Another engineer and I wanted to build a lot of these meet-up features into MessageMe...this is a great first MVP! Like this app a lot. Very intuitive, great on boarding...Well done, David!

The thing the video should have got too SO much quicker is the fact your friends don't have to download this too for it to work. That is very cool.

awesome David T & Co. I'm evangelizing this to friends the way I used to push Evernote.

Looks neat from the use cases of the app itself ... but do they have a (grafic-)designer?

This is a nice augmentation of text messaging, though I can't really remember the last time I actually sent a text message haha

I think this is really cool, much needed. To be honest, I feel like you're going to have trouble migrating people to this app but the concept is good and if other messaging apps opened up their APIs, we could have really cool integrations

I love the capabilities in this app and the UX/UI however, I'd much prefer if it was a native additional keyboard rather than a separate app. I also would prefer if there wasn't a phone number change when non-users receive it. I don't know exactly how it looks when a non-user receives it, but I do like it and would love to get more people to use it.

Exceptional idea, kudos to Marc Canter and team!

It's like texting on steroids.

I was looking for something like this just a few days ago. Text functionality, at least on the iPhone, fits all of one scenario- 1 to 1 communication and sharing.

Do the outbound texts always come from the same number per user? IE can my friends add the number that Cola sends messages to as a new number to my contact in their list?
brianmaggi
@dantolb Yes, the outbound texts always come the 415 number. That's the number your non-Cola friends would use to respond to you. If they have Cola, then they respond to you with your mobile number.
