Thanks for the nice words Andy! Fun to see our little app getting some love in this cool community.
Just wanted to quickly introduce myself and am happy to answer any questions - about me personally, our process, why we do what we do, or whatever is on your mind.
Prior to becoming Chief Freak, I was a cave-dwelling illustrator and toy developer who serendipitously found my way to a Startup Weekend and into the world of working with software engineers. It's been magical seeing art and science come together and give life and context to the crazy stuff that bubbles up in my brain. It's been a pretty amazing journey which I've learned and grown more in this short time than I have collectively in the many years prior.
Cheers!
Thanks @rrhoover, and thanks for both ProductHunt and the AMA. Was a really fun day and I'm excited to be a part of the community.. you obviously have something really special going on here.
v3.0 of the app was released a few days ago. New features from their release notes:
• A Global Video Feed
• Video Channels
• New animated stickers - facial features and characters
• Notifications
• React & Comment on others' videos
• Complete interface re-design
@kylekesterson is one of the most creative people I know and this product is an extension of that creativity. The power of this app is hard to communicate in just text: you have to watch kids playing with it like I did last summer to see how much they enjoy it.
Sorry, I meant "a bit hard" (edited my comment earlier).
I like your thinking, Kyle. It seems that most products today are reduced to their bare minimum, scared to introduce more complexity (and subsequent power to users). Although this may be the right approach, it's refreshing to see YAKiT and others create a platform for diverse and potentially complex expression.
