What are the issues you encounter that prevent Warpcast from being a world class app in the social category? Mainly on mobile and compared against apps like X, Instagram, Bluesky and other network heavy apps. I wouldn't compare it with Telegram and WhatsApp for example since those are local-first apps, which Warpcast isn't.

whole app feels utilitarian. very little rizz. UX ignores snapchat, tiktok, fortnitification of design. UI lacks playfulness, fun, and premium touches like animation, taptics. too many taps to accomplish frequent flows, especially around composition. using warpcast feels like a chore where i have to do a dozen taps to achieve something simple while preserving state (ie feed position or draft text). blocking modals should be replaced by toasts with progress bars and CTA buttons. image and video uploads are slow media playback not world class. cannot even rotate landscape videos to fit screen. no media tab on profiles. women dominate social media usage and have been observed to communicate vibe via images (ig, pinterest, tt). arguably a masculine âintellectualâ bias in lagging media first features. DCs do not inspire joy, details like read receipts lack satisfying design flourishes. the landing page CTA does not correspond to what the app is actually good at.

Appreciate the thorough reply. I think there's much more to do before we reach a point to add more playfulness, fun, etc. (fun should come from its composability tbh). Just curious, do X and Bluesky have any of these playful\fun elements? The main one I can think of having fun elements is Telegram with all their animations and emojis.
