One of the maintainers of Jovo here. We spent the last 12 months completely rebuilding the framework and are happy to finally share it with a way better architecture.

Some features:

- Cross-platform: Works on the web, voice platforms (like Alexa and Google Assistant), and chat platforms (like Facebook Messenger, Instagram, and Google Business Messages).

- Fast: A CLI, local development, and browser-based debugging using the Jovo Debugger.

- Component-based: Build robust experiences based on reusable components.

- Multimodal: An output template engine that translates structured content into voice, text, and visual responses.

- Extensible: Build Framework plugins, CLI plugins, and leverage many integrations from the Jovo Marketplace.

- Integrated: Works with many NLU and CMS services.

- Robust: Includes staging and a unit testing suite.

Happy to answer any questions!

Congrats on launching! I've played with Roam Research and Obsidian before and like the concept of a knowledge graph. Is the Hypernotes graph similar to those? Any differentiating features?

That's cool! I like how you can switch between a beta and a stable version

That's a great suggestion, thank you! The demos use Google Web Speech as speech recognition service, and NLP.js as natural language understanding (open source) service.

Jovo works with many different services, some of which are open source: https://www.jovo.tech/marketplace

Great question! It uses the Jovo Framework (https://github.com/jovotech/jovo-framework) for the automation of the conversations.

Many people who build Jovo apps (mostly for 1-on-1 conversational experiences, not group chats) host them on serverless environments like AWS Lambda and use document databases like AWS Lambda. Haven't seen problems with scalability there.

We're currently investigating sockets though, which won't work on Lambda. Going to be interesting to see how this scales

Great suggestion! Will do some research, thanks :)

up again!

Mostly speech to text, probably more on mobile then destop right now.

People are getting more used to interacting with technology using their voice (e.g. through Google Assistant) this is why we want to help developers offer "deep links" into their web functionality with fast speech input.

You know what, you're right. I've been getting a bit annoyed by Drift anyways. So until we launch our own automated chat and search widget, I might as well just remove the current one. Done

Great question! At this moment, Drift is convenient for us because I can reply directly from Slack. We have an internal demo where we can do this with our widget, too, it was a bit too early for this release though. Soon!

we're most experienced with Vue.js, but want to add integrations with more frameworks, too!

it's also possible to use our vanilla JS client: https://www.jovo.tech/marketplace/jovo-client-web

thanks!

Seems like the site is down? The announcement can also be found here: https://github.com/jovotech/learn-jovo/tree/master/news/2020...

Hey all!

The clients are built with Vue.js and styled with Tailwind CSS, and the backend is built with the Jovo Framework.

Here are all the starters: - https://github.com/jovotech/jovo-starter-web-standalone - https://github.com/jovotech/jovo-starter-web-overlay - https://github.com/jovotech/jovo-starter-web-chatwidget - https://github.com/jovotech/jovo-starter-web-embeddedchat

haha, same! I can see it eventually being renamed to Nathan

I think this is an opportunity for people who want to quickly build early versions of a product or website without diving deeply into the code. I've used Google Spreadsheets for some of my Alexa Skills and I think it's a super lightweight CMS. This integration could be helpful for adding dynamic content. Thumbs up

This looks very helpful. Would love to use some of this structured data to create a sample voice app for Jovo

That's very cool! I've been using the Kanban feature for quite a while, and the list feature is looking good as well. What's the next integrations on your roadmap?

thank you, very glad to hear that! :)

Jan here, one of the creators of Jovo. Happy to answer any questions! Here's the link to the GitHub repository: https://github.com/jovotech/jovo-framework-nodejs/

Looks interesting. What are some things you're currently working on?

That's an interesting analysis. Do you think the acquisition is finally going to pay off for Atlassian?

Totally agree with you! This is why we selected only sources that have created obvious hoaxes in the past. I've been thinking a lot about actually writing this post, because I didn't want to add another post on fake news. However, it was interesting for us how people reacted. And that most didn't care at all about the trustworthiness of the stuff they're spreading

My bad! Here's the link to an article covering the list. The list was updated a few weeks ago because the creator received death threats http://www.dailydot.com/layer8/fake-news-sites-list-facebook...
