Comment on Show HN: Prompt.im - A simple real-time chat app built in 1 day

Comments

My friend, Greg and I wanted to try out node.js to see how we liked the language (we're looking in to using it on http://interstateapp.com in the near future) and so we decided to do the normal thing and build a multi-channel web chat app.

So far we've spent about 1 day developing it and it seems to be working pretty well. Feel free to try it out by visiting the main prompt channel here: http://prompt.im/prompt.

For those interested, the chat completely uses node.js (with expressjs and nowjs) for the server-side code and we use MongoDB to archive all sent messages.

Any comments would be appreciated :)
