Sendbird’s inaugural Developer Spotlight series

We want to kickstart 2019 with a huge thank you to all the Sendbird developers. As of today, there are over 40,000 developers who are using Sendbird to integrate chat into their products and the support we’ve received from the community over the years has been astounding.

Sendbird was founded with the mission to digitize human interactions – to help people and businesses interact, communicate, and build relationships across the distances that can sometimes separate people who are as digitally engaged as we are now. Over the past 5 years, since our founding, we’ve witnessed the innovative ways that companies have used Sendbird’s chat API across a number of industries and use cases.

And now, we’d love to learn more about what Sendbird has enabled you to do! In an effort to highlight the Sendbird developer community, we’re launching the Sendbird developer spotlight series. Show us the ways you’re using Sendbird to help connect people, businesses, etc. and if your project is chosen, we’ll reward you with some cool prizes!

Projects old or new, big and small, we want to hear about them all!

If your project is selected to be featured, you’ll receive some awesome prizes
