Me and @hursh built this in a week for funsies when Julius and Alex were working on Phonetag. Trying to improve on our in-company chat. Selfies turned out to be way more fun than we thought. I thought of them as a replacement for stickers or emojis, but they make the chat way more personal.
Yeah I think it would have taken less if we didn't use Mongodb :) We were trying to learn some new tech.
We built SMS because you know, sometimes you chat a coworker and they aren't looking at the chat window or they are off their desk. I think it has worked :)
