Show HN: Braid: Chat Variation for a Different Conversation Style (braid.space)

Myself (Braid username: tscizzle) and Preethi (Braid username: preethiv) built this because our conversation style online doesn't fit well with traditional messaging. Our conversations tend to split into "strands", where we might send 5 messages (thus, 5 strands), and the other person wants to respond to each of the 5 messages independently.

So we built a chat application which allows each of these strands to be viewed independently, in an accessible and intuitive way. And now it's fully replaced Gchat for us (when talking to each other)! So we thought we'd share it, see if anyone else would find it useful, and see what other people thought in general.

Feel free to message us on Braid at usernames tscizzle and preethiv if you are trying it out.

Thanks, and enjoy!

love it. i always use lists in messaging platforms and it's so hard to keep track of each point in the list when talking about it.

I like the general idea. Unfortunately, it's not really usable on mobile (Chrome on Android). Thanks for sharing anyway.
