Ah that’s interesting. Amazing to see them actually respecting a copyright. They could still have gone with Facebook, though. I think the Instagram halo is real.
Not really "respecting" but more like avoiding to engage what seems to be an actual patent/trademark troll. Because I checked the brand's site and it doesn't seem to be working, but the patent is still held
What does it mean for it to be like Instagram but for text? Instagram I thought would be inseparable from photos. It’s akin to saying “like YouTube but for text.” What does that mean?
It's clean, intuitive UI is almost a clone of IG. They've then just reversed the primary content from photos to text, & strapped it with Twitter-like features (reposts, quote reposts etc.)
