Interesting, I didn’t realize that the “Bro” app from Silicon Valley was based off of a real app.

I don't believe I've seen anything in the TV show Silicon Valley that wasn't based on something IRL. Dig around on anything that appears in that show, and I defy you to find something that the writers just pulled out of their ass.
