X is down

Never heard of it.

It’s a letter in the English Alphabet.

Interesting, I'll check it out someday.

I'm building a service that helps event DJs engage with partygoers and take song requests over text message. It is SMS based as guests won't want to download an app just to send a request in. https://requestnow.io/

Try the demo and let me know what you think!

this is so cool! I'm recommending this to my friend who DJs for a living.

Thank you!!

This is awesome !!

I agree -- it's on the short list for improvements. Stay tuned

Thanks for posting!

I put this together in the hopes of making it easier to discover tech conferences. It’s been really hard to find conferences as an attendee, and more recently as a sponsor. Hope it’s helpful for others. Let me know if you have any feedback or find conferences I’m missing.

I built something very similar: http://confir.io/

Hello!

I work at Optimizely so happy to answer any questions about our tools. We have a solution for the Web, as well as developer SDKs to A/B test in code.

You could also look into open source tools like Facebook's Planout: https://github.com/facebook/planout.

Thanks! One thing that is unclear is that you seem to have to create a project based on a language/toolset. Can you use that same project using different client sdks?

If I want to use the same project across both front-end and back-end, should I be choosing javascript or C#? Does it matter?

Good question -- If you create a single SDK project, you can use any of the SDKs. Use the C# SDK on the backend and JS SDK to track client-side events. Feel free to reach out with more questions.

This is so awesome! Question: (I haven't used servos much) Will this still allow the regular key functionality to work? Can you turn the servo manually or is it resistant?

You'll likely need to add some kind of method to turn off the servo when it is not actively in use. When a servo is powered, it resists being turned manually.

ah, I see. Still extremely useful-- my roommates and I lose our keys all the time. Also love the idea of adding "groups" of cell numbers to the permission list.

Great post! Had some great points. Check out my SMS startup http://request-now.com/
