I've been idling in #hn on freenode for years now, and sadly it's consistently been dead, activity wise. Eager to see if hnchat can change the game.
We are an international bunch of tech entrepreneurs and the channel is usually pretty active.
I'm getting a 500 from Heroku. btw, care to share the tech stack this is using?
Its nice though, I like the profile key integration.
Another chat app with mostly arbitrary ways to communicate? No thanks. I understand this is for HN community, but with XMPP, ICQ derivatives, IRC, etc I already have too many spaces to keep up with. Its nice though, I like the profile key integration.

Yeah, the thing is, this needs some kind of IRC bridge, with auth. If you're an HN user, IRC is probably your usual mechanism for realtime textual communication, and I gather many would rather use their very rich tooling built on IRC than check another website.
I doubt it. I see less and less developers using IRC outside of quick help and instead using Slack.
A lot of languages and techs have both a Slack and IRC... it's hard to know which one's more active sometimes which is annoying.

username checks out
I just don't see the usability cause I already have multiple messaging/chatroom services.
