Hello, Would you mind sharing about front end libraries (js, css) you've used. The interface is beautiful and efficient. I'd love to hear a bit more about it.

Thanks for much for the compliment, you made my day. There's not much to say really. It's just pretty vanilla jQuery and then I code the CSS/HTML by hand. I use a few Bootstrap components, but where possibly I try to craft everything myself. I think that helps to keep it simple, if you start throwing a lot of components together you end up with a mess rather than having to put the effort in yourself and, as your time…

I was looking at the source and found your rick astley. It looked really weird in chrome's dev tools :P. Your CSS/HTML is way better than mine, time to polish my skills..

This is awesome. I can see this being massively useful. Who wants to use GMail for a chat? Coming from someone who uses Github with a few people, this would be great. I'd even pay for it if our project was more than a hobby at this point.

Thanks for the support. We'll be absolutely sure to have a useful free tier as well as a paid offering.

Thanks! That's what I meant to imply, but I didn't know how to phrase it.

Hey, thanks for the improvement. Done. Shipped like squirrel. Why don't you like the idea of signing up with GitHub? Feedback will be very valuable for us, thanks.

Not the parent, but I'm reluctant to give a website access to an account I care about just for a trial. If I know that I want to use your service, sure, but not if I just want to casually evaluate it.

I agree with this, but it's better than the alternative of signing up for a brand new username / password combo!

What would you have in mind instead?

You guys should offer this for github enterprise. Any form of integration would also be nice (an IRC or XMPP bridge) because I don't want yet another chat client on my desktop, and alerts from web clients don't cut it... ...slightly offtopic, on the alerts: chrome's rich notifications pop under apple's desktop notifications, and neither let me capture the notification and have the system voice read it to me rather th…

Yeah, github enterprise definitely makes sense, and it is something that we will look into.

Chrome's notifications since v28 kinda suck. Browser notifications have always been difficult, and in fact our www.trou.pe native app was originally just a toolbar app to solve this problem.

As long as it's not Pound coins. Those things are heavy! Thanks for the feedback. Our Clickstarter (tm?) is doing quite nicely. I don't think we'll need to Kickstarter it, we've actually built a lot of the tech anyway and could put this together pretty quickly and start charging too.

Would love to chat to you directly about all this. Your contact details are hard to find!

Is that Matt of Haraka fame?

I concur, doesn't feel right. I think at the very least, have a message saying "This information was shared when you did X" so it's at least explicit. Possibly just not at all; methinks the github crowd, unlike the facebook crowd, are sufficiently privacy sentient.

That wasn't the intention at all, it was more to save you having to type those details in again. Sorry if you felt wronged by it. We're developers ourselves and value our privacy too/

Please make it so we can delete our accounts. I signed in for gitter because I like what I read and wanted to be on the waiting list, but when I got the message saying about Trou.pe I was curious to see what it was, not sign up. That's not cool, and now I'm signed up for some site I don't even know what does... I looked around after being force signed up and STILL don't know what it is. Now I can't delete it without going to Github and de-authorizing the actual account I did want. ಠ_ಠ
