Instachat – A simple chat site built using SignalR and ASP.NET

Hacker News

http://instachat.im Instachat is my side-project and is just a bit of fun: I am a .NET programmer and decided to learn SignalR so a chat program was the best way. This is version 2: v1 was done in February and I left it for a while but it was frankly awful with too much interface. I decided to strip it down to the basics and since I spend lots of time in the command line myself (I am a Windows Infrastructure consultant by day - What can I say? I like the command line!) I thought it might be cool to have a whole site like this. I kept it simple and secure: I don't store the contents of your chats, your username, email or anything - mainly because I don't want the overhead and it has absolutely no value to me. You start by creating a username by typing this: Login YourChosenNameWithoutSpaces If you need help type “help” without the quotes. I should be getting an SSL cert later this week hopefully. I have no idea what its future is but it is an enjoyable experiment for me and I will continue to update it. Anyway, I would appreciate if you give it a go - all comments welcome! Ta Mick
