This is really cool. Kudos. I shared someone's paper and asked for their feedback, they said it was pretty accurate!

Thank you. Great to hear!

This is really cool. Congrats on the launch. Would be interested to know which low resource languages in Sub-Saharan Africa you'd be working on, particularly in Nigeria and South Africa.

If you have interest/insights in specific languages, would love if you can fill out this form so we can reach out in the future https://forms.gle/XA6nZbmBNK5K7GJv5

Lots of area to cover for sure!

Submitted!

Agreed, it's a shame the wording on this license is so confusing as it's a really nice framework... just way to confusing about what you can/can't do with it

These custom licenses make it too difficult to reason about, without hiring an attorney to verify assumptions

Looks cool, congrats on the launch! Will you guys be doing text to speech in any indian languages? If so would love to see a demo of that!

Thanks for using our app. Voicera currently supports English (India) accent. However, more languages are definitely in the cards.

This is great, nice work!

Out of interest what is the startup idea for propprices? Like the interface but I'm not clear who the customer is

Great work on chart.js. And thanks for your time on this! Hat tip to you!!

This is interesting! How did you come up with this idea for emerging markets in particular?

Also, out of interest, what service are you using for the SMS authentication?

I am taking the learnings of okcredit, khatabook (digital ledger in India), bijak, procol (trading in India), choco, rekki (restaurant ordering from their suppliers) to what I believe is the final consequence of an integrated chat app to run small businesses.

I used MessageBird for sms notification of new messages, SendGrid for email and Firebase Auth for login.

Everything is run on Google App Engine.

Thanks for the info! Really super interesting to hear about your sources of inspiration for this is India.

I think you're onto something with a chat app UX for small businesses!

Yes! I also really enjoyed the Futurological Congress. The film rendition, while straying from the short story significantly, is still worth watching I think. https://imdb.com/title/tt1821641

Yes, I think this example highlights a point many aren't picking up on. PWAs have been biggest in emerging markets. I think Ali Baba also used them to great effect.

Ever tried to get users in emerging markets on old Android devices to discover, download and update your native app? It's a world of pain.

Old cheap android devices nearly always have no available storage space, which makes it almost impossible to install a native app. Freeing up 1MB of space isn't enough to allow you to install a 1MB app - typically you need to free up 1GB or more before the store will function at all, and there's a good chance on old devices that won't be possible at all, due to the way updates consume space, and old devices have a lot of updates...

PWA's aren't the perfect solution here - on those same old devices, theres a good chance your user is running a 5+ year old browser engine, with a lot of bugs that are hard to even test against, considering how many combinations of screen size, phone, and browser software version there are.

Really neat. Nice one!

Thanks!
