Seems like a decent idea, but showing up to the site, I didn't really understand what the point of the site was. The hn title made sense, but the site doesn't seem to explain that well; nor does it explain to me why I should use it instead of IRC. (It also never finished "loading", I assume that's just a js error though).
- bdr 16y agoThank you. Re: IRC, the answer is that I'm trying to address a different market. IRC is great for us nerds. But there's no good mass consumer version at the moment, and that's what I'm going for.

- daleharvey 16y agoread the answer as "You wouldnt" It looks like he is trying to make a chat application for the people who dont have the inclination to figure out irc, therefore people who already use irc have no reason to switch.
- akkartik 16y agoIt fits quite well. He's addressing the market of people who don't know what IRC is. The value prop is simply: FlyByChat is the best place to chat online. Any mention of IRC would be retrogressive.
- DanBlake 16y agoUh, Tinychat ? http://techcrunch.com/2010/07/28/tinychat/ http://techcrunch.com/2010/07/28/tinychat/
- bdr 16y agoThere are a lot of problems with tinychat. You can't even join multiple rooms. Of course, they have users, which is a pretty killer feature, but that's what I'm working on. :)
