I just turned on the "Show keyboard and emoji viewers in menu bar" option in preferences so I have the icon I can click in the top right of my screen.

Just downloaded the app. Can't wait to try it tomorrow morning.
Some feedback, you should use the AppCompat dialog https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v7/a... so your dialogs implement the material design instead of the holo design you're currently using.

Nexmo | Developer Advocate | Remote (Ideally between GMT-8 and GMT+2) | Full-time, https://nexmo.bamboohr.co.uk/jobs/
In order to continue improving and innovating with the Nexmo developer experience and raising awareness of the Nexmo API communications platform, we’re excited to be looking for an addition to the Nexmo DevRel team. We’re looking for a developer advocate who’d like to help Nexmo collaborate with the JS community:
JavaScript Developer Advocate: https://nexmo.bamboohr.co.uk/jobs/view.php?id=243
(The location says London but our team is remote. We prefer to keep the team in timezones between GMT-8 and GMT+2)
Phil Leggetter, our Head of Developer Relations just wrote this blog post about our DevRel team, one year later: https://www.nexmo.com/blog/2017/03/14/one-year-developer-rel...

I'm based out of Baltimore and I follow your Baltimore Twitter bot. If you need any help or Quality Control for Baltimore events let me know!
The startup then got acquired and I got experience working with a larger company. Left that after a while and now have my dream job as a Developer Advocate! Literally the job I have wanted ever since I got into programming and attended my first hackathon. Can't believe where I am now.
To answer your other questions:
1) Did the bootcamp prepare me for the job? Yes, but only in that it taught me Rails and I could begin working at this startup that did mostly Rails. The startup took a chance on me, I think that's what really prepared me to succeed.
2) What about my cohort? During the program me and some other devs worked on projects outside of the class. We attended community events, hackathons, and worked on OSS with local devs. All of those that participated in stuff like that with me all went on to have successful careers. Those that didn't? I think they're still taking classes or interviewing for jobs.
