imagine the fuck you money we’d make if apple introduced Buy Now Pay Later for in-app purchases they already let consumers split payments with apple card, stripe integration is still too early for consumer apps

when I first came to the US and saw how credit worked, I was confused why my balance kept going up when I spent money. like… up means I’m owing? I almost thought I was making money 😭

everything I know about virality came from launching this app 3 years ago did 100+ user interviews, threw parties and learned how status drives behavior girls suggested features I thought were dumb — until I realized they understood status way better than I did
