Info: MeBeam, a hybrid chat/image message board Slogan: You see what I'm saying. MeBeam is reboot of a relatively successful startup I had about 10 years ago. The reason I wrote this service is because I guess it's a bit of an annoyance to get ready for a video chat if you're busy, don't look your best, or just don't want to. MeBeam is something like a cross between instant messaging and imaging. Messages are left on MeBeam using text and just as you send it, it takes a snapshot of you with your camera to further encapsulate the mood of the message. There is no signup to MeBeam, you simply go to the site, and enter into or create a room and start messaging. I have designed it to look and feel as much as possible like a native app, using PWA principles. You can invite friends into a room using virtually any external app, (invite skype friends,messenger, sms etc) There is no limit to the number of rooms you can create, either for public or private usage. You can bookmark rooms for ease of use; and you can turn ON message alerts, so that any room you have bookmarked that receives a message while you are away, will send you a notification via push. The base engine uses canvas, so scrolling up and down is written from scratch to emulate a native mobile app as much as possible. I have conducted a huge amount of alpha testing on my own, but am having issues especially with push notifications and all the different types of devices and configurations out there. Second, as you can imagine without the need to signup there is a lot of smut that gets posted on MeBeam, and I would like to implement something between machine learned image recognition and moderation to handle the issue. (It is not an issue on private rooms) Cpu usage is kind of high, but I will be optimizing that a lot - on older phones/tablets it can run fairly slow - but anything semi-modern it is very fast.
