Legit concerns! We use it ourselves though and we actually don't look at the app too often, mainly when we want to see if the other is there or are in a conversation..
We'll also be building in some privacy options very soon that will make using the app a bit more comfortable :)
- yaddayadda 13y agoFrom the sounds of it, if you're in a group conversation, anybody can join. Is there a notification? For example, in face-to-face work conversations, there are "quiet" conversations (e.g., I heard xyz, is it true?) that are done in public, but where participants can see other people approaching and choose to change the topic or continue. Is there a comparable capability in sqwiggle?
- ericbieller 13y agoWe've actually had many conversations surrounding this exact thing. Currently users can join any open conversation but we have plans to add some very simple privacy options so that some conversations won't be intruded on.
- mnicole 13y agoSince you can use their last key click to determine if they're AFK, idle or active the way many chat/IRC apps work today, is it feasible (assuming they're using a smart phone), to use an app to determine if the user is using the phone capacity of that device and relay that via an icon in the chat? That way you're able to use the existing technology to figure out if they're there without needing to visually prying on them.
