Do you mean the one behind the video of the screen? Its just the corner of a photo we shot. Its a little out of focus. Not sure what its called.

Very interesting. We already track "errors" (responses that don't have connections) and we could make a real time error corrector. Let's say you have a yes/no question and someone says "nah." If you didn&#

We're thinking webhooks would be a good way to achieve this. A texter gets to a node which does a webhook to your server which provides the options or the response. Perhaps some sort of database could be built in the future if we see d

Good catch! How much do you think we need to worry about vertical monitors?

Very interesting! Couple of things. We're actively working on SMS to live chat, which might take care of editing tree in live time. We've thought about the thesaurus and are thinking of going in that direction in the future, but r

We don't have awesome data on this. But, we're working on it. Personally, I think it really depends if the texter wants the interaction. It can have great utility or be somewhat annoying.

Thanks for the feedback! A lot of the use cases we're looking at are reaching out to populations who want the messages. For example, high school students who've been admitted to a college and are looking for info on summer events;

Maybe... I've been to both. It would be hard. But, I also think there would have to be a change in expectations about what a server farm is... What it looks like. I think it could be very important to make it work in Haiti, even if it

CS grads are educated but not trained. The reason their unemployment rate isn't lower is because they haven't demonstrated their ability to build--to translate theory into practice. The ones that get hired are those who can hit the ground

Is it just me or do the new buttons not really fit with everything else. They look very flat. But most other components have shadows and still look like old bootstrap

Can one post a video here? What is the signup for?

Well, its a demo, right? Will there be any real users on it? If the meet and bones of the demo isn't user authentication, does it really even matter? As soon as there is real data, I'd say its a problem.

Thanks for the feedback! Some folks love the header, some hate it. I imagine it has to do with the fact that on some browsers its a bit shaky...

This is awesome. Really powerful stuff. I wonder about one line: "I hope that your initial interactions involve an immediate transfer of trust in your abilities, rather than starting off by always having to prove yourself." I'm not sure I a

That's so cool! I wonder if anything like this will ever be standard. I imagine people would be creeped out if their webcam was always on, but its a really cool concept.
