Mobile-friendly IRC web client, private rooms, and bots with commands/webhooks.
Sent out the link to several co-workers (since we are looking for this sort of tool right now) and then we all get the "We'll let you know when we go live" email.
So thanks for making me look like an idiot.
The trouble is this is for teams, you kinda have to have a team. We wanted to gauge interest so we've done it this way.
If we can we'll go live for collections of people (if there are 2 or 3 people from the same company email domain) this week or next.
I had three guys from my team sign up so we could test it out, and only after signing up did we find out that it's not live yet.
I have seen this strategy recommended to gauge interest, but have always been wary of doing it myself (for exactly this reason: people being like "wtf? this isn't real?").
It is probably one of those things that should be done, even if it makes you uncomfortable.
That says there might be a need for it, but on the downside it's really simple to build, so competition can spring up very quickly.
The robot framework is also written in emacslisp.
The irc servers are ngircd and the webserver is nginx.
You guys at #emacs have helped this happen. An awesome community.
Looking forward to seeing the product!
