I don't think the world's ready for this. Your idea implemented and spread, people seconds away from trolling General Chat from wherever, whenever.
Do some other kind of miracles that the first and second wave vanilla mods took on with LUA and the API, because I still feel the control I had over my WoW UI is a massive tree compared to my current ability to shake a single branch and wiggle leaves. I dream the impossible!
I've always wondered how do you go about creating an app that's practically useless before a critical mass of people actually use it.. heavy marketing?

Omegle, 4chan, and every forum ever, are good examples of the same thing. Just people talk about it and it gets out.

No not really. You can launch a forum with the purpose of serving a small group of people, for example a StarCraft clan. They find it useful among themselves, and in time they invite other clans to the forum.. maybe host a competition and use the forum for reporting. It can gradually increase and it's useful for everyone along the way. This qube thing is completely useless unless you anytime can pull up your phone, and see people actively chatting in your vicinity.

I've tried doing this with Yik Yak but couldn't
You can't private message someone on Yik Yak or in anyway privately contact someone via Yik Yak unless you broadcast to everyone else your cellphone or something.
I want qube to be the LFG, WTS kind of app where you could sell whatever you want in real time immediately.

This is the billion dollar question
But Craigslist for example has been around since 1995, I'm sure they've started in the exact same position qube chat is in. Because when you think about it when was the first time you "heard about" Craigslist? For me it was circa 2007. So it took Craigslist from 1995 to 2007 to get me to hear about it, I guess these things just take time to catch on. Rome wasn't built in a week

I feel like Portland Oregon is going to be the barrens chat
And I did just start working on an Android version, it won't be as fancy as the iOS to save time. But you'll get to experience it. It just makes sense to allow more people to use the app.
I can't wait to see all the Chuck Norris jokes flying through the Qubes. It seems like a cool app with an undeniable effort put forth. Good luck! I'll check it out.
