Is there a captcha, or can people ding-dong-ditch you from a continent apart?
- mingusrude 2y agoThis is a good feature enhancement, to check the location of the ding-donging party.
- nkozyra 2y agoThough since it's trivial spoofed I don't know why you'd bother. Something like this really needs a periodic refresh or some proximity proof like NFC.
- swah 2y agoAt this point just knock!
- Towaway69 2y agoCrazy the doorbell replaced knocking and now the internet is replacing doorbells. Who invented doors? Perhaps that’s where it all went wrong. /s
- nkozyra 2y agoWe're willing to offer a $7M seed at a $50M valuation for your knock technology.
- Dilettante_ 2y agoSomething something Knockchain
- dirkc 2y agoOnly if you knock technology uses AI :)
- nkozyra 2y agoAnd only if by "uses AI" you say it has AI inside the hardware but really it's a network-enabled thin client that calls out to a server wrapping GPT calls.
- dirkc 2y agoRight now you can ding dong ditch if you have the code. As others mentioned using location could help. Or maybe a one-time-pin?
- filcuk 2y agoHonestly, for serious use - yes, but there is a fun aspect to the app. Have a friend or remote partner print the code, and ring a doorbell when they want to get in touch, or just as a reminder they'rethinking of you? Like a message, but without the 'baggage'
- beAbU 2y agoOn early-days facebook you could "poke" someone. Like a virtual empty message, it had no meaning or "baggage" linked to it, other than that the poke-er was thinking of the poke-ee at that moment. About a decade before that, we kids basically only had SMS text messaging, and it was very expensive in my country, mobile data doubly so. There was however a "please call me" feature, where you could send a "please call me" text to a friend free of charge. We used to send please call me's to one another all the time, not because we wanted to be called, it was just the cheapest form of digital communication.
- ultrafez 2y agoThe poke feature is back! It was re-introduced this year some time.
