Erudito Keyboard for iPhone (https://erudito.io https://erudito.io) It's a mini game in an iPhone keyboard, you play from any App, just by writing.
Common words give you little or no points, infrequent words give you points. You get bonus points when you write a sequence of words with points.
There is a leaderboard where you can compare your "skills" against other users and friends. Still need to implement a feature to segregate each leaderboard: general and friends.
The keyboard has realtime notifications and bidirectional communication with websockets, so you can know what other users are doing, this will be useful to have "death matches".
As you can see It's an experimental App. Currently is available on the Appstore (since last week) but I didn't promote it yet, I'm looking for users to iterate it more :) and crush few bugs along the way.
- tomcatfish 7y agoThat's kind of cool, but I immediately ask myself what kind of security measures are in place. What happens so that every word I type isn't automatically uploaded somewhere where I do not know how it is handled?
- mromanuk 7y agoThank you @tomcatfish! Regarding security, yes that's an issue. At the end of the day as a user, all you can do is trust. So the company is incorporated in UK, your data is protected under the GDPR, we use the minimum amount of data necessary to make the game work, we use SSL, authentication is done by Apple or Facebook (whichever user prefers). We don't sell information, nor we plan to use Ads, because of that there is a pay subscription. Anyhow every time you need to type something sensitive you can disable or switch to iPhone's native keyboard and go back whenever you are ready to play again :). (by Apple's design 3rd party keyboard get disabled when typing on a sensitive/password/etc input)
