Interesting UI - needs better topic discovery, maybe track popular/active/trending topics. Realtime search feed is cool but prone to griefing. Maybe hide scrollbars when not in use?

Its an interesting take on topic chat. The trolls will ruin it for a while (you can already see some of this) but the base idea is cool.

this is great. ambitious, yes, but it's well put together, very little friction which is always good.

keep the spam in control (i already see someone going Roxbury with the topics) and I can't see it not being sticky.

broken on iPhone which only surprised me because since it's already so modular i just assumed it to be mobile ready :P

I'm confused on the benefits? How does it connect me with people? Is it just a giant chat room?

It's admittedly ambitious, but the focus of Luunr is to work in the opposite direction of current social media/networks.

Start with interests, then talk, and people that mutually respect one another can start to work on something (and perhaps become friends).

The internet is huge with hundreds of millions of people online at any given time. Your set of potential collaborators and discussions shouldn't be limited to the few people you're already friends with. :)

+1 for thinking outside of the box in terms of UI for chat/social interacting website, but other than that, there's nothing there of any substance.

Really nice UI and design. I'm on the site and there isn't really anything to do though!
