I think there's merit in a privacy first, no ads, no global/viral content app/service like this; there have been a lot of threads here on HN with related sentiment. I think the challenge is more a business problem - how do you pull users in when people may be scattered across various platforms? Are you finding that a single user purchasing a $2/mo plan pulls in additional users?

The business side of things might become a challenge, I have some ideas on how to overcome this without affecting the core product, but its definitely going to be a lot of experimentation. As for the scattered users, because its private its useful as a way of directly sending interesting things from other platforms to someone you know, rather than competing with those platforms. As long as there's one other person you know, its closer to a messaging service for links/posts than a traditional social network
