what does hyper-live mean ?

  Test it and I think you will understand. Simultaneously real-time typing for all involved...

    Mobile support ... ?

      I made this with using my iPhone as a major use-case so yep full iPhone support. Don't have an Android to test with though.

You've been spamming the same site repeatedly for days. It's currently on the front page of /show multiple times.

    Sorry, my iPhone keyboard needs a reset badly. Yeah I posted this once last week and it hit FP, and then I made a lot of changes since then and open-sourced it (by popular demand), so I'm linking to the source code now. And admittedly I lost track of posting it in between then and now, so that was totally my mistake. Wow, now that I look at how it's on Show multiple times, that's really embarrassing. Okay good call, I made a mistake; I'll do my best to avoid that mistake in the future. Thanks.

Again, Great project! Would be interested to see how it evolves and would like to incorporate in a site myself.

It says: "license: tbd" Which means, this defaults to full copyright. It is not Open Source.
- penpapersw 9y ago
  The source is open for you to look at, I haven't decided on further permissions. That's why I felt comfortable using the phrase "open source" :) Plus it's not a very complicated website. Took me like a day to make. So there's really hardly any use in having it open sourced in the sense that people can use my code. It's probably easier to just write it yourself :D

Reminds me of the good old days with Powwow. I've seen this idea come and go (and even wrote my own version), but I've found that although this kind of letter-by-letter communication is literally 3-5x more efficient, only a small percentage of users choose efficiency at the cost of displaying their poor typing and spelling skills. About efficiency, if you think I'm exaggerating, imagine for a moment that phone calls didn't exist, but that every phone conversation required recording and sending a voice mail. Imagine how ridiculously slow and inefficient that would be. Well, that's instant messaging, the most inefficient method of communication ever devised. Millions of users stare at their Slack chats, waiting for "So and so is typing" for minutes, until finally So and So just gives up and ends up writing nothing at all. ;)

  Oh man, Powwow. I had completely forgotten about that. I believe ICQ had a similar live mode too. Thanks for the nostalgia trip :)
