The Premise
An app that’s designed to make you laugh. Grinn is a social network that is characterized by playful memes, and all types of cheerful adorable content. The premise of the app is to provide people with the tools to express themselves in the funniest ways possible. I want the app to become a natural extension of people’s humor. The first to mind when they’re bored and in need of a laugh.

Overview
Grinn was conceptualized, crafted, and launched by me in 2018. While it remains a nascent creation, it has experienced numerous rounds of refinement. To fully materialize the product’s vision, there is much to explore, and it is still in its initial stages. Just imagine the possibilities with the upcoming v2, along with the innovative growth strategies and feature enhancements currently in progress.✌️
