Great work Koya team! Such a useful product in these times where folks are working remotely from various locations. Love the idea of spreading joy while you are away from loved ones.
caryn werner
@thefedoration I love how you phrased that-- "spreading joy while you are away." So beautiful! Thank you for your support!!! ๐Ÿฅณ

Hey @courtneyruth Congrats on your launch May I suggest adding a QRcode here https://getkoya.com/the-app Story: As a lazy visitor of your website I can scan a QR code with my phone from my laptop screen So that I don't need to type the name of your app on the store 3 seconds saved, It sparks joy โœจ
Jon Werner
@courtneyruth @flexbox Hi David, thanks for the idea. We have QR codes already designed for bizcards so I'll take a look at adding it to the website.
Courtney Ruth
@flexbox This is a brilliant idea! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I agree, adding a QRcode is wicket smart! I'm grateful to be connected to you and look forward to learning more from you (a true gift)! ๐Ÿ’–

Amy Giddon
KOYA is just what we need, now and always. I've received a KOYA and it is a delightful and special moment. For all those times you're thinking of someone...now it's easy to to show it. I think I need to share this with my BF (hint, hint)
caryn werner
@amy_giddon1 Amy!!! Thank you so much for this thoughtful comment! I'm so happy to hear that your experience with KOYA so far has been such a delight! ๐Ÿฅฐ Sounds like your BF needs to send you a KOYA soon ๐Ÿ˜œ
Ruben Wolff
Love the concept really! Can someone who has not downloaded KOYA receive something from someone who did? How does the sending and receiving process work? Best of luck for what's to come!
Jon Werner
@rubenwolff Yes. You can use the web version of KOYA to send to anyone and they can receive it without downloading an app. The mobile app version currently requires the receiver to have the app downloaded as well to receive a location triggered KOYA. We will hunt this version of KOYA at a later date. Stay tuned.

KOYA makes it possible to show up for the people I care about with an encouraging message, funny cat video, or song they might enjoy. With everything going on in the world, itโ€™s nice to see tech that aims to make the world a better place.
