I like that you can hover over a chat bubble and see the post in the original language.

I was expecting the source to be open given a github.com URL in the link...just a readme. Any plans to put the source code on Github?

I'm aiming to get the backend open sourced in a week or two so keep posted! I just wanted to get something out there in the mean time.
