This seems like a feature inside the keyboard "startups" e.g thingthing and the rest.. What happens if they introduce this just like GIF search ..
Cheers on executing thou
What happens if we introduce GIF search? ;-) (Actually, see my reply to @koridhandy – Image Search Keyboard does already search GIFs, but the results aren’t animated [yet]).
Thank you @uxdzen.
@oplante Thanks and sure, my DMs are open.
Correction: I thought my DMs were open (I must’ve switched them). They’re open now.

Hi Brian, what are your estimates for an Android release? ... Also, from the little I have read of the product features, am I right that your whole focus is on images for messaging? ... I am constantly looking for images while on my phone often for icon usage, or for modification purposes, or to substitute for a Google Image search when I am away from a browser. Google's image search on mobile browsers is horrible with very unpredictable UX and "where do i download the actual image" vs thumbnail. So, will you be trying to be something beyond just "images for messaging"?
Hi @richardsfo, the app isn’t just for messaging. Our website and screenshots focus on messaging in particular because we figured augmenting a message would be the most common use case, but Image Search Keyboard works anyplace a keyboard works in iOS.
We’re not certain yet we’ll do an Android port (although the feedback here is definitely helping to sway us!). The reason we targeted iOS is that we’ve been developing a framework for creating custom iOS keyboards, which our launch blog post goes into: https://log.rocketshipapps.com/i....
Great integration. This turns a relatively involved task with four to five steps and simplifies it into two.
What are your plans for the future? Are you going to focus on images and gifs or are you planning on expanding beyond that?
@jonathanzwhite Thank you! I partly answered your question as a reply to @bentossell (above?). Your question also hints at a part I didn’t answer, though, which is that we’ve been thinking about including other types of search results (besides images) too (and which our launch blog post has a little more to say about: https://log.rocketshipapps.com/i...).
Nice work building the app, I know how hard it is to build something people want to use daily. Personally I just don't see how this would fit into my daily messaging, I send GIFS daily..etc but sending just an image with no other context is difficult and limiting, quick communication is key. I see small usecases for this app, keep going, you'll figure out soon if something is here. Cheers
Image Search Keyboard returns GIF results too! :-) The thumbnails just aren’t animated. :-( Perhaps we can figure out how to animate them in our next iteration or two.
The upside of searching over the whole web is that you get access to every GIF and image ever made rather than to a subset only.
Thank you for the helpful feedback, @koridhandy.

Interesting, I like it. Unfortunately I can't use it because I have Android. I find it interesting a product aimed at a Google feature isn't available for Google's own OS.
@patrickcoombe Thank you. Our launch blog post talks about why we targeted iOS (executive summary: we’re working on a framework for rapidly developing custom iOS keyboards): https://log.rocketshipapps.com/i....

When you allow Full Access, is it for what you type on that keyboard or in all keyboards?
@luismendo The “Full Access” setting applies to just the keyboard you grant access. The only reason we require this setting is because Image Search Keyboard has to access the web (to fetch search results from Google).

@oldestlivingboy Ah, that's what I thought. Just making sure, thanks!
