   Here goes:

   Questions
   1. What does the number in the header mean?
   It can't be the number of members in the chat, since I can see 4 right now.

   2. Are the chat bubbles (and their content) 3D or 2D?
   - The horizontal line on the inside of the multi-message bubbles is letter-pressed.
   - The bubbles themselves are flat (missing the highlight on top).
   - The text is flat, not letter-pressed.
   - The 3-dots indicator feel like there might be a gradient, making them 3D.

   3. Text sizes are potentially inconsistent. Was that intentional?
   The placeholder text in the input box is larger than the type inside the message bubbles themselves.

   Suggestions
   - The height of your in-progress, three-dots bubble at the bottom is smaller than the single line comment bubbles up above. Try matching it to the height of the avatars.

   - The input box may need some more contrast against the background of the chat itself—perhaps a drop-shadow to emphasize that it's above the background.

   - Add an apostrophe to "lets boogie" ;)

   @Kurt Madsen Holy Moses! Appreciate the effort here

   #1 Yeah, Typo
   #2 Light 3D, Don't want it to look like a piece of candy :p
   #3 All was intentional (except header is 13 in psd, looks bigger here)
   #4 Yeah tried the match was too much space
   #5 Although it's not visible here, the background will be on over light gray so having a lighter (other than white) input will have contrast issues, having a darker will be too much weight
   #6 I've learnt the hard way not to question the things @Garrett Gee says
