@rrhoover @ryantholmes LOL. Ummmmm I think found a bug I tried to spam @lylemckeany, and it only sent one to him. It sent the rest to my most recent iMessage, which was a group chat with my family 0_o Luckily the message was just "suppppp" :)
Ryan Holmes
@staringispolite @rrhoover @lylemckeany Definitely a problem. Luckily it doesn't seem to be very common. The app runs a contact's name and a message in an Applescript that pushes it to iMessage. So it's sending "Lyle McKeany" to iMessage with your message. The only thing I can think of to fix it, is to set an interval so it doesn't go so fast. Any thoughts anyone else?
Ryan Hoover
@staringispolite @ryantholmes @lylemckeany LOL, the troll gets trolled. Expected behavior? :P
Ryan Holmes
@rrhoover @staringispolite @lylemckeany This is actually a built in karma function.
Jonathan Howard
@ryantholmes @rrhoover @lylemckeany Should've trolled harder. This one totally wasn't worth the backlash! Luckily my family's pretty chill
Ryan Holmes
@staringispolite @rrhoover @lylemckeany You're lucky your Mom knows what memes are!!!

@ryantholmes @rrhoover I just realized WWE's Daniel Bryan could use this.
(Yes, I'm a WWE nerd, go judge me)
Felix Reznik
Spam for iMessage? Is nothing holy anymore? I swear whomever sends me one of these, gets blocked permanently.
Ryan Holmes
@FelixReznik Controlled Spam!
John Shin
This reminds me of the punting days of AIM. Though this one is more party, less drama. Hi5 old school.

This is intense
Ryan Holmes
@bramk so intense.
Wesley Magness
@ryantholmes @bramk *INTENSITY INTENSIFIES*
Sumeet Shah
@WesMagness @ryantholmes @bramk How intense is this? THIS INTENSE.
tom meagher
This reminds me of flip phones and how you could enter someone into the To field multiple times to send them multiple messages.
Ryan Holmes
@thomasmeagher Bringing it back to the Old School.

I don't think I've ever used a buggier app on OS X. It took me 10 minutes to test-re-test-re-test changing all sorts of iMessage settings. (I had to come back here to look through the comments to figure out what to type into the recipient field!) On the other hand I am getting severe amounts of enjoyment out of this now that it's (barely) working.
Steve Benjamins
I'm always blown away at how creative and fun some of my friends can be with texting (with emoji's, formattings etc.). There's something relentlessly creative about humans- give us a text box and we will invent novel ways of using it! Cool project :)
Ryan Holmes
@stevebenjamins Thanks Steve! That's the most positive feedback yet.
Nick O'Neill
Back in the days of AOHell (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AOHell) this was the equivalent of an email bomb. If you google "SMS Bomb" you'll find some similar ones. Nice interface though!
Ryan Holmes
Thanks for the love!! I made this as a fun challenge to create a micro product in two weeks! Would love to hear your feedback on ways of taking it from fun to the actually useful side of things. Big thanks to Meng To at Design+Code for the encouragement. Happy Hunting.

revolutionizing the late night text game: u up ? u up ? u up ? u up ? u up ? u up ? u up ?
Alexander Horré
Why would I want to use this?
Julie Chabin
@alexhorre To mess with your friends. Or to break up with someone the hard way: It's over It's over It's over It's over It's over It's over It's over
Ryan Holmes
@syswarren @alexhorre Some things just need emphasis.
Julie Chabin
@ryantholmes @alexhorre emphasis emphasis emphasis emphasis (sorry)
Drew Leahy
this might be the most powerful way to tell someone you're sorry. They will think you typed it 1000 times. That's patience.
Daniel Kao
what is considered a bug on my android phone is a coveted app on iOS. Interesting...
Grace Reyes
This is fun! Annoying my stupid sister has never been more exciting, it would be more fun if there's a way to apply it to other social media platforms though, have you thought about that?

nothing says love like "1000 I love you's" except 1000 automated spam messages
Ryan Holmes
@acondurache You'll have to talk to Hallmark on that one.

@erikfinman @RyanTHolmes hahaha. I was one of the first sign ups. Looks dope. I wish iMessage's behavior was predictable. Such a janky product....Looking forward to using this on b-days.

One great application: To tell officemates there's a dog in the office

@PE_Feeds dog dog dog dog dog dog dog

@rrhoover hates me right now
Sterling Toth
How to make my friends and family hate me.
Ryan Holmes
@sterlingtoth You can use it for good!
