Idea of the service is that one can create a ad-hoc urls and invite friends to chat. No need to register.

I was interested by the title but since there's no information in the actual website, I'm weary of giving my email address- What is this actually about?

Yeah, it does not ask for any information at all. Just decide what you want your place to be called.

Idea: add SSL and client-side symmetric key cryptography, while not saving the passphrase anywhere.

SSL is on the "short TODO list" (service still in proof of concept stage) so SSL should be implemented/enabled soon.

I need to study more about symmetric key cryptography. Any good hints from where to learn about it the best.

It shouldn't be too hard to find a JS implementation. For instance: https://github.com/mdp/gibberish-aes
