- danso 13y agoYou should've titled this with "Show HN", as it seems as if you've made it, and it is a cool project, and deserves to be on the front page as a great example of a personal project. I especially appreciate the well-written (and laid-out) walk through, so thanks!
- lumpysnake 13y agoThat's good work! However the user experience is not the best. I would rather have the chatrooms stacked on the left, instead of inside a dropdown. That way we can quickly see the available rooms. And I'd like to have a list of users currently in the same room as me. Also, a personal preference of mine is having the new message text box on the bottom. Keep it up!
- tamaspiros 13y agothanks for the comments guys. @lumpysnake: to be fair I've always struggled with web design - I just can't do it :) I wanted to put something together using Bootstrap as I find that the easiest solution. I have a lot of ideas to take this project further so I'll do my best to concentrate on UX @danso: Yeah, I've done this - I've been working on a chat app using jQuery and some other technologies but this one, using Angular is just so much better.
- taternuts 13y agoThanks for doing the write-up! The code looks pretty well doc'ed as well, I'll definitely be looking at this again because I've been meaning to integrate angular with one of my little node app
- tamaspiros 13y ago@taternuts - thanks! Good luck with your app as well
