Brother, you need to be surrounded by people that believe in you and get a good, could even be a quick, win under your belt. Then you'll look back on this post and wonder why you ever made it.


How do the users work? Is it like Dropbox where I can sign up for a free account and then have subscribers to the bigger accounts share with me or do I have a new account for every hosted plan I'm shared with?


Hi Jimmy,

Thanks for the question.

We have the concept of account owners/admins. The account owner can access Zigzag Cloud via a web interface and create further users and groups.

All users can access content via the iOS client, but only admins can access the web interface.

Within the web interface admins can:

* Upload new content * Tag Content * Create Users and Groups * Set access permissions to folders within the system * Do account admin-y stuff

Cheers,

Marcus (@schappi)


I also got to hack on this API before public release at a probably the same hack-a-conf as patio11. Twilio has put a lot of thought and work into this and even the alpha preview was very solid.

Let's just say, my next weekend project will be a voice chat that wraps a flash game. Imagine being able to choose to jump into a Twilio style conference room with other people playing the same level of a tower defense game!

I can imagine it:

- Shitcock!

- Shitcock!!

- Shitcock...?

- Can you hear me?

- Shit what is this I -

- No we can't hear you speak up NO I AM STILL GAMING DAMNIT

- Are you talking about Hitchcock?!

- My little guys are stuck! What the hell do i do??

- Like I said two minutes ago: you need to click "Run" sighs

- ... so basically she cheated on me because I didn't give her all my gold and stuff when I closed my account

- HAHAHAHAH

- Shitcock!


I don't make comments like this that often, but that is hysterical (and, off-topic :). I don't have any insight into the modern gaming generation, so this is an especially interesting comment because I often feel like I'm missing something, but my underlying suspicion was that their was nothing but a vapid notion, at most.


There is no "gaming generation", and while you are not missing out on philosophical discourse by avoiding the Halos and Call of Duty's out there, I think you might be surprised by the intelligence and depth available in other places.


Yeah! That's why I stopped playing xbox live and why I threw in the word "choose"


If it's a static site, copy it into your dropbox public directory and share the public link.


Is anyone making sites where this would work, for money?
