Curious how you plan to implement this on iOS? Will this be a jailbreak-only app/feature? I don't see how you can overlay the Blinq dot onto, say, Facebook Messenger without them bundling in your framework to their app. It does look a very interesting and helpful addition to messaging apps, but "addition" is what it should be, not a standalone app, hence curious about the iOS situation.

@adamcudworth As you may know, It is a challenge as IOS is more of a closed ecosystem. The experience would be slightly different from android. We want to keep Blinq accessible as a separate layer on top of messaging apps - The Today tab will be a good place to start. We might deliver relevant updates upon a swipe and a tap. We are still looking through several options. and we might have a couple of tricks up our sleeves - if you come up with some breakthrough I would love to know.

I've been playing around with blinq this week and it's been super helpful. I live 5000 miles from home and this helps me catchup easily as I message people. Great job.

@neilayton genuinely curious. How does one live far from home? Wouldn't home be where you live?

nice seems very useful when you get a message from someone you haven't spoken with in a while. First thing I do is quick scan of their social feeds. So help me understand...how do you push Blinq inside the Messaging Apps?

Great concept from a super, passionate team. There's a ton of value in spotlighting relevant events across multiple social networks/channels to help you stay current with friends/colleagues/acquaintances. Kudos!

Very cool. A friend and I were just discussing the other day how nice it'd be to get a quick summary of someone's social media footprint right before chatting with them. It would allow for more relevant and tactful conversations. Am a fan. :)

Blinq is a free mobile app that enhances your mobile messaging by displaying integrated social media updates from multiple platforms. It works within your messaging apps and appears as a simple white dot in the upper right hand corner of your smart device. By tapping the dot, you can view recent and relevant social media updates from friends, family, business or media, all in one place.
