#NINJA HYPERKEY SERIAL#
When users follow a particular collector they will be notified whenever the owner files an update.Ĭo-founders and serial entrepreneurs Stuart Gannes and Nikita Gnedin met in San Francisco and boot-strapped Hyperkey in late 2015. What’s new is these choices are automatically added to our users’ public Hyperkey collections, and can be discovered by others on our keyboard, (or from our mobile IOS/Android apps, or our Website), and then recycled in their own chats. With our keyboard - or our iMessage extension - users share gifs, stickers, and other forms of visual expressions with their friends in chat. And, since Hyperkey installs on your smartphone, it works with iMessage and all chat and social networking apps that take text input. Our new social network gives our users, and branded content creators, the ability to make their collections available to the whole world. We’re building a huge public library of user collections based on visual expressions. Our new version of Hyperkey, featuring user collections, is inspired by this insight. Most importantly, our users told us they wanted to save their selections for future use. Users spend long periods of time every day searching for the right choices, and their decisions reflect their personalities and moods. We quickly learned that our users are excited by the opportunity to share visual expressions when they chat. In just a few months nearly 500,000 users downloaded the first version of our app. They can also share content from popular online services like YouTube, Twitch and Spotify. With Hyperkey users can search and select millions of gifs and stickers from our partners, or make and send their own simple sketches while chatting. Introducing, Hyperkey, a new app that creates a social network for the exploding use of visual content in everyday chat conversations.
