I started this as an interesting way to get people communicating with each other - I'm fairly new to San Francisco, and am always interested in meeting new people to chat with, so I decided to make a site where you can post online that "i'm sitting at a coffee shop, and interested in chatting with anyone around" - then other people can go online and see which coffee shops have people at them - kind of a longwinded explanation for a simple site...I'm hoping the concept makes sense with the minimalist approach on the page. Still need to make a mobile version, I know the JS doesn't play nice with the BBerry, not sure about iPhones - anyone out there that can try for an iPhone?

I like the concept a lot, I'm not so sure on the small and dotted border. I think the small text could possibly work without the border though, for some reason it just distracts me. Really cool concept though.

Seems to work fine on the iPhone. You probably have this in mind already, but it would be nice if I could: - See my entry immediately added to the table (rather than having to refresh) - Remove my entry. (In case I get a phone call and have to leave before the time is up, or have a change of heart.) Other than that, I really like the minimalistic design. The dashed border doesn't bother me at all[1] as it gives it a nice hacker feel --- unless that's not what you were aiming for --- and goes well with the [coffee][talk] header. One thing that I'm not too sure of is the red text on gray background (the column headers). But I can't seem to think of another color that would go better. [1] Not that I'm a web designer or graphic artist. =============== EDIT: Additionally, maybe you should number the instructions at the top of the location page as it gives the impression that you can click on them, like a menu. e.g. On the iPhone I scrolled back up with the word "instructions" out of view, and thought it was a menu. There also doesn't seem to be a way to get back to the homepage, although that's not too much of a problem since there is only one location.
