@koenigst - What are the coolest apps/prototypes built with Hull.io?
@koenigst - you should receive an email each time your username is mentioned. Please let me know if you don't get this one.
You're absolutely right about identity tracking and desperate systems of information. I'm particularly familiar with this in the mobile gaming space coming from PlayHaven.
I emailed one of the founders when they were in beta a while back. Super friendly.
I haven't tried this yet but I'm very supportive of products that lower the "barrier to entry" to prototype or build a product. I include Squarespace, Flinto, Mailchimp (and many others) in that category.
How does one product get so many votes in a short time? Have you guys opened up the site to anybody @rrhoover ? Also, just thinking this should be called "Social infrastructure for web apps" as it doesn't seem to cater to mobile apps.
I prototyped an app with Hull.io over the summer. Worked great. No complaints. I thought it may have been used to build producthunt when I first saw the product @rrhoover
We're definitely using Hull for an upcoming product feature (public voting for event speaker proposals).
I added PushUp Social in the related links. It's similar, but for the less tech savvy.
Ryan , I just saw your question. How amazing would it be if I was able to get an email notification whenever there is a new post or mention? hull. What's unique about hull is that everything in hull builds on the user profile. No matter what hull engagement feature you add to your app (web or mobile) all information will be captured in a central user profile / graph. These days, companies have a wide selection of
engagement features
to make their apps social (fast fix, but doesn't solve the real problem, learning more about your users). The hard part is to map
all the information about the user in the app back into
one central user profile. Most of the time your team is ending up with a disconnected user base and multiple islands where you have to manage those experiences for your customers. Some of the upcoming features will be a new hull dashboard, forum, conversation just to name a few. Happy to jump on a hangout or call to discuss in further detail.
