Yeah okay, another chat app. I was going to ask questions but I think the below linked blog article about it would be better. I like the UI. Big, basic and intuitive! Thats a plus! Also 'kinda' like the domain itself! I imagine that was a quick early purchase.. As for the rest, I'm struggling to see something interesting. Unless its serverless and p2p based rooms ? That would be kinda neet, done before of course, but…

Do know of any good mobile websites with good e2e ephemeral chats?

We built https://safer.chat some time ago and I have been using it on my phone for a while, there are some glitches but in general it's been usable.

I like the design. Any CSS frameworks that can produce similar look?

Why would you need a framework for this? Oh man this is so wrong...

Because I want to save the time I have. I use Bulma for 100% of my projects because I want spending priceless minutes of my own free daily time for the application _core_ instead of flexboxing viewports and debugging compatibility for numerous clients (and proving my point here).

I understand this sentiment, I really do... but this layout/design is so simple to make I think a framework would be overkill and unnecessary bloat. This is coming from someone who does css for a living daily so your mileage may vary.

>Within Elixir and Erlang programs, it’s common to have hundreds of thousands of processes running at any given time. And limit it to just 6 participants? :D

"your messages appear and disappear as quickly as you type them, which means unless you pay attention to what everyone says (for once), you’ll miss it."

I think limit is based on human attention limit, not Elixir process limit.
