@stewartjarod we can't make Jumbo as a web app. the reason we launch on iOS is that we're a small team, we can't do both. it's on our list.
@pierrevalade I totally understand small teams and resource allocation, I'm just an iOS first hater :D.
@stewartjarod @pierrevalade Why can't this be a web app? Couldn't a web app have at least some subset of the functionality?
Love this concept and congrats on the launch👏 Reminds me of CleanMyMac but for social media/mobile 👍
Given Facebook, Google, and Amazon’s focus on user privacy currently are there any issues with their TOS or API usage? In the future do you see that being a roadblock or issue for Jumbo?
@stvmcg at the moment things are working fine. we are only doing things that the user would be able to do anyway.
If you're interested in automated services like this that one-click-fix your privacy settings, you may be interested in the open source 'Plus Privacy' https://plusprivacy.com/ - https://github.com/OPERANDOH2020... -
@pierrevalade you've been featured on https://blog.themarfa.name/obzor... and https://en.blog.themarfa.name/ju...
@mygreg that’s nice to start your day with such nice words. The team did a great work. Thanks to them!
Privacy can't be a right reserved for people who can afford iPhones. Come on.
Pros:Sounds fabulous. I adored Sunrise, and this sounds like a great replacement. If the Facebook glitches can be worked out, I will be on board.
Cons:Please make an Android version.
Thanks for the nice words! We've released an update that fixes the issues: https://download.jumboprivacy.com
@phrystile I have the same same question. I just want to delete the tweets entirely, but the app forces local backup. Doesn't appear to be any way to delete that local archive other than deleting the entire apps.
The app is awesome otherwise though!
@luikohl thanks! we are going to ship one update a month with each time new apps supported and more features for existing apps! Next update: early May.
love the identity, the ui and the overall project! great work @pierrevalade and the team ✨
Is there a plan to let me export the tweets I culled to csv? or how do i keep it going through more than 3000 tweets at a time?
I like it! Have a question, with items you “save to your phone” when other options show become available will you be able to move them?
Thanks for your feedback! We had some issues with our initial release, and we've just released a new update that should fix all of them: https://download.jumboprivacy.com - let me know how it goes!
Great to see Jumbo see the light of day. This service is so needed. I hope it helps bring attention to something we should all be concerned about. Congrats for the launch @pierrevalade.
Such a needed app! Good luck with the launch, and all the best to make the long term vision a reality.
The app looks amazing, the goal is great and I am really glad to see `We never collect, store or process data you manage through Jumbo. In fact, we don’t even know who you are.`.
Is it going to be open source?
What is your monetization strategy? Premium versions?
When is an android version getting out?
@ianissoawesome 1/ we are going to open source some of our stack so we can be audited independently
2/ premium versions yes
3/ later this year we are hiring great Android engineer email pierre@jumboprivacy.com if you’re interested ;-)
Glad to see this out there, @pierrevalade. 🚀
I'm super curious to learn more about the long-term vision for Jumbo. I'm sure there's a LOT under the surface of what you launched today.
@rrhoover thanks Ryan! excited to share the launch with the PH community too.
long-term, we simply want to build the best privacy assistant, which works for you (and not anyone else). i think of this as your digital agent, similar to a lawyer in the real world, who represents you and make decisions in your favor, because it's incentivized to do so (ie: you will pay for it at some point). you don't need to study law in order to be well represented in court, you need a good lawyer, and that's a fundamental principle of our judiciary system. (hopefully, Jumbo is more accessible to a great number of people than great lawyers are, because we're building software).
long-term, there is great brand value to always make the right decisions for our users. for example, it's really hard work to make everything work client-side for Jumbo, (we don't have any servers processing your personal data), but it's worth it, so that over time (not today), people will trust the Jumbo brand to provide them with more services to defend their privacy online.
short and medium term, it's always about building the best product, and the best team (we're hiring btw, email pierre@jumboprivacy.com if you want to build Jumbo)
more philosophically maybe, I think the concept of being represented by a smart agent is something super cool: https://twitter.com/pierrevalade...
@pierrevalade Love the way you are looking at it, people will definitely need services like this. A smart assistant seems like a great way to go about it.
Congrats on your launch Pierre, I look forward to seeing where you take it!
