Neat! The interface doesn't seem to "grow" to a 1440p display on the first page in the app. This leaves the "Add Friend" button floating in the middle of nowhere. I'm sure there is a better responsive design for this to at least avoid visual confusion. The interface looks correct once in an actual chat. When I message someone it says "Unknown User" as their name in the message history. I spoke with you briefly as a t…

Who starts their conversation with "Hello I am from HN and spamming you"??? Then "Because I want to test the product you posted on HN" I literally said "test it without spaming maybe like what things are broken then help me out?" Stress testing or spamming a piece of software shouldn't be done without proper permission. How did you manage to call or message me if this wasnt a real piece of software? Proof https://ibb…

Also what is the point in redacting all of that and not the name at the top?

The term "spam" in that context meant I was messaging you. I am sorry if that was unclear.

You posted this on HN and automatically put new users into a group chat with you as the leader matching the name on your HN profile.

"call" was it requesting permission to access a device ofc it will it requires permission of your mic and camera
