I'm a Glimpse user, I mostly send silly faces to my high school best friend halfway across the country... but I hear that there are some big plans in the works for Glimpse.
Could you tell us a little bit about your future plans for the app?
We're building group messaging! We'll be able to support groups with 250 members. :) It should be really interesting to see what happens when you move an email list or meetup group to a more visual medium (Glimpse is photos and videos with text and drawings on top.) This will also differentiate us from Snapchat a LOT more, by making Glimpse more about connecting with people in your social network or who share your interests (rather than messaging your close friends.)
@johnnyquachy Yes, pretty much :) We are also encrypted and delete messages from our servers immediately after they are viewed, which is a meaningful differentiator for those of us who are privacy or security conscious. We have some minor camera features that mean a great deal to our core users - "upload from photo" on Glimpse is the only way I can send a photo of a bunny eating carrots to all my friends at once, ephemerally, without actually having the bunny and carrots in front of me.

For those up-voting Glimpse, a big thank you from a user and Glimpse's independent board member. I'm jkhoey on Glimpse - join the conversation with me there too.
Awesome to see Glimpse on Product Hunt, because I really appreciate the (warm/inclusive/productive) community Ryan & Erik have been building. i'd would love to field questions about the app! Our newest feature is hashtags in bios - which makes it easy to connect with folks who have similar interests. I'm adding #PH to my bio now for Product Hunt. Other folks from the Glimpse team (Pax Dickinson, Kelly Hoey, Pocket) may jump into this thread as well!
Im a huge fan of Glimpse. I love the product and use it all the time. Its nice to know that its secure. Its also tons of fun to use. You can add me (sol123) on glimpse too
Thanks David! Means a lot from you :) Pocket - from Zaarly - recently joined heading up community for us on the east coast. My username on Glimpse is ladyboss, if you want to send some test messages, and I'm also searchable under #PH.
Hey everyone, great to be here. I'm pax on Glimpse, and i'm available for tech questions, encryption talk, exchanging goat pics, or applying for our Android developer role... hint, hint
