This is cool, although given the anonymity and anonymity trolling comes up pretty quickly, along with nice things :)

@nivo0o0 wow! This is so cool! I couldn't resist myself :) Great initiative! But what's the goal?

This is what it looks like when 80 people across the world are having a conversation:

Wow this is super fun!
Andrew Yates
Ha, this is fun. "Ocean Guy is Back" was a highlight!

Cool idea, but guys you should definitely go on topics chat and filters by zone or topic for example , otherwise too many noise and nothing intresting to read as a feed ;-) can be much cooler and useful , lovely idea +1
Nacho Martinez
There must be a way to silence some countries. Great idea.

Puh my productivity went down. So addictive...

Hi there, and thanks a ton for submitting the chat to Product Hunt! :) The fun thing though, is that we started coding it this sunday, and today it´s here. Future plans are at the moment really simple, just as we want the experience of this thing to be; 1) Make history of last 100 (or something) chat lines appear when you first enter. 2) Allow image posts. 3) Allow (optional) nickname. We´ll see how that goes. Any suggestions are welcome, by the way! :)

I was expecting that I would click on a country and chat with someone there... That could be interesting

Ha its quite interesting. Everyone is anonymous but you see where their comments come from. I'm sure when 10+ people are actively commenting it can become unbearable.

If I can't say anything without it getting lost in the spam, no one can... socket.on('chat message', function(obj){ socket.emit('chat message', { msgtext: 'STOP SPAMMING!', lat: obj.lat, lng: obj.lng }); });

Great tool!

Having a bit of fun with this - one thing that sticks out to me is how precise the locations are when you zoom in. Kiiiinda creepy. I'd recommend a zoom level similar to Periscope, where you can't see exact locations.

This site should definitely have different servers as messages can be hidden when there are a lot of people online :O

Nice work! The map adds so much value here. Ocean guy is still going strong.
Simone Lucidi
I totally love the idea! Probably there will be some issues in case of thousands of people connected in the same time, but I guess it's just a prototype. Well done!
Crystal Ponti
I can see this being pretty awesome with different verticals and niche 'needs'. For example, a freelance marketplace. Being able to connect with someone where you need them at the moment you need them... Very cool!

Wow only 60 people are online and we already got geopolitical conflicts 😃 But the the idea is great!
