Hi - I'm Thijs - I worked on the design for this. Ask Me Anything... For Android, we went all in on Material Design - I, for one, am really excited about Google's evolved design thinking for Android. It's fresh, clean and possibly a tiny bit 'Scandinavian'. Material Design, compared to iOS, really requires a shift in mindset for designers, with a strong preference for white-space, top-heavy...

Slick little UX bits in the app. Spiffy.

Loved this feature when I was living in China. All small businesses there are set up on QQ/WeChat. Well done path! And hoping for a roll out in South East Asia. Talk is certainly super slick and curious to hear what you're working on next.

@rrhoover you can add piethis.com to the list of "broke before tech press" (http://techcrunch.com/2014/06/10/with-800000-in-seed-funding-pie-wants-to-take-a-slice-of-the-enterprise-collaboration-market/)

@davemorin absolutely! We iterated a lot on this and I think we now landed somewhere where we give you enough to get into Pie easily, without the negatives (like seeing any sample content inside your Pie). Really appreciate your thoughts and thanks.

@andrea_sdl Angular was fantastic for us. There are many good alternatives, like Ember for example, but Angular in particular made the relationship between our front end and API development so much faster.

@clarklab Ooh. Love that - we'll be rolling out a good number of small things that will make the chat quite a bit better, like showing you were you last left off in the conversation. 'Read receipts' is not in there yet, but we'll explore.

Hi @davemorin - sorry about that! We've been trying different approaches to help people who sign up as one of the first of their company to have some content ready to play with. Having the content show that we used to explain how Pie works on first use, was something that worked well for that. That content was never meant to be posted permanently - we changed it, so this should not happen again.
