For the last few months, Harry and I have been building a new kind of messaging app. We believe that social media shouldn't be all about ‘friends’ and ‘followers’, but about the people around you, and the places you go. Nearly puts you in group threads based on where you are, so you can walk in and out of conversations, without having to sign up or check-in. We wanted to capture these shared social experiences, like queueing for a club or living in an apartment, with the intimacy and immediacy of a messaging app. We hope you like it, and that at some point we find ourselves in a thread together. J P.S. There's a secret way to add an emoji to a thread icon. DM us on twitter and we'll tell you. @heynearly

Super interesting concept y’all! How do you plan on handling moderation with such an open medium?

@hailpixel Thanks Devin. We're starting with a community moderation approach, so any user can delete any message. Users can also report messages. I'm sure this will evolve but we think the value lies in the immediacy of conversation rather than looking back at what people once said.
