Cool idea, but guys you should definitely go on topics chat and filters by zone or topic for example , otherwise too many noise and nothing intresting to read as a feed ;-) can be much cooler and useful , lovely idea +1
Hi there, and thanks a ton for submitting the chat to Product Hunt! :) The fun thing though, is that we started coding it this sunday, and today it´s here. Future plans are at the moment really simple, just as we want the experience of this thing to be; 1) Make history of last 100 (or something) chat lines appear when you first enter. 2) Allow image posts. 3) Allow (optional) nickname. We´ll see how that goes. Any suggestions are welcome, by the way! :)
Ha its quite interesting. Everyone is anonymous but you see where their comments come from.
I'm sure when 10+ people are actively commenting it can become unbearable.
If I can't say anything without it getting lost in the spam, no one can...
socket.on('chat message', function(obj){
socket.emit('chat message', {
msgtext: 'STOP SPAMMING!',
lat: obj.lat,
lng: obj.lng
});
});
Having a bit of fun with this - one thing that sticks out to me is how precise the locations are when you zoom in. Kiiiinda creepy. I'd recommend a zoom level similar to Periscope, where you can't see exact locations.
I totally love the idea! Probably there will be some issues in case of thousands of people connected in the same time, but I guess it's just a prototype. Well done!
I can see this being pretty awesome with different verticals and niche 'needs'. For example, a freelance marketplace. Being able to connect with someone where you need them at the moment you need them... Very cool!
