Leftover is ridiculous, an app with hundreds of sound clips (called &ersounds) from &dmxbark to &marissamayerlaugh. It has an interesting story in how the app came to be. @lylemckeany, @thinkchap, or @kosvke can tell the story. 😊

@rrhoover thanks for posting, Ryan! The creation story is just a ridiculous as the app is. I wrote about it on medium: &WTF Is Leftover.

@rrhoover so really the story is when I was a kid i had this pet hamster, hamster named chubby. he was a real chubby little fur ball so when I squeezed him he would make this pew pew pew sound. I mean, I really wanted to translate that into a human experience, and here we are with leftover the story is really too long in how it came about to be, but this is one of the most organic apps that i've ever built, and happened in a way that was organic. one day I was hanging out with my friend Dave and Woody and we were talking about the stupidest most dumbest apps we could build. then Dave was like dude what if you had this app that was like leftover food and you could geo tag it and people could pick it up and eat it. and i was like well that sounds awful let's build it. and my friend dave was like, well haha yeah like you're going to do it. as Dave had an Android at the time, he bet me that he would get an iPhone (half jokingly) if I built the app. two days later i showed him the app i built and we went to get an iPhone. reason the app is named leftover is because it started out being this app where you go pick up food. we built it and had our friends at the co-working space use it. the funny thing is no one used it as this food-picking up app, we just had a commenting feature on it, and all people did were take pictures of cars, and people, and various inanimate objects. people were using this app to connect with friends, so that's kind of what it came to be. ampersounds kind of came about as an extension of making fun of poking fun of your friends and it just stuck. i dont know how these things happen man, it just happens. it's weird to build something that grows so organically. at this point i'm happy that it made my friends come together and laugh. that was nice.

@rrhoover from Lyle's medium post ... Dave said something like: “What if you had an app where you could take a picture of leftover food and it would blast it out to your friends and they could claim it.” They joked about how dumb of an idea that was (and still is) and Dave proposed a bet. He was an Android user then, so he said: “If you build it, I will buy an iPhone just so I can use the app and tell you how dumb it is everyday.” Two days later, Kosuke had a working prototype and they were off to buy Dave an iPhone.

This was the best opening blog post for an app ever... 'What is leftover? Great question! Hmm…where do I start? Well, I should probably start by telling you that it’s an app for the iPhone. You can download it here. Most of you will end up deleting it, but it’s okay, we know it’s not for everyone.' Love it. Should pre-curse every launch post Lyle. Love the uniqness too. Def lightening up a bunch of ppls day and/or future days. Fun stuff.

About time leftover is on here!!! Really cool story and awesome team working on it. Question: what's the most commonly used sound clip?

@davidspinks thanks dude! Glad to finally get it out in the world. The most popular ampersound all-time is &thuglife, which has been played almost 1K times, but the top trending ampersound right now is &carelesswhisper.

Interesting concept with great execution. Had way more fun with this in the past couple of months than anyone should with an app.

@jsneedles I think this is worthy of a @jsneedles 'Breaking News' Meerkat stream announcing the long awaiting launch of Lftovr.
