Nikita is smart and world-class at tactics. But hasn’t built anything at-scale or enduring.

fair point

he focuses on first impressions because that’s a key ingredient in his recipe of social apps (virality)

everything is experimental |
a decade+ of consumer products | farcaster godview: /intelligent | self exploration: /tanishq

What's the last at-scale, enduring social app that went viral? Over what time frame?

Depending on your definition of “enduring” BeReal, Locket. Locket has pretty much stayed in top 15 Social Networking App Store charts its whole existence.

How many DAU, though?

BeReal, Locket, Clubhouse, Retro all recent but unclear if at-scale

Last at-scale from a startup is Snap (TikTok funded by Bytedance). So 10 year drought.

to be clear, all of those apps are really well-executed

@nikitabier probably has a better read on DAU numbers for these, but would guess BeReal and Locket are in low millions to 10m DAU. Retro guessing 10s of thousands DAU. Clubhouse... idk.

Agree that snap is the last big one
