I was expecting this to be something like oneshot, but for desktop. but from the screenshots it looks like you can only highlight quotes that would fit in a tweet. is that right?

@_jacksmith I thought the same thing and got excited. Buffer's Chrome extension already supports sharing quotes so I'm a little confused what this is for.

@_jacksmith That prototype is in the pipeline actually. Would you like a heads up? :)

@rrhoover @_jacksmith Honestly, didn't know the buffer functionality existed so this was meant to be something more. In hindsight though, it's just a slight UI improvement that I still believe buffer should consider, if anything.

Sorry I'm late! No idea this would've gotten this big (top 10!). I'll be answering the questions if people are still here :D

How does this differ from the existing buffer chrome extension? (Is it just the context-menu UI?)

@afhill From what I understand, you can do the same exact thing with the extension – just highlight text and press Alt+B. This is weird in that buffering the text opens a new tab. It seems slower and more clunky.

@caspertek @afhill So ya, when we first made this, it was because "why haven't buffer did this yet?" Which quickly became "why is this feature hidden on buffers app?" It wasn't very obvious, but yes, this is pretty much just a UI change in hindsight.

@orliesaurus I think our UI is slightly easier and more obvious than the buffer app. It's not new by any means, but it's a lot slicker to use than status quo. I agree, there were really great products yesterday that deserved more attention :)
