Great questions, ty!

1. The UI (for now at least) is definitely inspired by olds. Some have called it MySpace x StumbleUpon. 2. Agree going retro future has its pros and cons tho and the point about chat UI path dependency. We were in fact leaning more AIM/MSN Messenger w that, and are hoping it clicks more when we roll out Graph chat soon. 3. Glad the onboarding 0 - 100 clicked. Hope that saves time for folks. Fun fact is I wanted to build something like this years ago, but didn't see ppl having the time to hand type dozens, much less, 100 key interests or media likes. 4. For sure would love to make this a native mobile app. It's a hack but I've gotten far in using the iOS shortcut UX to make a shortcut app of it on my phone. Maybe this can be a holdover for some before we get opt-in email digests live.

Thanks for the great questions and checking it out!
