You might wanna sanitize the room name and username fields.


Will do. I was sure yhere were so.e of those left. Thanks for the hint.


Pretty cool, good job


"Creator" here. :)

Happy to answer any questions if some.


Idea of the service is that one can create a ad-hoc urls and invite friends to chat. No need to register.


Just realized I don't actually have to give my email address- Nice site


I was interested by the title but since there's no information in the actual website, I'm weary of giving my email address- What is this actually about?


Yeah, it does not ask for any information at all. Just decide what you want your place to be called.


I updated the front page text. Any better / clear?


Idea: add SSL and client-side symmetric key cryptography, while not saving the passphrase anywhere.


SSL is on the "short TODO list" (service still in proof of concept stage) so SSL should be implemented/enabled soon.

I need to study more about symmetric key cryptography. Any good hints from where to learn about it the best.

It shouldn't be too hard to find a JS implementation. For instance: https://github.com/mdp/gibberish-aes


Thanks.
