@rrhoover@alexiskold funnily enough, when I first started working on Command, I actually called it Slash (without any knowledge of Slash). After showing it to a few friends, someone was like -- have you seen the company with the same name doing the same thing on mobile? Out of respect for them, I changed the name (though kept a slash logo!).
Hi everyone! The way we communicate is rapidly changing on the web. I think we've seen that evolution matched in our tools for mobile, but on desktop — where tons of us still spend time every day — it's been less speedy. I built Command after getting sick of having to go out of my way to communicate the way I wanted to in emails, Github issues, and on Reddit.
At first, there were two big things that always frustrated me: sending GIFs and speaking with Emojis. On every site where I wanted to use them, I had to do a prolonged process of keypresses, clicks, drags, and uploads to make them work. To solve the problem, I started thinking about different interfaces for simplifying those processes: unsurprisingly, Slack came to mind. As I built out the interfaces for what has now become /giphy and /emoji on the web, it started to feel obvious that there was room for even more expansion: next up were /spotify and /selfie, but I'm planning on building out a bunch more integrations (like /drive, /dropbox, /youtube and more).
I think if you give it a try, you'll find that using Command really does make the web better — let me know what you think!
Edit: Command is 100% free and open source and I'm looking for more contributors! Come help make the web more extensible :)
