It's sarcasm mixed with caremad.
I was a huge fan of Pownce, Motion, LeafyChat, Baconfile, Convore, and Grove. All failed.
I was really hoping this one would work, but after seeing no improvements in a year, it became obvious it wouldn't. :(
- webology 14y agoIt's frustrating to see products die from what seems like as an outsider as attention rot. Then again, I completely understand moving on if an idea doesn't stick.
- mh- 14y agoWould like your opinion: do you think this is still a viable opportunity- serving this niche? (paid team chat) ..or is Campfire/HipChat/whatever-else-is-left "good enough" to make it not worthwhile?
- heretohelp 14y agoHosted IRC is an awkward place to be. Those that don't give a fuck are using Campfire/HipChat. Those that do give a fuck are usually hosting their own IRC. Find a way to squeeze out both and you have a potentially nice business model. (Hosted IRC + nice web clients for paying customers?)
- pwang 14y agoYeah, Convore was fun. I'm sad it went away. (Not caremad, though - thanks, Kenneth; urbandictionary owes you a page hit today.) But huge props to Leah for keeping at it... I'm disappointed at the haters on this thread taking personal pot-shots, instead of recognizing that her record shows an admirable perseverance and a true passion for building better messaging technology.
