We suggest you also read the manifesto[0] we wrote, telling more about our mission on this project.

#7Very nice. The UI feels slightly slower (more sluggish) than web IRC chats. The ability to enable audio on messages or @mentions (in settings) is a good addition. But how does kwak want/expect people to use this? www.kwak.io just has 4 hashtags and jumps me straight into a chatroom. Either I am missing something or there's nothing more to this "Show HN" than literally showing it?

#8Where did this sudden interest in reinventing IRC come from? It seems we get one of these every day now.

#9I like the name. A platform to leave our 'kwakjes'. And in real-time.

#10This looks exactly like Shout[1]. This seems to be an IRC channel, and you have a web interface (using Shout) hosted on your domain, with some of Shout's features removed so that people can't use it to connect to other IRC servers. And you aren't giving any credit to Shout.
*EDIT: My apologies, I totally jumped the gun there. I didn't see the "?" at the bottom, which states that that's exactly what this is. I still think that you could give a little more credit to them, though. In my opinion, this is more than just "based" on Shout, as your credits say.
