Not sure if anyone is interested, but I created an app allowing a company to directly chat with customers via text messaging (rather than a widget embedded on your website). Could be more useful for brick and mortar type businesses rather than web based. https://www.outseed.io/

Cool app. Just a note that I'm getting 404s on the three svgs displayed on the main page (https://tailwindui.com/img/logos/statickit-logo.svg etc)

Thanks for the heads up! I just removed them. I should have removed them a long time ago (they were just there as a placeholder haha). Appreciate the input.

PS TailwindUI has been a godsend for me. My app would look like a three year old made it without tailwind ui haha

How is business? I created something similar but as an embedded widget just prior to Covid. Had to pause it when brick and mortar businesses took a major hit in March.

Just curious if you're seeing interest from them again.

Sorry, I missed this comment! Yes! I am starting to see some traction which is really cool. This is one of my many start-ups but I am trying something different this time to see if I can be more successful. I am focusing solely on customer acqusition costs. I figure if I can hack my CAC to below any of my advertisements costs I can be successful. We will see what the future holds!
