They-
They removed, you know, public metrics.
They didn't have, you know, likes and comments and things like that to reduce pressure.
They disappeared after 24 hours so that everyone could start the day fresh again, you know, the next day.
And they, you know, maybe most importantly, were in chronological order, which is the way that people have told stories, you know, since the beginning of time.
So I think that's an example where like listening is incredibly valuable.
All of those insights that we received just from listening to folks made a huge difference in the product design process.
But we didn't build exactly what they asked for.
We empathized and then came up with something new.
It was iterative because in a lot of ways, some of the early ideas, you know, started more around like a status update, you know, that, that was sort of like, you know, how could you know what your friends on Snapchat were up to, even if you weren't sending snaps back and forth.
And so, you know, it sort of started there and then, you know, again, through talking to people and iterating, understanding.
what folks were really looking for, we ended up, you know, ended up with stories and some of the gestures, you know, that people maybe take for granted today, being able to tap forward through stories and backwards through stories, full screen, right?
Vertical content.
Those were all really new things at the time.
You know, one of my favorite stories was around screenshot detection, actually, in the early days, because when we first built Snapchat and we shared with people, oh, you could send photos to disappear.
Everyone said, no, you can't.
You can always take a screenshot.
What do you mean you can send things to disappear?
That makes no sense.
And so, you know, we thought a lot.
