Generic chat UI, check.

Generic marketing copy, check.

Generic video with uplifting folky music and hipsters dressed like hipsters doing hipstery stuff, from sitting at a minimal wooden desk to surfing, check.

So what exactly does this bring to the table that we don't already have or does better?



You can use it to collaborate on shitty startup ideas.


I like the ring-shaped indicator around people's avatars to indicate not only that they're typing, but how much they're typing.

Interesting, but might be a little creepy in practice, I'm not sure.


I'm curious about the ring. How do you know how much of the ring to "populate" unless you know how much they're going to type?


I don't know how they do it, but I'd populate the ring with frequency, not quantity. Keydown Events per Second is probably pretty easy to track.


I'd bet it's the latter (with a character limit), since this really isn't that groundbreaking of an app...
