that's the idea behind it :-)
I think conversations are like most living things
they're born, they live their life, and then they die
so I just tried to capture that idea in software-form
tons of conversations that don't stray off-topic, with an easy way to search for their remnants in the future
---------------
I think email/forums are already more ideal than the group chat tools out there, they just come with the downside of having to refresh the page constantly, and usually have poor formatting options
so I just tried to merge the best parts of both applications together :)
- erlend_sh 10y agoWe're playing around with these concepts in Discourse as well: https://meta.discourse.org/t/speccing-out-a-full-page-chat-plugin/49430?u=erlend_sh https://meta.discourse.org/t/speccing-out-a-full-page-chat-p... You're very welcome to join the discussion/development! Send an email to erlend@discourse.org if you wanna bounce some ideas around.
- taurath 10y agoI do agree - I've seen a huge move of my social groups to move towards IRC-style chat rooms (Telegram specifically) and it actually becomes extremely difficult to organize "real-life" meetups on them (you can pin a meetup if its "public" to the group you're in, or create another group... that has no expiration date). This creates a system where "the group" becomes a system to be managed in itself, rather than a conversation that people can pop into and out of whenever their interests align or not. Emphasizing the "fluidity" of real conversations and social groups and just how ideas pop up and die down seems a great benefit - I'd love to work on something like that.
