Show HN: My learn-Zend project -- A chat room on top of all the web's sites
- fuzzix 14y agoNice work, Adam. (Also, long time - how are things?)
- pre 14y agoCheers. Things are good, at least assuming I find a new job at some point soonish.
- thatusertwo 14y agoIm in the same boat, got laid off when the company ran out of money, haven't yet found anything decent.
- pre 14y agoGood luck! Let me know if you see anything and I'll grab it first!
- duiker101 14y agoAs far as i remember you are not the first to do something like this. I will try to find the other project. You have done a good job but if you wish this to be more than a learn project i suggest you to dedicate some time to the style ;)
- pre 14y agoYeah, I'm more coder than graphic designer, certainly. Cheers for looking.
- Tim-Boss 14y agoIt was called OLark if my memory hasn't failed me. From what I remember it was semi-popular for a while but ultimately died a death of user scarcity as only the most popular websites ever had >1 active user with the program installed. Let me try find the link.... [edit] http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=801242 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=801242
- pre 14y agoYeah, that would be the difficulty. If I get time (have to concentrate mostly on job-hunting for now) I was thinking of doing a "auto-post-to-twitter" to try and pull people outside the conversation in.
- science_robot 14y agoSometime in the 90s there existed a Windows application that added a chat overlay to any webpage. Users had small rectangular icons and could move around the webpage. You could also create a "bus" and drive people around the web.
- dgabriel 14y agoI don't think OLark is quite dead. They seem to be doing fine.
- pre 14y agoHummm, that does look pretty similar, and they're charging a fortune! Weird.
- dutchbrit 14y agoI wouldn't really call Zend "lightweight", I find it to be rather an overkill.. That being said, nice work! Was this built on the latest stable release or on Zend Framework 2 beta 4?
- pre 14y agoLatest stable. And it's lightweight compared to Symfony, which the PHP web framework I'd previously used.
