Thanks for doing the write-up! The code looks pretty well doc'ed as well, I'll definitely be looking at this again because I've been meaning to integrate angular with one of my little node app

@taternuts - thanks! Good luck with your app as well

You should've titled this with "Show HN", as it seems as if you've made it, and it is a cool project, and deserves to be on the front page as a great example of a personal project. I especially appreciate the well-written (and laid-out) walk through, so thanks!

That's good work! However the user experience is not the best. I would rather have the chatrooms stacked on the left, instead of inside a dropdown. That way we can quickly see the available rooms. And I'd like to have a list of users currently in the same room as me.

Also, a personal preference of mine is having the new message text box on the bottom.

Keep it up!

thanks for the comments guys.

@lumpysnake: to be fair I've always struggled with web design - I just can't do it :) I wanted to put something together using Bootstrap as I find that the easiest solution. I have a lot of ideas to take this project further so I'll do my best to concentrate on UX

@danso: Yeah, I've done this - I've been working on a chat app using jQuery and some other technologies but this one, using Angular is just so much better.
