@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 :)
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. :)
Comments.. (using Mac Skynet Edge)
* Hangouts integration "pins" my entire contact list, and there's no way to bulk "unpin" them.
* Is there a shortcut for shuffling through pinned conversations? Or a hotkey for talking to someone other than cmd+; ?
* In the absence of a way to quickly talk to someone "pinned", are you considering tabbed/multi-chat support?
* Whatever Skynet's keyboard shortcuts are other than the cmd+#[1-6] in a chat window, I am not sure what they are and cannot find them
* Multiple Hangouts account support
* Sharing features require Skynet? I'd almost rather that these features be grayed out on a Hangouts conversation than try to use them and advertise the product
* Is it feasible/possible for Hangouts integration to request auth rather than (scarily) asking for my Google password? Or does Google's more recent lockdowns of historically "open" products prevent this?
@microwavedboy Re: Hangouts integration asking for auth
Google Hangouts does support OAuth2 but Skynet is not configured to use it at this time. For the time being we recommend people use an app-specific password. Arnold-Bot should help you find the proper page in your Google account settings to make one. Please reach out if you're experiencing issues with this!
Technically there's an option buried in your Google account settings that specifies whether or not third party apps can use your main password or must use an app-specific password. That said, we strongly recommend people *not* do that and instead create and use app-specific passwords.
