Yes, primarily quotes/quotable content. Inspirational, motivational, enlightening, insightful, comforting... any short-form content that's interesting and meaningful enough to share with others.
I hope people use the app or platform (via in-post submission etc) to share their epiphanies and the platform becomes a rich source of the above content.
OK, thanks for explaining. I'm wondering if you've encountered many people who are looking for a way to share epiphanies, motivations and quotes, or to read such from others. I'm also wondering what would be different in sharing them using your app vs using the existing frontends.
The primary difference will be that the content will be focused (not mixed with other types) and so will the discussions around it. As such, social tools and monetization methods will be tailor-made for the type of content and the audience. The API will also provide an integrated way for people to include the quotes in their posts or comments, whichever frontend they use, which pulls in the discussions/content/context.
It won't have "HIVE reward pool" monetization, as the ideas I have about tokens are not compatible with the global pool (probably an SMT would be suitable). This is not to say there won't be other monetization opportunities. I have a couple of ideas I'm working on.
There will be many other differences, most of which will become apparent as I share more details on the platform's design and as the use-case develops.
I'm not sure what the market size is for this kind of app, but I know that it's a use-case that I would utilize and hope others will too. Then again, the market size is a dynamic estimate, which can change as the product's adoption increases. Really hard to tell. We'll find out. :)

Are parts of your back end code reusable by other projects?
Yes. All the code will be open source. I will put up a repo soon.
Great! And if the code was written with reusability in mind, all the better.
