Hello everyone- In the spirit of previous Rails-based product announcements that I''ve seen here, I''m pleased to announce Rails'' newest progeny, at http://www.lingr.com. Lingr is a community site where you can chat about your current interests, in realtime, right in your browser. You can find related topics, meet new people, and just have fun in general. Membership is free- in fact you don''t even have to join to chat. By joining, you gain the ability to create your own rooms, have a Favorite Rooms list, and some other goodies, but anonymous users are welcome to chat. For the technically-inclined amongst you (99% of the people reading this post, I assume :-)), you might be interested in some of the technical details, which are covered in a blog post I made at http://blog.lingr.com/2006/08/lingr_under_the.html. Anyway, enjoy, and we would love to hear any feedback you have, at http://www.lingr.com/help/feedback. Best, Danny Burkes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
Hi Daniel! Congratulation! It is really great site, i love this clear and clean design. I was really surprised when i could join to a room without any registration. So it is easy to use. I''m lovin'' it :) Attila http://goraffe.com On 8/18/06, Daniel Burkes <dburkes@netable.com> wrote:> > Hello everyone- > > In the spirit of previous Rails-based product announcements that I''ve > seen here, I''m pleased to announce Rails'' newest progeny, at > http://www.lingr.com. > > Lingr is a community site where you can chat about your current > interests, in realtime, right in your browser.

I assume you already know about the ''issue'' with people being able to change their name to include markup and to post messages that have markup.... I too loved how simple the interface was..... good job!! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

It looks great and is easy to use. I kept losing connection though, pretty sure thats not on my end. Good job!

To me it appears like it is polling the server for new messages. Michael -- Michael Schuerig mailto:michael@schuerig.de http://www.schuerig.de/michael/
Any chance you might release this under some sort of open source license? Would be great to get an engine/plugin that can be dropped into communities. Especially one as plesant to use as Lingr is!
