This argument seems like it follows a fallacy. A chat room is simple. Threads are simple. Therefore combining them must be simple too!

Honest feedback: The UI is extremely confusing, the whole site needs to be proofread for spelling/grammar, and the name doesn't really describe or even hint at what the product does.

It's a really good idea in concept, but the execution could have been much better.

Agreed. The UI is very hard to understand, especially, and the name makes no sense.

If i understood this correctly, then perhaps Convore does this exactly? https://convore.com/

But it's now pretty much defunct, due to scaling issues, and the founders concentrating on Grove.io it seems.

1. Make a mechanism to allow up/down-voting of comments and allow the display of high karma comments in a static list that someone can scan right away... finding useful information in a chatroom is overwhelming and requires 100% engagement... irritating at least if the user multitasks while visiting your site

2. Please no chatroom on the front page! ...it's overwhelming and annoying ...just a list of threads please.

(All in all cool idea, whether it takes off or not! ...at least it brings new genes into the selection pool for evolving better online communication tools and metaphors...)

Hey, I've been working on a similar concept that does exactly what you suggested. Take a look: http://ec2-50-16-106-77.compute-1.amazonaws.com/0

Needs a breadcrumb path and/or an intuitive way to go up a level, but otherwise that is pretty cool. :)

Thanks for the feedback! Yea, the breadcrumb path is actually the next feature I plan on implementing. Also, to go up one path, just click on the currently selected item.

Wouldn't voting destroy the nature of it and just create another digg/reddit/hacker news … ?

If there's to much information in one room: just build a subroom.

Cool stuff T!

The nested threads idea is pretty neat, I've been working on something similar and it's also very alpha. (The site doesn't even have a real domain). Check it out here: http://ec2-50-16-106-77.compute-1.amazonaws.com/0

We had the same struggles with IRC and built Ginger to deal with them. It's a threaded discussion tool with realtime capabilities. https://gingerhq.com

I like the idea, but you MUST get people to sign up before they can post!

Agreed. Right now, there's a very low S/N ratio with all the anon posts.

Never heard of anonymous image boards :?

Well, looks like a plain old forum with auto-refresh to me. Except that I can see only one thread at a time. And that the UI is pretty horrible...

The novelty I see is the ability to indefinitely nest threads.

Sounds like 4chan but with a better interface.
