Web app feedback (chatting site redux)
benjamincanfly: Last week I asked for feedback (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=267049) on my web app, Circle of Conversation. HN readers were enormously helpful and I've implemented a number of your suggestions.The initial site broke too many conventions in an attempt to differentiate. I'm now focusing on adhering to convention in areas where clarity is key. The site has a shorter name ("chchchat"), chat rooms are no longer called conversations, and users are able to give rooms custom titles in addition to tags. The "intelligent" features of the site are now dormant, and even when active will remain transparent to users.I've removed redundant content and minimized certain features so that the interface is focused on the chat rooms themselves. I've also redesigned the chat room listings to look more like the layouts of popular media sites like YouTube. Also it's now easier to invite friends to chat rooms, as each one has a static URL which is displayed prominently for copy/pasting.Thanks for taking another look, and thanks again for all of the feedback you shared last week!
