I've been using this in beta for awhile now, and to me it's kinda like Twitter, but with much more genuine and authentic conversations. Big fan of it!

I love chalk

Feels like a modern replacement for the old school forum?

I've been using Chalk since sometime in December and its become my 2nd most used app behind Twitter. Always interesting conversations and a great community in there. Its great to jump into a discussion about something that just happened irl or just discussing a topic in general

👋😊! Very cool to see Chalk on here. Our whole thing is to make Chalk a fun place to be. So, seeing y’alls comments makes us feel good about the work we’re doing to make it so.

I was originally an early user of a product that pre-dated Chalk, became obsessed with the feeling that @johnexley describes in the comments here, and spent a ton of time with @ptpells and @jnoh (Chalk's creators). So, @timkomada and I led a seed investment in a product that we think is desperately needed, particularly in mobile. Quite simply, Chalk can be the best place to have group conversations with friends and connections about virtually whatever is on your mind. It solves lots of problems that Twitter can't (and may never) handle. The closest thing I can think of is what @joshm had built on desktop with Branch — Chalk is a more open, accessible version of that on mobile. I find it's the best place to "hang out" online.

Saw a really cool use case for @heychalk last night when @deray announced he's running for Mayor of Baltimore. @Besvinick instantly started a Chalk conversation around the topic, was a cool discussion: https://twitter.com/Besvinick/st...

Been using the beta as well. Focused on group chats around particular topics / questions which is a cool take. Reminds me a little bit of Rooms.

Chalk is the first app I've used since 2008 that's given me the same feeling of inspiration and, let's call it, 'loneliness-replacing connection' that I had the very first time I ever used Twitter. As @conradd and @nbashaw and @canthardywait have echoed, the community on chalk is incredible. It's one of my favorite places to lean back and get lost on my phone.

There's been some really interesting conversation in the Chalk community over the last few months. Here's where I think they can fit: conversations on Twitter suck. If you're trying to do anything more than exchange a few replies with one person, the organization is just awful. Chalk can be that missing link.

I've been using Chalk and the prior product for a while and its simply wonderful to see we can have community and conversations on mobile with strangers in 2016. I had lost all faith this was even possible. Great job @ptpells and @jnoh !

Peter has done an incredible job building this community and perfecting the product. I'm really excited they're ready to unveil. Congrats Peter & team - amazing execution!

Opening for non-US numbers anytime soon?

I can't get through the "Sign up" as Chalk doesn't want my Swiss non-US number... but I was able to download it from my local app store?!?

very cool and very powerful. @ptpells I'd love to know what's the highest freq use case you guys see.

Have been using this product and the one that pre-dated it since the beginning. The team puts so much care into the design, feeling and experience of the app, it comes across in how conversations unfold, how the community forms. Peter and Jeff have a deep passion for fostering communication and dialogue and it shows in this app. The potential remains for a company to emerge beyond Twitter in the "group conversation / with public threads" space and Chalk seems like it could be a winner.

I've been using this product for a while now. Pre-dated chalk and I can't get enough of it. I love the conversations and the community is one of the best parts. It's worth a download. Great work @ptpells and @jnoh!

I am curious to try, but the App Store "get it" link appears Broken

I've been using Chalk in beta for a couple of months and love it. Simply put, there's a huge need for a spontaneous chat that is just not possible on Twitter. Twitter is where I go for ephemeral thoughts and breaking news - Chalk is where I go for meaningful conversation.

Been using it for a few weeks now too. Platform definitely has promise, curious where the team takes it!
