Memes do a lot of things, I donā€™t think making the world a safer, stronger place is one of them

Whilst the idea of a social network sounds passeĀ“, recent history is replete with instances (Whataspp, Instagram, Snapchat) that show that the space isnā€™t wrapped up. If Evan Spiegel had brought his Snapchat idea here, heā€™ll be met with unconstructive memes from those who havenā€™t built anything worthy of showing or lack the confidence to show it.

That said, @Dehinde_Molade - your site needs a lot of work. Itā€™s unclear how it works. Itā€™s terribly slow, which is primarily because you are loading a 3.5MB slash screen image. It looks like an academic project, and if it is, then add Yslow to your study material.

Do you even know what that means? Not the translation but what it means.

Bro, am a muslim for God sake.

That question is kinda hilarious

Here u go : Ya Allah = Oh Allah, O Allah,

I guess the nuance of the question is lost.

To call on The Gracious and The Merciful is to supplicate during prayer or to praise Him. Doing so to riducule someone is to say the least, uncool, and during Ramadan, especially uncool.

Letā€™s leave it at that lest OPā€™s thread gets derailed over a tangential emotive topic. :wink:

Jesus bro, you took this way way personal.

I will just leave this here

It comes from and is an abbreviation of classical (traditional) Arabic words ā€œYa Allahā€ (in Arabic ŁŠŲ§ Ų£Ł„Ł„Ł‡) literally meaning ā€œO Godā€. The phrase has also been transliterated into (Hebrew: יאללה), as slang, making it extremely common in Israel.

Have seen that you have been trying so HARD to be cool on radar.

We should refrain from trying to be cool by bashing others. I see people here that are supposed to be smart being childish. Don't think the idea is viable? Then constructively tell him so. Bullet point reasons will be enough. Is there a need for improvement? Then tell him so.

Duplicating a (insert western start up) for the Nigerian market, e.g. Uber for Potiskum that barely/doesnā€™t solve our peculiar needs/problems and prancing on Radar should not give you the right to arrogate yourself demigod status and sneer down on the lowly masses/use bad language like a badly raised oshodi tout.

If the shoe fits, then lace that mother&$*%$# up and take a stroll. :slight_smile:

OP. I went to your link. I found it very hard to know what your product was all about. I lost interest at the login page. How do I know itā€™s not a spam farm to harvest my email?

If ā€œtrying so hardā€ is recognizing that there are many people n Nigeria that donā€™t have my privilege, and are just trying to self-learn and pick themselves up by the bootstraps, and as such need constructive criticism and encouragement, rather than posting cheesy gifs, then I know where Iā€™ll dock my ship. I have nothing to prove here. Iā€™ve been there, done that, and gotten the t-shirt, in multiple countries, and multiple industries. I seek no validation from you or Radar.

Goodluck in all your endeavours sir and those tshirts.

We love the haters, it keeps us going.

TIL Heroku is a CDN

Thanks mahn. Works better with mobile.

The moment you start believing they hate you, the moment you may not get past where you are.

Why not take into account what some users have said about your site/app than talking hate n love.

For myself, I didnā€™t bother visiting not because I hate you and/or your app, but because I think Iā€™ve seen and used too many social networks that am already leaving some.

Gob bless your efforts commenting
