After repeatedly sending the same text messages to the same person, we realized it's time for a change. As professors, it's always "I'm running late" or "stuck in an impromptu hallway meeting" (yes, the latter happens a lot in the life of a professor), and these messages are always being sent to the person we're about to meet. Given the success of Yo!, which only let's you send one message to a lot of different people, we wanted to flip the design. Instead, FWEXT lets you send three different texts to a single contact. And, all you have to do to text this "special someone" is shaking the phone in one of three different ways.
Right now, it's a little more cumbersome than we want, and is still in the beta phase. This is simply because you have to hand-type the phone number and open up the app before you can shake the phone. In the future, we'll be launching a crowdfunding campaign to get enough money to convert this into an app that also runs on Windows phones and iOS. The full version will have access to contacts and run in the background so that once you unlock your phone, all you have to do is shake and send. Further developments will link into your calendar and populate these special messages, saving time on your friends' birthdays,wedding anniversaries, and more!
