Well, that was deflating.

Sent out the link to several co-workers (since we are looking for this sort of tool right now) and then we all get the "We'll let you know when we go live" email.

So thanks for making me look like an idiot.

I would be really excited to try this. Is it live yet? I always think it's better to save Show HN posts for products that we can actually play with. Looking forward to seeing this in any case.

I know... I know. I prefer that too.

The trouble is this is for teams, you kinda have to have a team. We wanted to gauge interest so we've done it this way.

If we can we'll go live for collections of people (if there are 2 or 3 people from the same company email domain) this week or next.

Can you please make it clear on the register page that there is no publicly available product yet?

I had three guys from my team sign up so we could test it out, and only after signing up did we find out that it's not live yet.

Love the idea! About time someone did this. What's the tech stack like?

It's all emacslisp. Including the webserver (it's elnode). So there is an irc bouncer written in elisp tightly integrated with the elnode webapp. The bouncer uses a modified rcirc (built into emacs) to connect to the irc servers. The robot framework is also written in emacslisp. The irc servers are ngircd and the webserver is nginx.

Bomb-diggity. I saw your gravatar and immediately thought "Omy is this an el-node projet!?" Sweet.
