hi everyone. A friendly reminder that this is not a place to discuss "hacking" into accounts, stealing credit card details or other illegal activities.
admin :
This was started as a place to discuss tech, programming, startups but the name hackerschat seems to give people a different idea.

I haven't been able to dedicate much time to this project but I hope to change that soon. Here's what I'm planning to work on:
admin :
1) Add a forum alongside each chat room, kinda like a discord + reddit fusion.
admin :
2) Display a notification to users signing up to let them know what the site is about and also to post their questions and idle/wait for an answer since the site does not have too many users to be able to give users an instant answer
admin :
4) Later on, I'm thinking about adding discord like support for images in the chat room. I'll need to figure out automated moderation of messages eg- using aws or google's apis.
admin :
That's the plan on the features part. The marketing part is something I'm still trying to figure out, solving the chicken and egg problem is hard. I'll be posting about some of my approaches in the coming weeks. If this project sounds interesting to you, please feel free to idle and follow along with the progress of the site!
admin :
and feel free to discuss anything related to tech, programming, startups and/or share interesting articles or blog posts

I will also be removing the left side column which currently displays the list of users online and will be moving it to the right side and will be accessible behind a button

mainly because of space. the current split is 2-8-2 using bootstraps grid layout. I plan to make it 9-3. After adding the forum, the split will make more sense
