Honestly, you're better off using existing apps and scraping their data, especially things like Twitter. Based on your description, it sounds a lot like Groupon, et al, and unless your business case is /very/ compelling I wouldn't expect another "messenger app" type to get a high adoption rate.A quick google search for 'build mobile messaging app' came up with more than 2m results, the first page being pretty detailed. If you're looking to do this, I would start there instead of trying to build from scratch. Unless, of course, you're an experienced programmer.On Fri, Jun 17, 2016 at 10:02 AM, bruce <badouglas@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:The 5 people then send the msgs to their friends, who in turn send to their friends, etc..Master process sends out msgs to 5 people, 'hey, gret deal' 1st 100 people get it for price X"Hi Mark.Here's my use case.Now, in theory, you can already do this with your cell phone.. You whip out your contact list, send the msgs.. done!But for my goal, I'm envisioning a chat/messenger app, allowing the project to capture/track the msgs, so I guess what is needed is an understanding of the nuances/issues for a chat/messenger app..Thanks.And again, any pointers, either here or offline are great!On Fri, Jun 17, 2016 at 9:35 AM, Mark Haney <mark.haney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:I'm not entirely sure what you're working toward. I mean, all recent phones (last decade at least) can already send/receive SMS messages, so I fail to understand your project simply based on that. I don't mind taking this offline, if the list isn't interested, but more information is needed before anyone can really help you.On Fri, Jun 17, 2016 at 8:47 AM, bruce <badouglas@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:--I'm investigating a project, and have no clue as to where to start, other than Google/reseach/etc..Hi guys.This is totally off topic -- so delete as required!!
Curious as to how to setup a test system to have test users send/receive sms/test messages.
If a user has a mobile/app that connects back to the "server" for the msg handling "stuff" does the process need to involve a twillo/telcom?
I've seen open source projects (zulip) that have the server/client/mobile parts, but have no clue as to what's involved with architecting or building out a complete/working solution.
So, I figured I'd ask here if anyone has any insight into this kind of system, or has pointers to any company/resource that I could talk to.
Thanks guys -- Have a cool weekend!
