Does the presence of files in the teams feature mean that kbfs will be rolling out to the iOS app? Its been "coming soon" for awhile now and has always been the more compelling feature to me than chat :) Either way, congrats on th

I haven't had a chance to review the specifics of the protocol yet, but as a Fastmail user, I can vouch for the speed of event propagation across multiple clients. Its lightning fast; noticeably faster than say, Gmail.

Fastmail has a good Calendar app in addition to Email, Contacts and File Storage. It doesn't really have a Docs replacement, but it does have a Notes app. I use all of them and enjoy it quite a bit. It also is probably worth noting tha

This seems like a terrible move. Aren't _all_ video game soundtracks under copyright (not just ones that use popular/radio music)? If that's the case, isn't the logical conclusion of this no audio on twitch at all? I don
