Thanks for the hunt @abadesi! YAC was a blast to create over the last 2 weeks, and we were super stoked to see it win the Remote Workers category in Makers Festival 2018. Please hit us up with any unique ways you're using the app and of course hammer us with feedback.
I remember only a few weeks ago we were discussing building this on our Slack, and now it's a winner. Products, they grow up so fast :')
And now I won't stop bothering @itsthisjustin with questions, ever! #TeamSF
A few thoughts trying to install and run it.
A bit more of a demo screencast or something on the site would be great.
After installing it, I could find no way of quitting it. The icon showed up in the toolbar and I set up a username, saved it but that screen just wouldn't go away? Is the profile photo also required? Is that why I couldn't seem to do anything else?
I had to quit the program using Activity Monitor.
There are no contextual menu options on the toolbar icon.
Overall, I just have no idea what to expect for the app. What does it do exactly?
@itsthisjustin added photo and screen is still stuck on setup, no settings or contextual menu, happy to connect off of here if you want to debug any of this further
@twalling There's a known issue with photos that might a bit big. I had that happen on a high res photo. It'll eventually upload but if you don't want to wait, just use a smaller lower res image. On the list of things to fix!
Well just that will wait for more updates to see if I can make it work. But the idea is great, I always think how Slack doesn't have a feature like this already!
Pros:
looks easy to use
Cons:
doesn't work, I get the "Connecting.." and it dies there
Super glad you were able to hunt this today for us @abadesi! This was such a fun project to work on as we all hunkered down for a week, and got to work. Despite it not being flawless yet, we were super excited to see this win in the Remote Workers category for the Makers Festival this year. Our team at SoFriendly is working hard to make it be the best it can be so definitely let us know how you are "YACing" and how we can further improve on what we have!
The site really needs a better description and demo video. I was honestly interested in seeing exactly what it does but setup has been rough today and I've had to force quit the app several times only to finally get it setup and find out it's pointless without someone else to try it with. I'm not going to ask someone else to go through the setup I did though.
Pros:
interesting idea assuming I understand what it does from the limited info
Cons:
no demo on site, setup process has been rough, have to force quit using activity monitor, finally setup but I have no one test with
I installed this, and had a co-worker install it as well, unfortunately we can't add eachother's YAC code. We hit the add button but nothing ever happens. What gives?
@the_scott_davis Hmmm...testing on this end shows no issue with adding friends. Could you make sure you're both on the latest version 0.0.4? Feel free to email me directly to troubleshoot. justin@sofriendly.com
This is awesome! I am working on something very similar for the last few days - Slack and Hangouts doesn’t truly replace collaboration in physical space. Great work!
