Wow. Looks pretty amazing guys. Love the bitcoin donation links. beautiful interface too; Can't wait to use it in the bitcoin community
Please don't use obscure ports for the sockets (aka tcp:4000).
1) many corporate/etc firewalls filter these type of packets
2) my personal reaction when the browser requests access to a socket on an unusual port is "Deny". Which is just what I did, and of course then there is no notification to me that it failed or any way to create/join a room.

It works nicely with Ubuntu 12.04 and Chrome. The response time us fast, even with images and youtube videos. On youtube, if you paste a link such as
http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=l8rxJRsINU4
that does a full-screen video, instead of
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8rxJRsINU4
you don't get the embedded functionality - suggest you capture the _popup segment and remove it for consistency of display

using windows 7 and chrome - can't create or join rooms
edit: now realizing it's probably corporate FW related, blocking port 4000

Hi Dan,
Can you check Inspect Element -> Console and see if there are any errors being reported?
Thanks!

red X near the following...
GET https://chatstep.com:4000/socket.io/1/?t=1341425107446 socket.io.js:1632
Socket.handshake socket.io.js:1632
Socket.connect socket.io.js:1671
Socket socket.io.js:1530
io.connect socket.io.js:91
(anonymous function)
It could be that you are on a corporate network that blocks ports like 4000.
We'll get everything behind a load balancer on port 80/443 pretty soon.
Sorry about that!

Why/how is this better than web IRC?
ChatStep has client side encryption and multimedia sharing.
Some web based IRC clients have this. There are a lot to chose from as well http://twodayslate.wordpress.com/2012/06/05/web-based-irc-cl...
secure, beautiful; where can I download it from?
