Glad to see this out there, @pierrevalade. 🚀 I'm super curious to learn more about the long-term vision for Jumbo. I'm sure there's a LOT under the surface of what you launched today.

@rrhoover thanks Ryan! excited to share the launch with the PH community too. long-term, we simply want to build the best privacy assistant, which works for you (and not anyone else). i think of this as your digital agent, similar to a lawyer in the real world, who represents you and make decisions in your favor, because it's incentivized to do so (ie: you will pay for it at some point). you don't need to study law in order to be well represented in court, you need a good lawyer, and that's a fundamental principle of our judiciary system. (hopefully, Jumbo is more accessible to a great number of people than great lawyers are, because we're building software). long-term, there is great brand value to always make the right decisions for our users. for example, it's really hard work to make everything work client-side for Jumbo, (we don't have any servers processing your personal data), but it's worth it, so that over time (not today), people will trust the Jumbo brand to provide them with more services to defend their privacy online. short and medium term, it's always about building the best product, and the best team (we're hiring btw, email pierre@jumboprivacy.com if you want to build Jumbo) more philosophically maybe, I think the concept of being represented by a smart agent is something super cool: https://twitter.com/pierrevalade...

@pierrevalade Love the way you are looking at it, people will definitely need services like this. A smart assistant seems like a great way to go about it. Congrats on your launch Pierre, I look forward to seeing where you take it!

Congrats on the launch @pierrevalade 🙏 I'm curious as to what other features you're planning to build on Twitter's end of things. What do you have in mind for added privacy on Twitter?
Pierre Valade
Maker
@amrith thanks Amrith. Good question: on Twitter we are working on a similar feature than Smart Privacy for Facebook. Our Smart Privacy feature for Twitter will manage settings for you to protect you and save time. If you download the app and accept push, we’ll let you know when the feature is live
Steve McGarry
Love this concept and congrats on the launch👏 Reminds me of CleanMyMac but for social media/mobile 👍 Given Facebook, Google, and Amazon’s focus on user privacy currently are there any issues with their TOS or API usage? In the future do you see that being a roadblock or issue for Jumbo?

@stvmcg at the moment things are working fine. we are only doing things that the user would be able to do anyway.

The app looks amazing, the goal is great and I am really glad to see `We never collect, store or process data you manage through Jumbo. In fact, we don’t even know who you are.`. Is it going to be open source? What is your monetization strategy? Premium versions? When is an android version getting out?
Pierre Valade
Maker
@ianissoawesome 1/ we are going to open source some of our stack so we can be audited independently 2/ premium versions yes 3/ later this year we are hiring great Android engineer email pierre@jumboprivacy.com if you’re interested ;-)

Hope those problems can be fixed cause it looks like a promising app!

Pros:

- clean interface - seems easy to use

Cons:

- Twitter cleanup limited to 3k+ tweets by day cause of API limitation - Facebook cleanup didn't work for me, blocked at 40%

Thanks for your feedback! We had some issues with our initial release, and we've just released a new update that should fix all of them: https://download.jumboprivacy.com - let me know how it goes!
David Kampmann
I like it! Have a question, with items you “save to your phone” when other options show become available will you be able to move them?
Jeiman Jeya
This product is definitely needed in today's market where privacy is of the utmost importance. Any plans on releasing it on the Android platform? :)
cacarr
There's no web app? You start with a web app (preferably a proper PWA) to cover all platforms, *then* you release mobile apps -- and if you start with iOS, you have an Android app following shortly thereafter. I don't think it makes any sense to start with an iOS app for a service like this.
Jarod Stewart
Why do apps still not launch for both iOS and Android? It is almost 2020 guys...
Pierre Valade
Maker
@stewartjarod we can't make Jumbo as a web app. the reason we launch on iOS is that we're a small team, we can't do both. it's on our list.
Jarod Stewart
@pierrevalade I totally understand small teams and resource allocation, I'm just an iOS first hater :D.
cacarr
@stewartjarod @pierrevalade Why can't this be a web app? Couldn't a web app have at least some subset of the functionality?
Larry Gast
@stewartjarod Good news! We've put out an Android version :) Please check it out!
Austin Marshall
I love the idea behind Jumbo, and started by connecting Facebook and running the "clean" on the Weak option just to make sure I'm hitting a bare minimum of decent privacy practices. Simplicity is beautiful, but it would be nice to see a summary of which (if any) settings were changed after the process finished running. As of now I'm left wondering if anything actually happened. Plans for this addition?
Pierre Valade
Maker
@austincmarshall yes Austin! we are working on a new UX for that specific issue, which I 100% agree with you. thanks for the friendly reminder :-)
Michelle Tackabery

Privacy can't be a right reserved for people who can afford iPhones. Come on.

Pros:

Sounds fabulous. I adored Sunrise, and this sounds like a great replacement. If the Facebook glitches can be worked out, I will be on board.

Cons:

Please make an Android version.

Thanks for the nice words! We've released an update that fixes the issues: https://download.jumboprivacy.com

There are Android handsets that cost more than iPhones. Urgh. I get annoyed by this notion that everyone who prefers Android devices is poor or cheap. Many people simply prefer a mobile OS without the training wheels.

Yes, I also need this app for android. Jumbo App

@rrhoover Why'd I get a notification that it was removed when I posted this yesterday? https://www.producthunt.com/post...
Jake Crump
@rrhoover @andrew2 Hi Andrew! It looks like your post was created after this post, as you can see in the '-2' in the url. We try to not have duplicate posts on the site when possible. If there's anything else we can help with, feel free to reach out through the live chat option in the bottom right corner of the site!
Brian Breslin
Is there a plan to let me export the tweets I culled to csv? or how do i keep it going through more than 3000 tweets at a time?
Martin Manzo
Awseome idea and great design. I was just wondering, why set four fixed TW older than options? Setting a "Delete all before {insert date here}" option would be nice.
I love this product, installed it yesterday and have already started to purge my twitter account. One question I have is how do I delete my backed up tweets from the Jumbo App? I like the option of being able to back it up; but what if I want to remove them completely?
Scott Straub
@phrystile I have the same same question. I just want to delete the tweets entirely, but the app forces local backup. Doesn't appear to be any way to delete that local archive other than deleting the entire apps. The app is awesome otherwise though!
Sebastien Lhomme
Such a needed app! Good luck with the launch, and all the best to make the long term vision a reality.

@slhomme thanks Sebastien!

- For Facebook, I would love to have a list of pages I like to easily remove them for example - I can't wait to see how the product will evolve

Pros:

- easy interface, - seems pretty easy to use

Cons:

- facebook cleaning didn't work (stopped at 30/110) - maybe would love more choices to select what we would clean

We've released an update that fixes the issues: https://download.jumboprivacy.com thanks for giving it and try, and feel free to update your review :-)

@pierrevalade Congrats on the launch and riding on the privacy-first wave; great timing there! I would really love to see an email list to sign up for to get notified when the Android version is out. Of course only if you are serious about an Android launch in the near future 😉
Yann Lhomme
Great to see Jumbo see the light of day. This service is so needed. I hope it helps bring attention to something we should all be concerned about. Congrats for the launch @pierrevalade.
