Show HN: Review GabHere.com

I've been working on this "weekend project" in free moments for the past week or so. It's basically a chat room that uses GeoLocation so match you up with people around you. It isn't anywhere near done, but I thought people might want to try it out. What do you all think?

I'm not really a fan of using Google/Facebook/Twitter for logins. I don't imagine your site really revolves around ensuring people use a real identity.

How about you just let people enter a username and start using the app?

Thanks. That sounds like a good idea. I could probably allow either unverified nick or verified google id, and render the names slightly differently in the chat log.

The login has now been changed so that you can start chatting without logging in with Google. Again, thanks for the tip.
