Bookmarking this one! It would be great having a way of marking and filtering them as "answered", repeated, so the board gets cleaner. Upvoted!

Hi Ben, First of all, congrats on the launch as I upvoted for this promising web app potential. It is a very interesting alternative tool for live stream apps that don't gather built-in and/or social network questions to display flow and moderation. I love the instance approach and model with 14-days availability. Make sense! I like the simplicity and versatility of being able to change: the title and button text. Perfect for any language. And of course, moderation features. As the filtering "answered" questions feature is taken into consideration, here are some suggestions: Branding - Custom background with file size specs - Custom color for the "Ask Question" button with HEX values and/or eyedropper Backend UI/UX - The double cogs button needs just one cog - When clicking on this button, "Login" should be "Settings" - Refine and emphasize: "Your instance will automatically end 13 days from now - Refine the UI in a modern design system As I watched the demo on your website, how do they implement Twitter with KiwiStream? Thanks!

Hi @rudy_arconte first of all: Thanks a lot for this detailled feedback. I highly appreciate your time having a closer look at kiwi! Custom backgrounds make totally sense - I'm just a little concerned about the custom files which might pile up on the storage. But maybe a set of pre-defined svg backgrounds where the instance registrator can choose from (with different colors each) could be a good compromise? Custom colors: Great idea. I'll add this. Makes totally sense imo. Backend UI: Yeah, I was a little "lazy" there ;) I'll implement your suggestions, because -again- they make totally sense. Reading twitter feed by hashtag is implemented, but not yet in GA. I was just wondering, if this "product" is interesting overall when I posted it here, because it's a tiny niche for that kind of page. Until now, there have been 28 instances registered and I'll have a look on where this will go :) Thank you very much again for your feedback!

Hi, @source_morph my pleasure, Thanks for taking my feedback into consideration. Custom background: - Pre-defined SVG background with different colors is a good solution - Custom background uploaded with file restrictions such as max 500k for JPEG and SVG files only, should be perfect for users who want a perfect brand match for their online events. Understood about reading the Twitter hashtag in a tiny niche context. But is still a highly relevant feature to ease attendees' engagement. Cheers!

Hey @rudy_arconte :) I just released a new version of kiwi.stream, where you have nicer settings UI (incl. predefined backgrounds + the option to set any image via a link). All colors (caption, buttons fore-/background) are now customizable. Twitter stream will be next (still have to do some backend stuff with the API) Cheers!
Rudy Arconte
Hey @source_morph ;-) Thanks for the updates as the progress is on the good path. Things are better! However: - Is it possible to upload custom SVG files only directly to the backend, instead of uploading thru a cPanel domain. SVG file is around 5-10k. It will ease the workflow. - After clicking "Ask your question" button, the pop-up display "Post your question" button with the default blue background color. This button should inherit the customized colors of "Ask you question" button. Good progress news about Twitter stream ;-) Hope that makes sense by your side. Cheers!
