Ever wanted to message all your friends from a single place?
Bringing you "Tentacles"
Sorry, let me try again. Brining you (drumroll)...TENTACLES, the social messaging buddy
OK, so I am no web designer and perhaps this is not the greatest idea but here me out.
I want to fly the next as covered in this article and I need the #steemit communities' help to do it. In this case, brainstorming #ideas or even hearing all the problems you have with these ideas will help me grow and chase my #dreams.
What is it?
Gives you the ability to send messages via multiple platforms form a single place, a single app.
Benefits?
No need to download several apps and/or visit lots of websites.
Monestisation
Paid for App download? $0.99?
How does it work?
A contact would be built out containing the following:
Phone number
Email address
Facebook ID
Twitter account name
etc.
Depending on the accounts held against the "contact" the available options for messaging would be adjusted e.g. no twitter handle? Button is removed as a send option.
A text based message would be constructed, as constraints per social / messaging platform are broken, the option to post to those media would be removed.
As you increase the size of your message, social options would be removed automatically such as Twitter if you exceeded 140 chars.
Ability to include attachments and images.
Messages sent and received would be displayed in a single place, grouped/split by "contact".
Cost to build?
MVP in 4 weeks with 2 coders?
Assumptions
It's not already been done before? Any ideas #steemit?
Social media and messaging platforms such as What's App and FaceBook have open API's that let you send and retrieve messages?
This solves a real problem people have? Does using multiple platforms annoy you?
Would you use this tool?
Let me know what you think but please be gentle lol :)
