@bentossell We hadn't considered a web version, but that could actually work really well - although I think I can speak for the other two makers on this project when I say that we'd have to get someone else to make it for us!
We do have some more features (perhaps other social networks - and a subtitle change...) that we want to add though, and perhaps an iPad version.
@siburb haha I give you until Monday... ;)
The reason I ask is that there is much less friction going to a site to look at this rather than downloading on apple tv (as you know!)
@bentossell Yes, as we were discussing just now, friction to download is a massive problem with AppleTV apps. At the moment, the iTunes page for the app is pretty pointless - except I suppose to appear in search rankings - because people can't download the app directly from the page.
Telling people to get off their computer (or phone) where they saw our app, go to their AppleTV, search for the app, and then download it is not a great experience!
Apple have just allowed us to use promo-codes for AppleTV apps, and the experience for them is much better - people can redeem the code via iTunes or on their phone, and then the app appears in their Purchased list on the AppleTV. Let's hope they do similar for normal downloads soon!
Really happy to finally get this one out there. It's an idea that I'd had buzzing around for a while, but only became possible when Apple added MapKit to tvOS in the latest version.
Created this a few months ago with two other great iOS devs @thecolourfool & @kabukivision for both the "ProductHunt Hackathon" and the AppLovin AppleTV App Challenge where it came in third behind two other great projects.
Anyway, we're really excited to hear your thoughts & questions Avian!
@siburb@thecolourfool@kabukivision@bentossell Simon was kind enough to let me test Avian : Twitter Map early on my AppleTV. I love the way you zoom around the world finding relevant discussions. It brings a new perspective to Twitter. What's next Simon? Maybe a standalone periscope version?
@paul_s_kemp@thecolourfool@kabukivision@bentossell That's another really interesting idea and I'll definitely look into it. This is why it is so exciting to finally get our product out there - we've been so close to it for so long, that the new perspectives are wonderful to hear!
