It's late afternoon; 4:28 p.m. to be exact. I am in Australia and it is May, so days are rapidly getting shorter. It took me a good 20 minutes to write the headline for this letter. More than ever before, my heart is pounding like a hammer.

Here is why:

We are ready to show you the new module that we created for Dolphin and UNA. In fact, it is the most pivotal development we ever started since the release of Dolphin, in 2006.

Many asked. We tried various alternatives. We have built numerous substitutes. And yet, it is only now that we finally have our very own open-source, MIT-licensed, fully-integrated, Live Messenger developed with WebSockets, AngularJS, NodeJS, and lots of love.

 

We call it, "Jot Messenger"

The Jot Messenger is coming to DolphinPro as soon as we release the stable first version and go through the initial testing on the UNA platform.


Today, now, this minute, you can try Jot Messenger on UNA.io!

Just go to https://una.io to join (it takes 14 seconds) and go to https://una.io/page/messenger-main to start talking.

(You can add me, "Andrew B" or anyone else from the site to start a conversation.)

It's not even the birthday yet. It's more like an ultrasound session, but you do get to see a lot:

  • Real-time messages
  • Real-time typing indicator
  • Web push notifications
  • Group talks
  • Categories
  • Emoji
  • Sound notifications
  • User suggestions (as you type)

We move fast, mind you. More bells and whistles come tomorrow, and even more the day after.

 

There is more to it.

Jot is not just about direct and group talks. You can put a public Jot messaging block on, say, a group, event, or blog page and create a live public conversation in the context of that page.

 

Pause . . . Re-read the above . . . Think!

 

There is A LOT more to it.

In effect, Jot is poised to become a new communication engine, consolidating all the content reactions into one, focused hub. There will be no more forgotten forum topics, unanswered questions, or ignored comments. Think about the level of user engagement and overall sense of unified experience across your entire community. The future is bright!

 

We need your help now.

Like I said, we are moving super fast with Jot development. If you try it at UNA.io now, share your feedback, throw in your ideas, and help us test it out, you will have it in a matter of weeks. And, you will have it the way you want it.

We are determined to make Jot excellent with no expense spared. It is 100% real-time, 100% open-source, 100% butt-kicking awesome!


Thank you!

P.S. If you are wondering, why all this "UNA" stuff... Well, UNA is a lot like a testing ground for Dolphin, so a lot it happening there first. While UNA has fewer features than Dolphin, it may suit new custom projects and Enterprise-class deployments a lot better. We offer tailored implementation service for it, if you ever need help.
