You and a lot of people. For some reason I've been postponing changing the icon to a ZZ or some sort of toggle... But I also want to I plement a day/night mode for the widget. So I've been postponing the first to do both together.

Anyway, the widget does work with dark mode. But then you need to change the site to dark mode.

Yeah, some of those are good ideas. I'll implement them. Thanks for the contribution! (Instead of just say it won't work, heheheh)

That "standard phrases and emoticons" would break the whole idea.

But I guarantee the most of the times, the TownSquare in my site is much calmar and friendlier. People having actually interesting conversations. What you saw was a reflection of the page going FrontPage on HN

That's what o meant. Same persona in Townsquares across various sites. You would recognise me on my site, on your site and John's site.

Well, as I said before. This is usually much calmer. Try coming back some time later, after the Hn spike.

or explore other people's websites that are using Townsquare. Check them out here https://townsquare.cauenapier.com/map

Thaaanks! That's the idea! Fun and meet random people.

The experience is quite different from HN spike....but usually is calmer and friendlier.

I still hope for humanity :) I believe in it! We just neeed to ignore the idiot ones that just want to draw attention to them selves.

Anyway...Right now it's just crowded because of the Hn post. But usually it's much calmer, friendlier and interesting. I've already had a lot of interesting conversation there :)

I swear I have nothing to do with it... :sweat Specially because they get lot's of attention specially when I can't be on the computer and I lose all the fun!

That is actualy giving some interesting ideas. I'm now thinking about permanent identities across websites, as well as some "rooms" where you can enter to have a chat...

I'll need to think this through. I don;t want to overcomplicate the project...Part of charm is the simplicity.

Much more features are coming! Someone pushed a PR for a futball, and I've added cats and custom hats.

I've just finished implementing a telegram plugin to it, so you can get notifications when people are chatting there. :) Reach out if you wanna know more.

This is already sort of implemented. But moderation is a very very difficult problem to be solved and there are different philosophies for it...
