Instant Map Chat - Chat with people in real-time on a Google Map

This is cool, although given the anonymity and anonymity trolling comes up pretty quickly, along with nice things :)

Ha its quite interesting. Everyone is anonymous but you see where their comments come from. I'm sure when 10+ people are actively commenting it can become unbearable.

If I can't say anything without it getting lost in the spam, no one can... socket.on('chat message', function(obj){ socket.emit('chat message', { msgtext: 'STOP SPAMMING!', lat: obj.lat, lng: obj.lng }); });

Hi there, and thanks a ton for submitting the chat to Product Hunt! :) The fun thing though, is that we started coding it this sunday, and today it´s here. Future plans are at the moment really simple, just as we want the experience of this thing to be; 1) Make history of last 100 (or something) chat lines appear when you first enter. 2) Allow image posts. 3) Allow (optional) nickname. We´ll see how that goes. Any suggestions are welcome, by the way! :)

This is what it looks like when 80 people across the world are having a conversation:

Wow only 60 people are online and we already got geopolitical conflicts 😃 But the the idea is great!

Cool idea, but guys you should definitely go on topics chat and filters by zone or topic for example , otherwise too many noise and nothing intresting to read as a feed ;-) can be much cooler and useful , lovely idea +1

I can see this being pretty awesome with different verticals and niche 'needs'. For example, a freelance marketplace. Being able to connect with someone where you need them at the moment you need them... Very cool!

Great tool!

Ha, this is fun. "Ocean Guy is Back" was a highlight!

Good thing

Annnnnd it's dead. 502 at approx 20 users!

I totally love the idea! Probably there will be some issues in case of thousands of people connected in the same time, but I guess it's just a prototype. Well done!

Wow this is super fun!

Nice idea, I can see many usefull uses, maybe need to filter out some contents?

There must be a way to silence some countries. Great idea.

I was expecting that I would click on a country and chat with someone there... That could be interesting

Puh my productivity went down. So addictive...

Nice work! The map adds so much value here. Ocean guy is still going strong.

This site should definitely have different servers as messages can be hidden when there are a lot of people online :O
