Hi wingerlang - thanks for the comment. You're right that the features aren't different - the difference is that instead of accessing those features from usually the lower-left corner of the keyboard area (which is out of the "thumb comfort zone,"), the bolt button is right in the middle where your thumb normally is.
Regarding the text, I was trying to keep it friendly and not boring - sort of Mailchimp-like - maybe I went too far. :)

Yeah, this seems more like a parody because of this "meme" crap. Looks like author tries too hard to be cool/relevent.
Speaking of memes, [0]this is a meme about the copytext of the website.

Well I was a skater as a kid and now a very not-cool father of four, so that meme is not far off. :)
I'm a UX guy not a professional copywriter, so I may have missed the mark a bit. I was trying to keep it friendly and casual, and maybe a bit campy with the "HERO" theme. Anyway, I just removed a couple of the memey lines. Thanks for the feedback.

Yeah, I would go with more "professional but not too professional" approach. Unless your main demographics are 13 y/o kids that is.
What's revolutionary about this? These features have been implemented in iOS for very long.
