I thought of a way of introducing something new into the messagin sector of the app world. Couldn't introduce an app that did the same thing every other app did. It would have been too mainstream if I created a text messaging app. The whole world already does that and besides, its not very innovative. I needed to make a mark and create something no one has ever thought of and thats why we have "Just Talk - DTJT today. Yes it might be a hussle to excecute it as I had no skills in coding but, I had to excecute the plan anyways because it sounded like a damn good idea! Pictures where taken with ideas like instagram, snapchat and faceook, Texts where taken with the likes of imessage and whatsapp and it was possible to send voice notes in almost all of the apps, but then i noticed that none was bespoke for voice messages only and besides there are some things that we just can't type or be bothered to type. there are times you want to pass a message accross quickly with a phone call but you just can't because the other user cannot use their phone at the moment. Voice mail does cost a bit sometimes and you don't always love how you sound when you hear the voice mail play back. Sometimes you start typing a chat/text to a friends but then it becomes so long to read. Or perhaps you're dyslexic and can't read texts everytime. The issues go on and on. I decided to create a solution to that. Some people may argue that other apps already send voice notes and I agree but none of them are made for sending voice notes. Voice Notes are more of an addon, whereas Just Talk is made for seding voice notes and to make things better and more interesting, you can change how you sound. Voice filters from sounding like an object to sounding like someone or something you love dearly, to add to that, its fun! I Didn't stop there still. How about making it more fun? I asked myself. Give users many access to their messages but limit their acess against time. So users may be able to listen to their messages as many times as they please but only within 24 hours. After 24 hours all would be deleted. I also found a way to increase the fun level of the app. messages would also delete even if you do not open the messagges. all receivers have 24 hours to open and listen to a message or it would be deleted. It is also easy to spot those who have not opened your messages after 24 hours. In future you would see things similar to story in other apps, but mine shall be called "pods" rather than sharing a story like other apps, you share pods in mine (they will be voice messages only). This feature is to come in the next few weeks.
So now you know alittle bit of history about me and more about the app. I would take this time to say "Happy Sunday" to you all and thank you for reading. Do something nice to celebrate my first month on the app store if you can. #nopressure
Here are some throwback pictures (one year ago). After drawing the screens of the app with a pencil on a peice of paper, I drew it on a PC with paint. I hope you enjoy viewing them.
