took a spin, pretty cool. Does it record convos? As a site owner, I would want to know what people were chatting up. As a web surfer, I like the anonymity of it.
Fun! There’s a lot of features there to play with and it acts as a real time view counter. Interestingly I used it then left without even reading the article
Not sure how this is appealing at all. I see a bunch of stick figures moving rapidly and comments flashing too quickly to read. I gave up as it wasn't obvious at all what to do or how to particpate.
The issue is that my site right now is too crowded giving this post reached a good position on HN. On regular days, this are much calmer. You can check other sites using the Townsquare on https://townsquare.cauenapier.com/ (fixed link). Check out the map.

Maybe add some geolocation filter for higher number of users? For example, limit number of people to 10 based on closest location
Fun! People in a town square still have identities. They are just likely to not know each other. I think this is a significant part of a great idea. What it, and most/all other communication software is missing, is the ability to continue a conversation into a new context. It would be great to move a convo from the public square into a shop, then maybe share contact info to get together another day.
I'll need to think this through. I don;t want to overcomplicate the project...Part of charm is the simplicity.
