Anyone remembers wave? Or what was it called - was definitely ahead of its time.

I had forgotten all about Wave. My friend and I were super hyped when it came out but we ended up rarely using it.

I think it's time hasn't even come jet, but I also can hardly remember what it actually was.

I was so excited about wave when it came out. Genuinely thought it would replace email and sms.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/p6pgxLaDdQw

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

Oh damn that's actually really cool! I'm glad some of that functionality made it's way into Google Docs but I can see the missed timeline now where Google Wave took off

RIP twitter API’s

It had a futuristic feeling to it.

Even though it failed a lot of the features it introduced like collaborative work were carried over to their GSuite/Workspace apps later.

I will literally never forgive them for shutting Wave down and will complain about it at any given opportunity.
