#22Wouldn't it be great if this would be open source?
Great idea! We'll look into doing this in the future.

#23Can we please reign in the standard asshole HN comments for once? These are teens showing off a project they built. At least make an effort to carefully word your criticism, or say something nice alongside it.

#24There's an existing project for GitHub called Hub. Why did you pick a name that overlaps with it?? https://github.com/github/hub

#25So, first things first: Get yourself a domain name. Second, why do you need Write access to anything? You're team chat, with some notification power. Giving you access to write on not just my repos, but the repos of my organizations, is a pretty big "Hell no" without there being a company there, some names, or(and no offense here, Ross), someone I can properly sue if the shit really hits the fan. This isn't so much a…
We definitely plan on getting a domain once the hackathon is over and we have some time to relax and really plan this out :) As I mentioned earlier, you have nothing to worry about - we don't touch your repos! Unfortunately the read permissions we need are classified as "write" (or at least we couldn't find a way to specify them as "read" in our very limited time). Once everything settles down we are going to think a…

You didn't miss anything - GitHub repo permissions are pretty much all-or-nothing. We've been putting up with this for two years at CircleCI :(

#26> Team Chat That Doesn't Suck IRC? I use IRC for all sorts of purposes and audiences, there are tens ifnot hundreds of implementations that are being actively maintained, and it's been a standard for decades. How does that suck? Edit: Oh they mention "Like IRC, but smarter", where smarter is a link. Let's see about that. > Know who's seen any message. Facebook does this. It more annoys me than anything else, but I ca…
While not the same concept (or scale), this comment seems awfully similar to the ones originally posted about Dropbox. People resorted on using older UNIX programs to handle what Dropbox did better and much much easier.
While some people don't exactly value aesthetic, I do, so even if it's a prettier IRC client, I'd take it. I'll also point out that "team chat" may include a whole company. From sales to support to engineering and design. It's highly unlikely that everyone would like or know how to use IRC.
Native campfire sucks. It works, but it sucks.
