I don't think that's a good fit for HN. A chat room format might make more sense and I'm actually trying to build something similar to what you described : a chat room to discuss anything related to tech and startups. It's appropriately called Hackers Chat [0]. It's currently a single chat room, but I'll be adding support for user created chat rooms and try to become "Discord for cryptocurrencies".

- rapnie 9y agogiven your interest for cryptocurrencies, shouldn't you make this a decentralized app.. or is it? but then it would be like Mastodon and already exists :)
- ploggingdev 9y agoIt's not decentralized, just a simple website built using Django. The idea is to host chat rooms for people (including non-technical folks) who are interested in cryptocurrencies. I'm still figuring out how to differentiate my website from Discord/Gitter.im and one of the ideas I'm considering is to have widgets that display the prices for btc, eth etc. > but then it would be like Mastodon and already exists :) Yup, IRC and Mastadon and a whole lot of other services exist but they are not easy to use for non-technical people. Web based chat is much easier to use.
