This is an open source project and hence lacks the resources to document or be as polished. As mentioned in my comment below it is a OS which runs only one program which is the Kodi Media Center but it will support Apps along with Kodi Medi

This is from their wiki site for more clarification Kodi is a media center application and OSMC is the operating system that runs Kodi and brings it to your device. OSMC is not a fork of Kodi but rather a Linux distribution that ships Kodi

I agree but there is no need to poll. Polling is a poor mans solution in a world where you can have persistent connection and get push notification of when a new item is added to the queue and there is no need to throttle for 10 seconds bef

Why are you adding an extra level of abstraction in between Rails and Sidekiq? Why not just have Rails push to redis queue and elixir process finishes the job of sending email or doing what it has to do. Why have Sidekiq run at all? It seem

They probably have other companies too. Why just Geico and why not list other companies. It seems bit out of place and gives an impression that Geico is doing bad enough that they need to be advertised.

Making money through ads is probably the least creative way to do so. Also if ads become annoying people will switch to another app.

Snapchat did it in 4 years compared to FB and FB was a site/app/platform back then where you logged into a site using Facebook. This is not the same. It is just an app.

The risk of loosing the users to another app in the future is not taken into account in this valuation. What if all the teens grow up and move on to another app and the new teens do not use Snapchat and use another app that goes viral?

A $19B company created in 3 years without any revenue model from nothing by a college kid. This is bit shocking. This smells like a Ponzi scheme as the valuation keeps increasing over time even when there is no revenue generated. The losers
