The presentation of the RosSgram project at the beginning of the week left more questions than answers, starting with findings and problems.

As we have told earlier, some authors announced the creation of a competitor Instagram, which was banned in the Russian Federation with the recognition of its creator, Meta, an extremist organization in Russia.

At the same time, it continues to use, because The decision of the court brought out of responsibility using the application in personal purposes and do not violate any other laws:

Almost simultaneously with these events, a couple of entrepreneurs announced the creation of the "RosSgram" application in a record short time:

First of all, users criticized his logo, which was found at some abandoned youtube channel.

By the time of the presentation for investors and partners, the creators of RosSgrama presented an updated logo that reminded the inverted BEATS Electronics logo painted in Instagram colors.

The creators did not even have time to replace it on the site, which turned out to be made on a free engine. Moreover, as it turned out, the application on the phone only collects user data, after which it sends to the site with extremely limited functionality.

The development of the application is engaged in Alexander Zobov and Kirill Filimonov. The other day they launched the site "RosSgram". In the code, you can see that in its basis - the Creatium platform. In the biography of Alexander there is an interesting line - "fellow students of Pavel Durov." However, the Internet detectives could not confirm the last statement.

The developers of "RosSgram" have their own group in the VK and Telegram channel. There are extremely rapidly grow subscribers and the liberty prevail prevail.

It seems that the design and functions will be inspired by Instagram themselves, but additional monetization tools are also assumed, where the American competitor has not yet reached or did not release such functions for the World Audience - paid access to the closed content, the collection of funds and donates, the referral reference program.

At the presentation, Alexander Zobov presented the interface and the operation of the application, where, after loading the photo, it was proposed to indicate the price for it, as if it were about the basis of the "stock" images. Moreover, the price was indicated in dollars, and localization, apparently, some foreign technologies were made in a hurry and excluding the case of Russian language.

In RosSgram, you can download stories that are marked there as "3 seconds ago" or "3 hours ago."

From useful functions there was an opportunity to insert video from third-party resources - YouTube, Dailymotion and Vimeo, but such a function now supports many services. The fact that the list was not supported by Rutube and VK confirms the hypothesis about the overestimate engine.

Publications support annotations and hashtegi. Stories can be added, but without filters, stickers and other familiar features. At the same time, it was not shown the ability to add their video to the network.

Received the distribution application for familiarization, they said that Google Disk marked it as a virus containing. Instagram installation file on Android weighs 40 MB, and RosSgram - 3, i.e. At the level of the free calculator.

The Play Store store has even time to appear the fake application "RosSgrama", which kidding users. He was managed to upload 100 thousand times, and the creators of RosSgrama did not turn to the store in a timely manner for his removal, although they were warned about his danger in their social networks.

Thus, it has not yet succeeded from a loud PR-promotion. Create an analogue of a large service, which was developed in the West for several years, it is impossible for a couple of weeks, and an attempt to collect dividends on the hype is quite understandable. Here and the desperate users of Instagram, and possible government subsidies for a new development.

At the moment, both in terms of the concept, name, logo, and on the technical side in the capacities of hosting, the features of the application are not yet ready for mass use. At perfect definitely, you should not transfer my personal data to him, because Even in order to protect them on the site running on an open engine, you can not be sure.
