Random comment on the app: Using a 4-character room code is a really really bad idea.
"Zoom-bombing" became a thing because 9 digit room codes without an additional passcode was fine, before millions of new people started using it and suddenly the probability of guessing a valid room code shot up.
Nowhere near enough entropy with a 4 alphanumeric character room code to prevent this kind of attack if the app takes off.

- adamthewan 6y agoAh man, we're only human. Mistakes happen. If we never launched and got feedback from you guys, we'd never see the potential downfalls of the tech we created!
- polysaturate 6y agoTrue, but this is something that can and will change after beta?
- adamthewan 6y agoHey, Adam from MeetButter here (OP)! Yup, we're listening to all the feedback. Working on a few ideas on how to fix any room-bombing issue.
