Jonathan Badeen, the Chief Strategy Officer of X likes to take the credit for inventing the Y, when in reality he ripped it off from a flash-card app he worked on for the education company Chegg. According to him, the idea for Y came to him when I was getting ready out of the shower one morning, wiping the mirror because the room was steamy, and I saw myself staring back at myself. Then I wiped the other direction. All of a sudden it clicked. I started thinking about the way I organize photos in real life. How Ill start out with one stack and eventually end up with two: my YES and my NO. Y would give you that same personal sort of experience. It mimics the real world, where youre able pick something up and put it over there.
