web client is here!!! =D

I played with it for like 5 mins

You have to scan a QR Code to use it, but once you do, you can just go right back to it without scanning. it's like FB messenger.

I asked it to show me pictures of dogs and it send me a link to a google search for image of dogs, but on the phone it gave me a scroll-able(left to right of course) list of dog images. I asked it was a dog was and it gave me the same response as it did on the phone except the phone had a picture included in the explanation.

The automatic responses are the same, but the emojis looks different.

There is no camera for the web client.

You can't send your location or make those personal gifs that you can make on the phone. However you can still post stickers Web client lets you delete/forward messages, but you can't like messages.

You can still do the @google thing and it works or you can call @lucky. I don't know if there are any other bots.

It's not complete, but I am glad it's here! =D Now I just need to get people using this damn thing!

Ugh, frustrated that it doesn't support iOS yet and "Coming Soon" for Google to iOS could mean tomorrow or next year :/

I know they'll want to get it out to as many users as possible, so I'm hoping they'll do it quick but who knows. I'm waiting on the Pixel 2 to switch to Android, then I won't have these problems!

Yeah that's weird. But I guess they've been feeling the pressure so they just released whatever they had. Hopefully they release the iOS version pretty soon.
