靠杯特 Call Better

A new idea for social applications.

Description

Call-better is inspired by many social applications such as Facebook, and is combined with the spirit of a series of Facebook pages named with prefix "靠北". It provides people some built-in features to express their feeling, just without the creation of extra social pages like those in Facebook. It simply has some usual features that can be seen in other social applications, and the followings are the special features with call-better.

1. Users can make posts along with an user list.
2. Users in this list will see the post, even he is not a friend of the author of the post.

The above let users ensure that those they speak ill of will see what they complain about.
