best. We want to show people that you do not need to give up your privacy in exchange for a customized experience. Thank you for your comment :)
