Pros and cons of Posting
+ Easy to share something with friends
+ Easy to get responses: by "heart" or "likes"
- Hard to talk about the post: This may sound weird, but think about the comments; there's only
"Gorg🤩"
ㄴ "You're more 😍"
and the conversation is done! It's even weird to call this as a conversation. These conversations are super short because the comments are shown to others, which is not private, and comments are not made for long conversations. This can be solved by combining Chat to the Post.
Pros and cons of Chatting
+ Easy to get closer to the friend by chatting more and more
+ Easy talk as long as u want to
- Hard to start a chat with the friend who isn't that close with you: Can be solved by a post, since post makes it easy to get responses by "heart" or "likes".

*That ❤️ button does not work as "like" button, but it works like a quick message.
It sends "I love it!" as a message quickly.
Why I made this app
One day using Instagram, I felt it polluted. Most influencers on Instagram had a perfect body, with perfect face. Even my friends were like them; they took a picture in a perfect places, in a perfect mood.
They were all too perfect, and it made me think about why I couldn't be perfect like them.
Then, I realized that they were just "showing" themselves as a perfect person. My friends weren't perfect at all, but they tried to be look like a perfect person on Instagram.
I tried to know why my pure, kind friends showed themselves as a perfect, attractive person on Instagram, and I realized that the problem was not my friends, but the Instagram itself.
On Instagram, we have to import photo for posting. This shows that Instagram makes their user focus on "how I am shown to others" instead of focusing on their friends. Allowing users to easily chat about the post can make users focus on their friends, instead of their appearance.
