Love the landing page, and the idea, a bit confused on how it knows what coffee shop to pick though. Is it using location data to find local businesses around you?
@torbahax the recommendations Goji provides are handpicked by our team, then given to you based on your situation (location, time, weather...). We're just getting started, and there's more fun coming here.
Nice idea @jw! Certainly one of the most interesting I've seen for a 3rd-party keyboard. On-boarding was also great... up until the point I discovered Goji isn't available "in these parts" :( — is this the entire UK or just my area? What areas do you support?
@oliverwaters Goji is live today in LA, SF, Portland, Austin, Brooklyn and Manhattan. We're excited to bring Goji to new areas soon. Where should Goji be?
@jw! The landing page is beautiful. Great example for others.
You made a splash in the press in early April when you announced your new company and funding. This was before Apple revealed iOS 8 custom keyboards (I think). Was something like Goji the plan from the beginning?
@rrhoover back in April we certainly weren't thinking keyboards, but we started this adventure with the desire to create multiple related experiences on top of a common platform and set of tools. Devices and context change frequently, so you can imagine a variety of different ways we could make it more fun to go out and get together. The decision to build a keyboard was a recent one, spurred on by the release of iOS 8. Communicating plans and things to do (and emoji) were already parts of our natural conversation — so building a keyboard seemed like an obvious match for us.
@jw This answers my question. When the keyboard was announced today, I thought, you guys must be releasing a few apps. I can't wait commute back to SF shortly to try this out.
