Gemini Live

[killerapp]

WHO: Yuuki
WHERE: Gemini App
WHEN: End of May
WHAT: Introducing the new app!
WARNINGS: Whatever you bring with you. So probably swearing.

[Early one day, at the end of May, everyone currently using the Zodiac app will get an email from one shnioyuu[at]gmail.com (with a cc to azalea[at]pokego.com or whatever domain they use for their official email addresses). The body of the email is pretty straightforward]

Click the link if you want to stick it to Zodiac

[The aforementioned link will take you to a download for the new app: Gemini.

The landing page is pretty nice, for what is clearly a work in progress, and after you download and make your account (and read over the terms of service to make sure this little hacker isn't data scraping (he isn't)), you're greeted by the only time any of you people will see Yuuki use proper capitalization.]

Welcome to Gemini. We're still a work in progress but I'm not Zodiac so that's already putting me ahead of the other app.

This seriously would not have been possible without a lot of help because I'm a code guy not a hardware guy. Here is a list of everyone who helped.

[The list starts off with "Gil" because....Gil funded this entire thing, but everyone else who helped is listed!

See, Yuuki can be nice.

Mostly thanks to his Normin insisting he have a page for this.]

hey you’re doing great! no grievous bugs yet on this side, so already we’re doing better than zodiac and at least two other companies i won’t be naming here.

[Something of a small miracle, that, especially when he thinks about more expensive games that rolled out buggy as all hell on day one.]

... and that, ladies and gentlemen, is why Knuckles shouldn't be using the text function of any app.

Remember to keep quiet even on this app! We can talk a lot more freely but please remember that even if we’re on the outs with our bosses, we’re still on a leash.

'on the outs'

[This has earned a rare compliment.] Nice work.

How concerned are we about app-to-app security? Would it be better to give our trustworthy Black Order folks a separate phone for personal use? I might be able to secure some. If you wanted to make sure they were safe, I can pass them to you first, of course.

I don't know the first thing about rooting or branching a phone, but I have a feeling you could do it with your eyes closed.

[killerapp]

eyes closed and half asleep.

thats up to them honestly. personally i dont think we need to worry about that but if they ARE i cant really blame them

Well, we can see text works all right, as do those—moving pictures, how d’you pronounce them again, gifs or jifs? Is the video function working all right?

voice

[killerapp]

Gif, as in "graphic". Video works fine too.

Oh, good! I can finally trade recs with people without worrying about it coming back up in bad advertizing matches...

(Seriously I'm still getting those flower ones..)

...Uh. Speaking of recommendations, do we know any therapists that are aware of all...this? I really need to get back into that after these past few months...
