> So after I launched this product I had more orders in the first 24 hours than I did in total with my startup that took over a year to develop.

Can you please elaborate on what you did to get orders? I would think it would be many times harder to get a first order from someone you don't know, than writing the app.

since specific numbers aren't provided, he could have had 2 orders in his pigeon app and 1 from his prior effort and his claim would be true.

The "boomer age" people I know who want to print pictures and send them to someone go to a kiosk at the drugstore or a copy shop, where they also pick up a greeting card in which they typically like to handwrite a note to the recipient, that was the sort of thing people used to consider courteous.

I would imagine that a good deal of the orders are from the friends that were mentioned.
