Hey Al,
The service looks very cool. I guess the problem that I have is
figuring out a real world use for it...
Obviously I wouldn't expect you to do my thinking for me :) But what
would be REALLY useful is if you could post up a few fictitious (or
even real life) use cases, perhaps on the site, to showcase the
potential of the platform (similar to the ones in here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BulletProofX). The format doesn't really
matter, but example scenarios are what really get people excited about
this kind of technology... Personally, I've found example use cases
very useful when determining where a technology might be of use to me.
Just an idea anyway.
With regard to the intents survey: I always prefer if intents are
provided, if for no other reason than they help make the intent
framework more powerful. At present I personally have no immediate
requirement for an intent API though.
