Agreed. Great concept and execution.
The "share" feature shows that it also implemented a format to serialize the typing sequence and stores it on server.
If I still write letters to friends, I'd definitely start using this from now on.
Different punctuation marks provide different collections of more-or-less conclusive chords. This might be the only place where tonality is hinted at, especially if you bash the comma, you can hear it's rooted in one key for the whole session. As far as I can tell those special characters are / ! ? 1 . ,
I haven't figured out if the patterns are generated on-the-fly or chosen from a predefined set, but they tend to have a nice melodic quality.
Someone also mentioned special words rain and wind, but there are more... very fun to explore. The concept is nice but the execution is especially interesting.
