Not quite a copyright concern but wouldn't this get confused with the island[0]? [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yap

Java is also a place name

I crack up every time I see the Java logo, a cup of coffee. I honestly doubt they knew it was an island with hundreds of millions of inhabitants when they picked that name.

Cool app, but I really love the style. Is there a name for this kind of style? There’s a common theme here with sites like https://glitch.com . I love it, so it would be nice to put a name to it. Also reminds me of https://sourcehut.org , but to a lesser degree. Big fan of that design too!

Probably something like “offset printing retro” would work...

This is the correct answer, that’s how I know it as well.

The idea is cool but the execution is weird. Why can I not replace a speaker as a watcher when they leave the room? You just end up with dead rooms with a bunch of watchers. Or am I over thinking this?

It’s probably just the MVP. It’s how products are launched these days.
