TextAngels - a Twilio Powered App to help teens dealing with issues anonymously
- napoleond 14y agoThis is so cool--thanks for building something that has the potential to really help people. Is there some sort of vetting process in place for the TextAngels who sign up?
- StubleU 14y agoThere doesn't appear to be any. I clicked to sign in with FB and after granting the webapp permission it presented me with three different users. It gives the city and a unique id for each one. Each has it's own threaded conversation and reply to whichever one you want. I like the idea but not sure about the implied safety of it for those in need or vulnerable....
- StubleU 14y agoAdditionally, it gives you the option to call them without any clear indication that they have control over the action.
