They probably have already received the cease and desist letter from the &#x27;other Ripple&#x27; (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ripple.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ripple.com&#x2F;</a>)<p>....seriously what were they thinking?

Seems like a dangerous time to launch an app named Ripple.<p>I think LinkedIn is probably prime for being disrupted by something, but I feel like the &quot;swipe right or left&quot; interface has been monopolized by low effort activities (shopping, tinder, etc) and it doesn&#x27;t feel very professional. I wonder if the app will be able to succeed despite this.

Almost exactly like the defunct Weave: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;weave.in&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;weave.in&#x2F;</a>

Definitely agree that there is an unmet need and huge market here. Best of luck to them.
