This is basically IRC with file sharing... and everyone is ignoring the filesharing part because it's full of porn. So basically you created a html5 IRC clone, very cool. Just wondering: What are your plans for this? And Does this have any IRC-like commands?

Makes sense, I could see this eclipsing the current way we share files.

Thought of a new analogy: snapchat meets IRC meets torrents

It's very nice for what's going on right now. I mean, a big internet orgy. However, the lack of private rooms pretty much kills it for me. Otherwise, it would have been perfect to use at work.

There will be private rooms (hidden in the public list) and password protected rooms in the foreseeable future.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I know a lot of this post-PRISM fear of the US government is to be expected and is certainly popular on HN, but comments that single out the US like this really make little sense to me. The governments of Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand all share tech-related intel with the United States and, potentially if not presumably, have similarly intrusive methods of surveillance. China goes so far as to ban socia…

The USA has taken possession of .com domains and raided physical premises based on copyright. This need have nothing to do with the NSA and still be a perfectly valid and reasonable suggestion. I think it's reasonable that any site that has user generated content should consider not being hosted on US soil or using a .tld that is under US control.
