Amazon Dash Button - Place it. Press it. Get it.

Amazon Dash Button is a wireless device connected to your Amazon Prime account with the help of which you can place orders for your convenience. It is a specified button for you usual orders. Just press it and you have it ordered, especially if you don't want to think 24/7 for that and you just remember at the moment you need it.

There's also an API for this. Super cool. Definitely got some integration ideas for that. https://www.amazon.com/oc/dash-r...

The question is, do they have a beer button... In all seriousness though, this is a very interesting experiment. I wonder if this happened after their Siri-like Amazon Echo interface didn't do so well. This seems much more intuitive. What do you all think.

@irvingtorresyc IF they don't, there will be one in 4, 3, 2, .....

What a time to be alive.

very cool. This reminds me of an internet of things like connected button.

Building the physical button right into a Kuerig or a water cooler would be the next logical step. Would also be really cool to design a pressure sensitive pad (or scale) to sit products on so when the scale senses that things are getting low (like flour or dog food) the product is automatically ordered. If this is an April Fool's joke, there'll be a real product on Product Hunt next week for sure. Great timing on Amazon's part.

@napoleonsuarez it would seem that is exactly what they're doing with some products: https://www.amazon.com/oc/dash-r...

Love that Amazon continues to throw stuff at the wall and experiment with new ideas. Admittedly most of their new physical products have been big failures (Fire Phone anyone?), it's this type of company culture that will eventually enable the creation of a big hit with consumers.

I remember people trying to do the kitchen scanners so you can scan things as you run out (or as you buy them) and it would reorder more. My issue with this is I'm not a big fan of having a bunch of different buttons all over the place.

gotta believe this is an April Fool's Joke lolol

Guys, I just got a confirmation from a friend working in Amazon that this thing is real (not a hoax).
Rachel Berry
@effifuks I really hope you're right because this is awesome. But I can't believe it until next week lol.

This is seriously cool. Still needs more Gary Busey.
