Site is here!Today, (As I am posting this) I created a free, simple, and open solution to a problem exactly none of us have. I created what is essentially an IRC chatroom, but crappier!
Introducing
UniChat, which is a bare-bones, embarrassingly simple chatroom!
Utilizing Google's powerful Firebase platform, it is a place where you can communicate with the other users, which has peaked at 5 (yay, much many users)!
Not only is it a great messaging tool, but I am using it to create a bounty of anonymized, secure data that my machine-learning algorithms can learn human behaviour from!
It is also in active development, with new features arriving every day! (keep in mind that I came up with the idea ~8 hours ago as I am posting this)
Planned features: (starting at -2 because I was too lazy to go back and change the numbers as I came up with new ideas)
-2) OMFG CSS
-1) Username-from-cookie detection (so you don't have to keep typing the same username every time you reload the page)
0) Message submission with pressing the Enter key.
1) highlights and @mentioning
2) URL detection and creation
3) pm's and /me
4) private chatrooms (maybe)
5)
Current features:
1) Working message storage.
2) Usernames
3) Automagic pseudorandom default username creator thing
4) Unlimited message length (intentional abuse = limited message length, and/or ban from service. Potentially worse punishments will be added, if I can come up with new punishments :/)
5) Amazing, CSS-less layout.
Please do not use severely profane words (i.e. worse than ccrraapp) on UniChat.
I am also looking for more adjectives and nouns for the automagic pseudorandom default username creator thing (you can type lists of them into the service, I can check the logs if you want)
