Because you do a node refresh on the server on every Git Push?
You could make 2 repos to avoid that: frondend + backend
Then you could update frontend without disconecting users... On backend update you'll still get this issue of disconecting on Git pushs, there is no fast-and-easy solution, I think.
If it supported video and used github logins, it could be a site where you can bounce ideas off other users. maybe stop github users without repos to use it to prevent nudity.
It's trivial to fork or create some random thing using just web UI, and since you are already registering at GitHub, this wouldn't be that effective,I think.
Looks great! Simple and just works. How long did it took to get this done? I've been thinking to just make something like this to learn node and socket.
I started making it maybe.. thursday? I had previous knowledge in node.js and a bit of knowledge in socket.io (did the tutorial) but this project was a perfect way to learn some more socket.io and also angularJS for me:)
It is worth noting that this kind of chat is fundamentally vulnerable to MitM attack: anyone can just open two chat windows and copy all messages from one to the other and vice versa, even by hands or using browser automation.
You are right, it is a bit weird. The only point is that it makes you less willing to end a conversation.. But really i was just lazy/not thinking about it. Putting it on The list!
Short story: I gave this a try not expecting much. I got matched with a person named "Lenny". The conversation started off fairly straight forward:
>Lenny: hello there
>hnperson: whats up
>Lenny: How are you doing today?
>hnperson: Not bad, yourself?
>Lenny: I'm doing beautifully
Having tried all the features I wanted to try, I was ready to end the conversation and get on with my work when Lenny asked:
>Lenny: I'm a recruiter for Facebook.
>Lenny: Are you happy with your current work?
This was a bit of a pleasant surprise, as I just entered the interview process with a few companies including Google and was planning to reach out to FB sometime today.
Unfortunately, before we were able to exchange contact info, Lenny left the chat in the middle of typing (presumably an accident?). I just wanted to share my Tuesday morning experience, and if Lenny is out there, I'd love to continue the conversation! If not, thanks for sharing this Show HN :)
That's the first time i've got to know some people from HN. Awesome.I hope it stays popular and becomes self-fueling. Is there some place else where HN people chat(other than HN itself)?

Somethings that I saw:
1. Horizontal scrolling is a bit boring (when you text a long message)
2. Automatic Vertical scrolling is not always working
But it still awesome :-) congrats!

Good effort but didn't work.

Mods, can someone please change the submission URL to HTTPS?
I didn't mean to be snarky though, in my eyes, it was just a fact
Does HN have a IRC channel ?
