#22I'd hoped this was something like Napster built on WebRTC data channel. No such luck.

#23Nice concept, looks like 4chan may have gotten a hold of this one.
As far as I know, it originates from the /g/-board there.

I'm German so I probably can't apply to YC.
Plus I've just made this as a hobby/side project and don't have time to deal with trying to monetize it yet.

#25The 12-hour lifespan of content links is interesting; it prevents indexing or hot-linking content on the site. Even if the RIAA/MPAA/etc. set up bots watching the room and issuing takedowns for infringing files, the time allowed to comply with a DMCA takedown is greater than the lifespan of a file on the service.
In other words: this should be fun, until they get sued out of existence.

#28I love this idea and I think this has the potential to be really amazing. I could see myself using it socially as well as a sort of remote office. The ability to have music autoplay (? it appears anyway, doesn't seem to be working for me right now) seems very interesting. I think you're really onto something with this. My main concern would be privacy before I started using this on any type of regular basis though. If you can solve that, or even really just make a self-hosted version, I'd be all over it.

#29NSFW
I don't know that the site is NSFW, but clicking the links on the site is not advised at work.
