Seeing people chatting using this thingler app, I realize I would love to live-chat with people about the top Hacker News stories.
Basically, each top story would have its own chat room. In the landing page of the app, I can see each room and the number of participants.
Later, I would love to be able to upvote pieces of chat so that people can easily find relevant discussions in the chat.
- keyle 16y agoSounds like a good idea. However the upvote would have to have a time limit, like upvoted in the last 24 hours. Otherwise powerful arguments will own the top 10 forever :) Essentially, it would look like ASK HN, live.
- petercooper 16y agoCan't speak for HN but chat, like video comments, seems to prove difficult for many communities. Such features can be added but whether people use them or they fall into non-stop trollery is anyone's guess. #startups on irc.freenode.net is reasonably active though and would usually appreciate a discussion on topics coming up on HN :-)
- aymeric 16y agoWow, look like the StackOverflow thought of a similar application! http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/08/chat-now-in-public-beta/ http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/08/chat-now-in-public-bet...
