Ask HN: What do you think of my group chat app?

Great stuff

- I love the signup "process" :)

- I like the /anychatroom feature

- I like the persistant nature of the chats

- It's interface is amazingly simple/quirky - I love it

- personally i don't care about security, as long as this is intended for OPEN chats and chatrooms (twitter-esque) .. not some private closed sessions between you and your secret lover...

cons

- manvsmachine is right about the domain name.. could confuse some users

Idea

- i don't know how long backwards you have the conversations open .. that is.. can I scroll back and check what John was saying a few months ago? If so: excellent! Then a permalink as in http://yamr.net/chatroom#388332 as an url to every single line of chat would be totally awesome

Good luck with this project!! I think it rocks

- one extra downside: 10 second refresh-rate in a live conversation is very long... I'd try to go down to at least 4-5 seconds (maybe at least for registered users)

I like both ideas of perm-linking to a specific post and bringing the refresh rate down for registered users. I'll see what I can do :)
