What happens if I want to PM someone but they're still not signed up for ClauChat? You should probably also answer this on your page.

We are considering a few things. Our first pass is to use mechanical turk so that we get the email address from the profile page and send an email with the message. We want to be sure not to bother people who truly don't want to participate so we are working on a solution to make sure this doesn't turn into a way to spam HN users.

Please don't do this I really would want this opt in . If I were you I would disregard the message .
This is something I feel we can strike a balance with, open to any feedback and ideas people have.
Quite interesting! Any thoughts for an XMPP or IRC bridge (similar to what Slack provides)?

I'm very sensitive to this issue as a long time HN user I don't want to get spammed. However, as I was brainstorming this I came to this conclusion: If you put your email address in your HN profile you are opting in to people being able to reach you. ClapChat will just be a client for doing that easily and we will do everything to make sure a bot can't abuse this. For starters, you have to be authenticated to send a…
clap.chat: myemail@example.com

What if I then remove my email? Will clap chat remove it as well?

I reiterate your parent: please don't do this. Scraping a resource for email addresses and sending unsolicited email would be understood by a lot of people as spam. This would be different if they put something like the following in their profile: clap.chat: myemail@example.com Edit: spelling
We don't even want to dance the line with spam. Thanks for the feedback.
What if when you try to message a user who hasn't signed up and it opens their profile page and the user can type in the email address manually if it is available. Then we don't have to pay for mechanical turk and the user is just using ClapChat as their email client in a way. I'm convinced we can crack this nut in a way that works and doesn't bother people :)
