Rudy Huyn releases 6snap, a Snapchat client for Windows Phone

Published by at

Just as everyone remembers that Rudy Huyn is behind the third party Instagram client 6tag (and doing a better job with it than the official client), he releases a new client for an online service. 6snap is a Windows Phone 8 client for the popular Snapchat service.

Snapchat is a photo messaging application that allows users to send media to each other. The key selling point is that these media snippets are only available for a set amount of time - when you send something you can set the time for each of them to 'self-destruct', Mission Impossible style, from the Snapchat server.

Huyn continues to show his flair in designing interfaces that work well in the Windows Phone environment while reflecting the nature of the base application. Along with the core features of a Snapchat client, he has also added a number of Windows Phone specific features to improve the usablity of the client.

These include support for camera lenses, smart use of the live tile, and extensions in the Pictures Hub to allow for easier sharing of your media.
