"your messages appear and disappear as quickly as you type them, which means unless you pay attention to what everyone says (for once), you’ll miss it."
I think limit is based on human attention limit, not Elixir process limit.
The idea is cool but the execution is weird. Why can I not replace a speaker as a watcher when they leave the room? You just end up with dead rooms with a bunch of watchers. Or am I over thinking this?
Yep, that's gotta be a bug surely? If somebody leaves and the room now has 5/6 people, somebody can only join as an audience member and the sixth slot is stuck on "x has left the room". Surely slots should be reusable?
Is there a name for this kind of style? There’s a common theme here with sites like https://glitch.com. I love it, so it would be nice to put a name to it.
Also reminds me of https://sourcehut.org, but to a lesser degree. Big fan of that design too!
Saying it "utterly fails" seems harsh, especially because you don't give any explanation. I don't think you can say it fails at all, the author never said it was an attempt at minimalism, or minimalism in the way you understand it.
The app has its own aesthetic. I think it's debatable whether it's minimalist or not. I don't think it's justifiable to say it "utterly fails" either way though.
Cool design, but the idea of messages disappearing after they're typed makes it practically pointless for general use. There would be a lot of other ways to accomplish similar functionality of keeping the most recently typed messages active, without removing them completely.
Sure, but you can record face to face conversations too. But to do so requires more effort, and would only be done if you had a particular need for it.
The original intent and design still would apply to the vast majority of interactions on the chat room.
Anyone truly like Yap as I do?
Really like the concept of ephemeral communication. Focus on the people at the moment, instead of doing 'public image engineering'.
Added that to https://github.com/fiatjaf/awesome-loginless. The company behind it apparently specializes in making these loginless useful apps, they also have TinySheet.com and TinyMonth.com
Because I want to save the time I have. I use Bulma for 100% of my projects because I want spending priceless minutes of my own free daily time for the application _core_ instead of flexboxing viewports and debugging compatibility for numerous clients (and proving my point here).
I understand this sentiment, I really do... but this layout/design is so simple to make I think a framework would be overkill and unnecessary bloat. This is coming from someone who does css for a living daily so your mileage may vary.
I crack up every time I see the Java logo, a cup of coffee. I honestly doubt they knew it was an island with hundreds of millions of inhabitants when they picked that name.
Not a chance, if Alphabet can call a molten salt power storage spinoff "Malta" (and really, really drive home the point that they were coming up with names by spitballing random "molten"-like sounds)
And limit it to just 6 participants? :D
