Show HN: Chat Envy - Simple browser based video chat

[jeffpalmer]

I decided to build Chat Envy this weekend to get a feel for the OpenTok API.

Chat Envy is a simple web based video chat platform that allows users to quickly setup a chatroom.

What do you think? Would you use it?

Any feedback is appreciated.

Your homepage_view function doesn't return an HttpResponse object. How do I know that? Because you're in debug mode. You should disable that.

Ouch. Thanks for that, it's disabled now.

- urls are too long

- hit refresh when there is a flash problem, boots me out

- no ability to type messages

- should alert user to turn of flash block

Thanks for the feedback, all good suggestions. URL length is an annoyance for me as well. I will look at passing the identifier in some other manner.

You should promise anonymity like Jitsi.
