Hi, I created this tool because I really wanted it. Let me know if there are any features you would love to see. Hope you find it as useful as I do!

I like it. are you using it personally? Is the example on the homepage the most common usage?

How do you share lists between two people/numbers?

I'm rolling out that feature in a few hours. I was a bit ambitions, but it will be `send to {{number}}`. Glad to hear that you found this as an important feature. I think it will be valuable too :)

Context would be cool:

send to Joe

> What's Joe's number?

xxx-xxx-xxx

> Got it, you can just say Joe in the future.

That is very cool idea. I love saving the context there. It may be really cool to send an SMS contact too. That would make it one step less than the copy and paste.

A way to name/share a list (so two people can push to it) would also be cool. I know myself and my s/o would use it to make a shared grocery list.

I was thinking the same thing. It would be great if it was Siri-compatible. Can you handle multiple delineators?

Is "Eggs, bacon, milk" handled the same as "Eggs bacon and milk"?

I just pushed an update to handle that case. It will not delineate commas and new lines as separate items.
