		mamp on April 7, 2019 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Ask HN: Which great products didn't succeed? Path. A private social network with a great UI. We set it up for our extended family and the children could use it without exposure to Facebook etc. Path had nice UI innovations that were later merged into other platforms. I guess people prefer a bigger audience over privacy.

Wait, what? Path was one of the (if not the main) reasons that Apple added the contacts permission in iOS 6, because they sent the whole list to their servers, and then texted people.
