Ah, push it

[Product Hunt]( [Read in browser]( [This newsletter is brought to you by]( [The buzzy app at the top of the App store]( Who remembers [Yo](? The app went viral back in 2014 to the surprise of many people, including the makers themselves. They had built the app — the one with a single button to say “Yo” — in 8 hours as a quick way to communicate with family and friends. With its own momentum, and [buzz]( generated from Product Hunt and Reddit, Yo launched to the top of the App Store. Then there was [Push Party]( almost exactly one year ago today 🤔... we're still waiting for an update on that one. The reason for our nostalgia? A new app that hit the top of the App Store last week across 5 countries, called [Push it](. The app has a single feature. The big red button lets you send a push notification to everyone who subscribes to you on the app. Simple as that. Yo comes from the makers of Sendit, an app that lets Snapchat users play games (like Truth or Dare) and start AR-powered conversations with their friends. The app has been gaining traction with 9 million downloads worldwide, so the makers created Push it to explore more mechanics for driving interactions between friends. We’ve seen other startups tackle the challenges of [push notifications](, but products in this space are almost always meant for businesses. We’re looking forward to seeing where this P2P push goes, but unfortunately, most of us will have to wait a bit longer. Push it is only available to users in California and Australia for now. “But didn’t you say it’s at the top of the app store in five countries?” Yup. The buzz is strong with this one. If you don’t live where Push is live yet, you can always add it to a collection on Product Hunt and save it for later.
