Quick Chat iPhone Application

[Amos]

iPhone and iPod Touch Application: Quick Chat

Chat with a group of your friends at once in real time!

Enter a name for your room and go.

Give your friends the name of the room you created so they can join too!

Or join a room your friend created!

Simple, yet powerful as there are also many other advanced options available.

No passwords, no registration, no setup, just instant chat.

Any feedback/comments/suggestions are welcome.

App will be updated regularly as needed.

Thanks and Enjoy!

Hello,
I support fully your efforts in building a chat fast and without much loss of time.
Strong point, to create a room "private" in which only invite your friends!
I have not tried it yet, but I think you also use the push notification .. to bring up a window when someone starts to chat.

My advice is this: Why not build a widget you can insert into a webpage?
So you can chat with people from my page with my iPhone!
Not a great idea?
Let me know what you think.
Happy holidays

Hi thank you for the feedback.

I do have somewhat of a working widget that can currently be used.

Use this link:
http://irc.dontsnooze.com

Choose a name and then once connected,
you need to join the room you want.

It's a little easier in the app but its not much.

You *can* actually add a password to a room with the widget.
You need to be the operator of the room (the first person who joins will be the operator, and an operator can also give others operator status)

in the widget you would use the mode command:

/mode #<room name> +k <password>

So if your room was named "mySecretRoom"
and you wanted a password to be "mySecretPassword"

you would type:

/mode #mySecretRoom +k mySecretPassword

(Understand also that when the last person leaves the room, the room will no longer exist until someone else joins, and then they will be the operator)

the person who wants to join will have to type:

/join #mySecretRoom mySecretPassword

For obvious reasons, its not currently descripted in the app.

Once I have some time I will make it so you can do the same in the app.

A push notification for this type of service would probably not be possible (or very extremely difficult if at all possible) altho I am entrigued and may check into it.

I am also thinking about revamping the whole layout...all in time tho.

This app was made because I needed an app that I could quickly and easily chat with a group of other people, and easily get them to join the same room we are in without having them have to go thru any type of setup, just a name and channel.

Once again I do appreciate the feedback...

Thanks again
