Peter Cooper

I've been watching Capiche and listening to calls for a month or so now and think it's a fantastic idea 👍

To join the crowd above, I'm the publisher, although my involvement in this newsletter itself has been quite minimal :-) I am always happy to answer questions about sending email newsletters, email delivery, or the cut and thrust of running a modern publishing business in the tech space!

Hey, I’m Peter Cooper — the publisher of various email newsletters, such as JavaScript Weekly, Serverless Status and Ruby Weekly. We're now putting together a MongoDB digest each week, focusing on bringing together the latest news/tools/tutorials/etc on what's now become the most popular non-relational database. The ecosystem around MongoDB is pretty vast and growing, so we're trying to make...

Hi, I’m Peter Cooper, publisher of other email newsletters like JavaScript Weekly and Ruby Weekly. I’m working with Raymond on putting together Serverless Status, focusing on bringing together the latest news/tutorials/etc on the growing serverless landscape in an easy to read digest. Trying to help everyone make sense of it :-) We currently send the newsletter every Friday. Let me know if you...

Tried it with "peter" and got lots of puns replacing "water" with "peter".. "like a fish out of peter". Haha. I'm guessing it's using a naive algorithm with endings? It might be worth running the dictionary through a Soundex algorithm instead so you can get rhyming words.

Looks very slick. I'd couple this with something like the Zoom IQ6 (a pro quality mic that clips into the Lightning port) for even better productions.

There's a company here in the UK that has had quite some success with a similar product called Magic Whiteboard (in both white and clear varieties) - they also have a "blackboard" version which I used to use to block out the light in my kid's bedroom :-) I found this sort of stuff came in very useful at things like unconferences and events to quickly have a whiteboard on any surface, but prefer...

It seems more like adding Messenger to existing apps than building apps truly on "top" of Messenger. It only allows existing iOS or Android apps to add Messenger as an extra feature, rather than, say, something like "Magic" which would operate entirely on the platform separate from any app.

Just a note that the book refers to "www.yolo.tapir.me" a few times, but it doesn't actually work with the www, only "yolo.tapir.me".

I chair a couple of conferences and these immediately jumped out as potentially great gifts to give out to speakers (or even attendees if they were sponsored/branded, perhaps). Can you imagine the extra social possibilities if these were used at events?

I know I really love the idea behind this product because I'm now really annoyed it's not on Android :-) (All my iOS devices are smashed and waiting to get fixed..)

It reminds me a little of Seth Godin's Squidoo, but more accessible without introducing unusual terminology like Squidoo did ("lens", "lensmasters", etc.) :-)
