This may come as a surprise to you, but there are plenty of us who don't have Apple devices to use FaceTime with.

OK, I do have a Mac Mini for development purposes, but I don't want to have to drag it out of storage just to make a call.

Apple users can send a facetime link that is usable on non-apple devices.

Which I suppose is a failure of marketing by Apple? If casual non-Apple readers of HN don’t know the links work for non-Apple devices, no one does :)

(I’m an Apple reader of HN and I didn’t know this either!)
