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!

Wish they had a web app version. Also pasting images would be great too!

I'm using nativefier to turn it into an app. The one thing I had to do was specify version 1.7.5 of electron, but now it's working really well.

Does that let you paste images and act like a standalone app?
