Show HN: Chatbox adds missing file comment & collaboration feature to Dropbox
- edwincheese 15y agoHi, I am a developer of Chatbox. It is a weekend project our team created to demo an idea we found interesting - Dropbox as a platform. Please let us know your feedback :)
- zitterbewegung 15y agoDid you use the dropbox api?
- edwincheese 15y agoChatbox stores data in Dropbox folder in user's local drive and watch for new files in that folder for incoming messages. It didn't access to user's Dropbox account nor send data to other service
- jaaron 15y agoAwesome idea, guys! Way to show off HK talent.
- keyle 15y agoThis is a good idea. How far is the Windows client, in the works? Will you charge?
- edwincheese 15y agoThanks. We will add the most requested feature first. So you may want to vote on a Windows client on our GetSatisfaction page to help us prioritize new features http://getsatisfaction.com/chatbox http://getsatisfaction.com/chatbox Chatbox is a tiny app we made as a proof of concept (and for fun). We didn't have any plan to charge yet.
- mhunter 15y agoI love this idea.
- kelseyfalter 15y agothis reiterates the need for online collaboration innovation -- down with Google docs
- almost 15y agoVery nice idea. It's the sort of thing I'd use if it were cross platform. But for people just on OSX (and there's nothing wrong with targeting just that market for the moment) it looks great!

- tseabrooks 15y agoWhats the use case for this over some type of revision control? Wouldn't revision control let you track changes and have comments with those changes? This feels like doing collaborative work from shared windows folders a la 1990. What am I missing?
