Are you good at making friends yourself? This fake empathy "I understand you" then ignoring their view is quiet alienating. People have been giving you realistic feedback in this thread (Virus Cafe is a terrible name and seems hyperfocused on a trend that is on its way out) and you've just been blowing them off.

Uhh... this is a side project I whipped together for fun. I'm not blowing anyone off by staying true to my goals with the project. I've responded to feedback by adding an "Extend for 2 minutes" button this morning and I'm working on more right now.

Really nice work, this is impressive and important.

I do wish the text chat function only group of people was there. Maybe a future a/b test :)

I’m not really sure why this is important? What’s to keep this from spiraling out of control, and taken over by trolls? What will this look like once it expands beyond the HN audience? This is a chat roulette clone, we’re all remember how that turned out. Sorry for being cynical, but if I were the author, I would be terrified of legal consequences if people start posting nudity or possibly illegal acts.

Agree that it’s worth trying out!

Alright,chill out.
