Hey Everyone!
August is almost here and we are on track for our Private Beta Launch next month.
We are looking at roughly 3 weeks from now as long as we don’t hit any major issues.
Last week, we wrapped up the ‘Block User’ functionality, software bugs, and added some text to the search screen based on when search results reflect a ‘No User Found’ result.
This week, we are doing final testing and digging for more bugs to fix.
Next week, our goal is to do some private internal alpha testing on physical phones to make sure there are no bugs we missed.
We will also be working on wrapping up the different approval processes for Google and Apple.
This means that Foto will be launching for iPhone and Android Private Beta Users at the same time or at least very close to one another.
We still have room for more Private Beta Users.
We are taking up to 5,000 people for Private Beta and then we will be closing it down until our public release later this year.
If you’d like to be one of the first people on Foto next month, reserve your unique username, and help us improve Foto, please join us at fotoapp.co/beta
We are asking for a $5 donation to help us cover some admin costs as we bootstrap Foto to create a new platform free from large tech giants.
If you’d like to know more about Foto and what will make it different, then here are 3 links for you to check out.
I’ll be providing weekly updates moving forward. If you like what we are doing at Foto, please tell your friends.
You can find us on Instagram, Threads, and X/Twitter (whatever the hell is going on over there).
As we launch Foto, we’ll be at the above places less and less. We’ll be communicating directly through Foto and our Substack more and more.
If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment below and I’ll be glad to answer them.
Cheers,
Michael Howard
Founder/CEO of Foto
I am so excited for this!
Looking forward to checking it out!
