Show HN: Chat Simply – Group chat for everyone

Today my friends and I are launching a project we've been hacking on for the past few years. It's friendly web based group chat (with apps for Mac, Windows, and iOS) that's not limited to a single business. It basically offers the power of XMPP with a simple UI.

chatsimply.com

Please check it out and let me know what you think!

Chat Simply allows me to stay in contact with both my friends and co-workers from both my phone and my computer. It's nice to be able to continue a conversation from my office to lunch and back.

clearly an employee.. make yourself known and just chat with us.. this kind of pretending to be a customer doesn't work well on HN.. just my .02

Sorry if that came off wrong. I've only recently starting helping with development but have been a long time beta tester and really enjoy using it!

I've been pestering Nick and the gang to launch this thing for years! I'm so happy it's finally out in the world. As a UI designer, I've found this thing is the best tool for sharing and discussing visual things. Now that it's live, I can now get all of my clients on this thing.
