I was excited to see the Hangouts integration but disappointed to see that I cannot use it to send text messages through Google Voice in Hangouts. Is that planned?

@ssnacks You're correct that it's not currently supported. We've thought a lot about how to bring the ability to SMS (for everyone, not just Google Voice users!) directly into the conversation and are really excited about it. Can you share more about what you're hoping for?

@ajbouh I want to replace the Hangouts extension in Chrome. It is buggy and often has to be restarted. I use that to mostly communicate with people via SMS through Google Voice.

@ssnacks Got it. Unfortunately we aren't aware of any public/third-party-accessible APIs that allow that sort of sending. I believe this is partially due to the amount of churn in Google's own product offering. To others: if anyone knows of third party apps that have pulled this off recently, we'd love to learn about them! We'll definitely keep you posted about progress we make on this front.

Just For Today by Fred (Not Freud)

Looks really cool! Being in the same space as HipChat, Zula, Slack and others, I see you have some integrations put together, but are there plans to a) open up an API and b) have some sort of push-notification option for mobile? I'm on a PC these days, so I'll have to wait for a proper Windows version to come out (or until I get back to Mac). Looking forward to really checking this out.... before it becomes self-aware.

@avizuber Thanks for the feedback! a) Yes to plans for an API! Are there any integrations that would specifically move the needle for you? b) Consider your interest an upvote for that on our side. Mobile is a big part of who we are. We think that kind of thing would be cool too. c) Did you try the windows version we have now?

@avizuber Skynet is designed for seamlessly moving (small, purpose-built) apps directly between people. Much of our plan to open up an API/SDK for Skynet is about helping others build awesome experiences that integrate and embed in the conversation itself. We're especially interested in embedding experiences that make developers (and makers) more productive!

@avizuber We've got a brief intro to the SDK posted over at: http://dl.joinskynet.com/sdk/ Everyone from PH that signs up today on that page will get *priority* access to the SDK!

@makanikai No specific API needs right now, but I love the idea of using things that are part of the Zapier eco-system. I didn't get a chance to try your current version, but would be more than happy to check it out and send you feedback. You got my upvote today either way. I'll have more time next week. :)

A chat app named Skynet. The irony. This does look slick though, especially with the Spotify/Soundcloud integration and easy file sharing.

@rrhoover the guys have worked on it for awhile. Content sharing is in their DNA.

@rrhoover Thanks for the thoughts! ;) @normanliang Thanks for the compliments Norm! I'm Josh, one of the people building Skynet (Loves You). Skynet is built on some ideas we've been exploring for a while, but most recently iterating on with what you can see at joinskynet.com We're really interested in any feedback the Product Hunt community would have for us, and we're all happy to read + follow up on any feedback/questions/suggestions etc posted here! If you think it'd be useful, give Skynet a try, let us know what you think, and help the Skynet team build a better future (product) ;)

@rrhoover Hi Product Hunt, this is Alex from Skynet. Been getting great feedback from Product Hunters all day via direct messages that haven't made it back here... Top requests you might not have seen: - Ability to use Hangouts with Google Apps - More integrations with other messengers (e.g. Slack, iMessage, FB messenger) We hear you! Keep the feedback coming ... help us make Skynet better in the future :)

I've been using the beta for a while and link sharing has been helpful on group threads when planning out trips and weekend activities. The fast screenshot flow is also really useful to help get ideas across. One feature request - are you planning to build a global search-all-threads?

@tylerdrake727 Tyler thanks for the feedback, glad you've found it really useful! We definitely think a "global search function across conversations/threads" would be cool (and useful). Your interest has been noted and taken down as an upvote for that feature. Thanks!

@huanancy That'd be memegen & vidcon. Bring on the feedback! Another thing to point out is that we actually apply live updates. By that I mean we update the app on-the-fly while running. A connected Skynet is an up to date Skynet!

I really like the group chats! It's a really great way to talk about special interests and meet new people.

@charlesforman Thanks, Charles! Group chats are a little hard to find right now but something that our existing users seem to really enjoy. A SHORT GUIDE TO GROUPS IN SKYNET Since groups in Skynet are completely private and invitation-only, you need to create one or be invited to an existing one. To make one: - Click "Create New Group..." in the tray menu - Choose a name based on the intended topic (like "music-lovers") - Consider sending a few messages (or links to good music or sweet memes) before inviting others, so they get the idea behind the group - Use the invite window that opens alongside the conversation to enter email addresses of existing Skynet users or names of Hangouts contacts (if enabled) At this time we don't send emails to non-users upon invite, but we do send Hangouts messages as appropriate. People are using groups in Skynet for work, music sharing, meetings, and project/task coordination. Keep the feedback coming!

Big fan of this team and product! Sending large files and sharing content is frictionless. The integrated meme generator is pretty awesome too - love that I don't have to leave the context of a conversation to find what I'm looking for. Has me excited to see what other apps you guys eventually integrate.
