   One of my favourite apps is shutting down: https://techcrunch.com/2018/09/17/rip-path/

   I paid for Path to try and ensure, in a small way, this didn't happen. It's the only thing all of my family have ever agreed on to use, and it's a delightfully simple app.

   Of course, they're all Facebook and WhatsApp users, so now that will be the default, unless I can get them to switch to something else. It would need to be:

   - Private by default
   - Delightful to use
   - Provide emoji responses

   Any ideas?

      There's a list of alternatives here, but some of them don't *feel* like alternatives because they're chat apps (like Telegram) or general social networking apps (like Facebook): https://alternativeto.net/software/path/

      The thing Path did well was make you feel like you had a private social network. What else does that?
