So, it's like IRC &channels with +l 6 CHANMODE? Nice, but the idea is literally decades old.

The idea is cool but the execution is weird. Why can I not replace a speaker as a watcher when they leave the room? You just end up with dead rooms with a bunch of watchers. Or am I over thinking this?

It’s probably just the MVP. It’s how products are launched these days.

Yeah okay, another chat app. I was going to ask questions but I think the below linked blog article about it would be better. I like the UI. Big, basic and intuitive! Thats a plus! Also 'kinda' like the domain itself! I imagine that was a quick early purchase.. As for the rest, I'm struggling to see something interesting. Unless its serverless and p2p based rooms ? That would be kinda neet, done before of course, but…
