this is awesome! how did you guys pull this off technically? is there an API you're using that has video subtitle data?

@thatguybg Hey Brett – we manually cut the videos and matched them to words and phrases. We're using a trie data structure that then matches phrases to videos that are stored on S3 and cached using cloudflare.

@samejr got it - that must be why there are only a handful of clips available. I would love to see this done programmatically - let me know if you guys ever go down this route.

@thatguybg It's definitely one of the keys to scaling this type of app. We'll keep you posted.

I can't wait for an open Crumbles api. Need legit Slack plugin stat.

Crumbles is fun as a website, but the app version is even more useful (read: distracting)
