@mattaussaguel PEPPER will be free forever, as it's just a companion for our main app, Swat.io (which is the perfect partner for pepper).
@gadgick Thanks Nick! We really appreciate any feedback! Would love to see some peppers out in the wild! Please share your link with us!
We now got a language switcher, thanks @neuling2K! :)
Any help with translations appreciated, @zuluglobe @jonathannabais!
We've setup a showcase gallery with sites where you can meet PEPPER, the friendly contact widget :)

In case you haven't noticed - we've just added a color picker! :) Thanks @neuling2k
Want to install PEPPER on Wordpress? We've just beta-released a tiny plugin for that: https://pepper.swat.io/wp-pepper... Feedback welcome!
@_subnet Hey! I just installed the plugin via WordPress. Would like to check if the whatsapp function is working as intended. When I click on via my phone, it opens a new browser with my number instead of launching the whatsapp application. If I'm not wrong Whatsapp doesn't have an API available to launch its application via any means, just curious if I'm doing something wrong or...?

@lex_na_wei_ming Thanks for giving PEPPER a try! You're right, WhatsApp doesn't offer an API, and also no way to link to a profile/chat on the web :( This is why we really only can disply the phonenumber, not much more we can do :( sorry!
Quick update: you can now switch the labels from "...Us" (Company) to "...Me" (Persona)! Hope that helps for using Pepper on personal blogs, websites etc. Let us know what you think!

Thanks for hunting PEPPER, @nikgraf!
We’ve built PEPPER with the goal of making it easier for visitors to get in contact with a website’s owner – through various social medial channels, phone, email etc., without the need to CTRL-F to find that hidden ‘contact’ link in the footer.
Thanks for giving PEPPER a try, we’re very much looking forward to your feedback!
@chris_crompton1 @jollife @nikgraf I was thinking the exact same thing, I would love to see integrations with products such as Intercom or just a real-time chat feature in general.
@chris_crompton1 @jollife @nikgraf Touche. This is cool, but the icon is misleading - Most users click that when they want to chat on-screen/in-app. And I want to chat with them!
This looks great! I'll use it on my next project.
Couple of extra little things I'd be looking for:
1. Custom color selection for widget button.
2. LinkedIn social channel (maybe there is a reason you didn't add this).
@garethafuller Hi Gareth,
1. we thought about this, but wanted to keep the UI very clean. We might add this feature in the future!
2. There is no easy link for linkedIn, so we decided against integrating linkedIn. Do you know of any easy to get link for your company/user profile?
@jollife I see what you mean about (2). There doesn't seem to be a clean way to know if it's a company page or a user.
I know it's not ideal, but maybe just offer a choice once the LinkedIn channel is added (user profile or company page) and adjust the URL's to suit the selection?
@garethafuller but is there a "human readable" url? we tried it and always ended up with some strange and very long urls (no one knows if this is just a temporary url)
@jollife Ahh I see what you're saying.
Well, it is possible for a LinkedIn user to adjust their URL so that it is "human readable", e.g., this is mine - https://www.linkedin.com/in/gare.... But I see that a lot of users have the path /firstname-secondname-idnumber which I guess isn't as 'pretty'.
For companies, the URL is https://www.linkedin.com/company....
So as far as I can tell, all you would have to do would be to switch /in/ with /company/ depending on the user profile/company page setting. and then append their input username.
So for me, I'd select 'user profile' then provide you with my username 'gareth-fuller'. With that, you could construct the URL https://www.linkedin.com/in/gare....
Maybe I'm not seeing the difficulty here.
@garethafuller Thanks for the input. Maybe we should just allow users to add *any* URL (either company or personal) to the Linkedin option, @jollife?
Awesome Widget , thx a lot , i'm using it for www.TrumpVsClinton.site it took me 2 minutes :-)
Such a slick experience - it took 5 seconds max to get set up and live on my site. Way to go team!
Great looking and implemented in no time at http://www.joinraft.com
Made me get rid of those static social buttons just sitting there in the footer. Would love to use a custom color code to be able to be a bit more on brand. Something for next iteration. Thank you
@signar thanks for your feedback, glad you've chosen PEPPER for your site!
custom color picker is already high on the wishlist, coming soon! :)
Nice work, is live chat functionally/integration in the works? That would elevate this to killer status in my opinion.
Awesome, just installed on my site :).
One piece of feedback, I'm only using the email link w/Pepper, but it has this arbitrary "Classic" label on top of the email address. When you have social links with a section called "social", the "classic" label makes more sense, but on it's own, it doesn't make any sense.
Maybe an option either show/hide or edit the labels?
@wuss thanks for the feedback! I've put your request to our wishlist! Let me know of your URL, we might build a showcase gallery in the days coming! :)
@deltaspark thanks for your kind remarks! let us know on which website you've implemented PEPPER, we're going to do a showcase gallery over the next days :)
@corey_gwin Glad you like it! :) Let us know the URL you're going to use PEPPER in, if so :)
