Description:
We are developing a horizontal social media app to help existing social media users to solve the vertical video syndrome by not changing the format of the post. There are three problems with Instagram: 1. Only Vertical Interface, 2. Modifying the shape of the post based on the app, 3. One Dominant Competitor (there isn't any other option)
Our purpose is to disrupt the dominance of Facebook Mafia, by giving another option to users other than Facebook. People are really dependent on Facebook Mafia (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp) and they can not leave these platforms even if they want to (no other option-yet). As we all know, we love options and don't want to be dependent on any platform. We want to be independent.
