So how does it work exactly ?

Hi WandH, I am jimi one of the co-founders of the Trigger team. Trigger is a messenger that allows you to base your conversations on topic. It's a more powerful for organisation and elegant way of doing IM.

Better conversations start from the trigger topics to friends to keeping up every single conversation.

Yes, but how does it works? I think what we are asking is for technical details (technology, servers, security, privacy)

small grammar suggestion for your tagline - "a topic-based messenger that organizes all of your conversations."

Also it wasn't clear to me what "my private reddit" meant at first. Aside from that I think the suggested conversations from trending topics is a great feature.

does this actually have any relation to reddit, or is that just a comparison? Your description doesn't really make it clear, it seems like it might not be but you really mention reddit a lot.

if it isn't linked to reddit, then i don't really understand your tagline. what is a "private reddit"?

Basically we're using Node.js&Mongodb as server and use socket.io for the realtime data transmission. Also we got a really complete RestfulAPI behind, we're looking forward to release it and make more possibilities of the future communication.

Yes we are testing out your suggestion of descriptive line "a topic-based messenger that organizes all of your conversations." vs more catchy Reddit derivative.
