@ryantholmes @rrhoover I just realized WWE's Daniel Bryan could use this.
(Yes, I'm a WWE nerd, go judge me)
Sterling Toth
How to make my friends and family hate me.
Ryan Holmes

@sterlingtoth You can use it for good!
Alexander Horré
Why would I want to use this?
Julie Chabin
@alexhorre To mess with your friends. Or to break up with someone the hard way: It's over It's over It's over It's over It's over It's over It's over

@syswarren @alexhorre Some things just need emphasis.
Julie Chabin
@ryantholmes @alexhorre emphasis emphasis emphasis emphasis (sorry)

@bramk so intense.
Wesley Magness
@ryantholmes @bramk *INTENSITY INTENSIFIES*

@WesMagness @ryantholmes @bramk How intense is this? THIS INTENSE.

@erikfinman @RyanTHolmes hahaha. I was one of the first sign ups. Looks dope. I wish iMessage's behavior was predictable. Such a janky product....Looking forward to using this on b-days.

what is considered a bug on my android phone is a coveted app on iOS. Interesting...

Thanks for the love!! I made this as a fun challenge to create a micro product in two weeks! Would love to hear your feedback on ways of taking it from fun to the actually useful side of things. Big thanks to Meng To at Design+Code for the encouragement. Happy Hunting.

nothing says love like "1000 I love you's" except 1000 automated spam messages

@acondurache You'll have to talk to Hallmark on that one.
Steve Benjamins
I'm always blown away at how creative and fun some of my friends can be with texting (with emoji's, formattings etc.). There's something relentlessly creative about humans- give us a text box and we will invent novel ways of using it! Cool project :)

@stevebenjamins Thanks Steve! That's the most positive feedback yet.

@rrhoover @ryantholmes LOL. Ummmmm I think found a bug I tried to spam @lylemckeany, and it only sent one to him. It sent the rest to my most recent iMessage, which was a group chat with my family 0_o Luckily the message was just "suppppp" :)
Ryan Holmes
Maker
@staringispolite @rrhoover @lylemckeany Definitely a problem. Luckily it doesn't seem to be very common. The app runs a contact's name and a message in an Applescript that pushes it to iMessage. So it's sending "Lyle McKeany" to iMessage with your message. The only thing I can think of to fix it, is to set an interval so it doesn't go so fast. Any thoughts anyone else?
Ryan Hoover
@staringispolite @ryantholmes @lylemckeany LOL, the troll gets trolled. Expected behavior? :P
Ryan Holmes
Maker
@rrhoover @staringispolite @lylemckeany This is actually a built in karma function.
Jonathan Howard
@ryantholmes @rrhoover @lylemckeany Should've trolled harder. This one totally wasn't worth the backlash! Luckily my family's pretty chill

@staringispolite @rrhoover @lylemckeany You're lucky your Mom knows what memes are!!!

@kchau so wow.

revolutionizing the late night text game: u up ? u up ? u up ? u up ? u up ? u up ? u up ?

Saw this on /r/entrepreneur and the comments were just as awesome.. expect imminent angel round..
Ryan Holmes

@cheapstartup Would you like to lead the round? I'm thinking 100 million seed.
DirtCheapStartup
@ryantholmes I would think somewhere in the neighborhood of an Uber valuation is not that far off... Imagine, sending your driver 1000 messages until you're picked up... or your pizza delivery... or well just about anything to drive someone insane...

This reminds me of flip phones and how you could enter someone into the To field multiple times to send them multiple messages.

@thomasmeagher Bringing it back to the Old School.
Kevin Li
@rrhoover hates me right now
Drew Leahy
this might be the most powerful way to tell someone you're sorry. They will think you typed it 1000 times. That's patience.

One great application: To tell officemates there's a dog in the office

This reminds me of the punting days of AIM. Though this one is more party, less drama. Hi5 old school.

Spam for iMessage? Is nothing holy anymore? I swear whomever sends me one of these, gets blocked permanently.

@FelixReznik Controlled Spam!
