Hydra by Shameer Salim

I have always felt like the weak point of certain tricks is in a weak reveal. This is a great way to reveal absolutely anything you want in the form of a prediction that was made days before.. Strong Responses and great service from Shameer!

Hydra is quite impressive. The peek modes didn’t work quite the way I was hoping, but they are pretty realistic since they actually access the real pages. I was hoping that it would work by accessing the real pages with a Safari extension enabled that would act as a bridge between the Safari input information and the Hydra app, but instead, it utilizes an in-app browser. It’s quite inconspicuous, but it’s just “off” enough to not feel quite right - the bounciness at the top and bottom of a page scroll, for example, which is a ubiquitous part of Apple’s UI on Safari and many apps. It would also be awesome if a future release would utilize voice recognition as an input mode, like the way WikiTest uses voice for pairing - when that recognition mode is on, there could be a trigger word to start and stop the input recording. I’d pay the full price again for that update alone. All in all, this app is very much worth the asking price. I haven’t played with the Inject integration yet, but I’m excited about that too. I’m looking forward to seeing how Hydra grows and evolves. Really great work all around!
