None of this stuff speaks to me, just looking at your website. Yeah its cute and it's on-par with trends but just give it to me straight in the first sentence- im busy, and already in my workplace so lets start there. If it's chat with a bupbupbup attached, then tell me its a chat with a bupbupbup attached, if you're trying to do 'its a discord, but for programmers and startuppy types ' then say that directly. Shoot…

This sort of thing would have been a research project a few years ago. It's exciting to see the Web evolve. Broadcasting realtime text and video are now building blocks we can rearrange in innovative ways.

The concept sounds on point. I do understand some of the reaction in this thread. The cutesy graphics are a bit much for me personally and may not differentiate you sufficiently from other insufficiently professional tools e.g. Discord. I am speaking as someone who has tried to bring Discord into a community organisation (non-profit) and faced resistance based on branding rather than functionality.

WebRTC is great for this - and has been available in building block SDK form for some time (eg Tokbox). When I last looked it had codec issues cf the client side tools eg Zoom. Not sure if these have been solved yet?
