Chat Circles is the 24/7 online party 🎉— Chat with your friends or meet people from around the 🌎world. Messages appear in real-time and then self-destruct!
Hi Product Hunters!
Chat Circles maker here.
I’m super excited to launch our beta on Product Hunt today! Chat Circles was a crazy idea that I dreamed up and decided to build. Here are a couple of things that make it unique:
• It ditches the typical social data feed for a new spatial, synchronous interface. Just like you would go up to and talk to someone at a party you can go up to and chat with someone in a circle.
• Messages self-destruct. When a message disappears from your screen, seconds later it is purged from our servers as well.
• When you join a circle it expands a little. The more people inside, the bigger it will get!
• You can create an account or choose to chat anonymously.
• Encourages more authentic interactions rather than gamifying with likes and followers.
• Notifications will always be opt-out by default.
• It’s free forever and will never serve a single ad.
I’ll be in the “Let’s Chat” circle from now-2am and 8am-12pm PST. Come through and say 👋hi!
(my username is “will”)
P.S. I’ve made a special “secret” circle that I’m only posting the link to here 🤫
This is totally fun, and with a couple more regular users could totally be a place I see myself dropping into regularly. I wonder if, until there are more users, you might want to reduce the number of circles available? It feels like a lot of "empty" rooms. Or maybe have a way of filtering circles with users in them...
@cdypmpr Great to hear you like it! I think a "trending" feature could definitely be really helpful for bringing the best circles to the surface. I agree it feels a bit empty now with so many circles. Hopefully, that won't last long :) I'll see you around!
