i love it, the "draw" section is a bit small.

I added two new features that are in beta. They're hidden at first. You have to click the empty space at the very bottom of the page. Then a new panel will popup. Here's what you can do:
1. Extended Characters. I added a panel of cute symbols (like the snowman, etc.), accented Latin, and math(s) symbols. Just click on one to add it to your message.
2. Privacy. I added the ability for very rudimentary encryption. It's just a thin deterrent so don't be naive, but it's fine for just normal private conversation. I tried to code it in a way that other people can write bookmarklets to extend and improve the functionality if that seems desirable.
The way it works is you paste in a long text into the encryption field. Anyone who has the *exact* same text in their encryption field will be able to decode your text correctly. Otherwise it will just be gibberish. Now in an ideal world this encryption field text would be completely random (rather than say... English where you could do character frequency analysis, etc.) and you would generate new random text for each message you wanted to send. If that sounds clumsy... That used to be how all sigint had to operate!

I think ♔ is working on his masterpiece. I have the window open but don't dare to post and mess up his work. Lurking under the name "i ❤ yr drawings" for the moment.
Also... wow am I sleep deprived. Maybe I'm dreaming...

Scarabin and Crown (aka Mr. Anonymous) have been dropping gems in the chat room. Tons of exquisite corpse drawings. Worth a look. My drawings? Not so worth a look :p

Some anonymous person made a ton of beautiful drawings in the Spooky room last night: http://chatttr.com/spooky
And s/he drew some in the main room as well: http://chatttr.com
If you want to see it check it out soon. Screen grab. Print to PDF. Because things only stick around for 24 hours or 100 posts, whichever comes first.

Trying to get in the Halloween mood... But it requires more people. And more spooky stories. Trying to move discussion into a "spooky" room then...

very neat, can I have a room please,
preferably a penthouse,thknx
- just make onemonospaced
- Sorry... penthouses are a bit larger than I can handle ;) But rooms? http://chatttr.com/G…stewdio
- stewdio0
@monospaced Also I didn't want to list the active rooms until I could make rooms "locked" to outsiders somehow. This way if your room's URL is unlisted it's sort of private. Not full-proof private of course! But I'm working on solving that as well...
I've been using Chatttr for some quick online client meetings. I just create a room by sharing a random URL like http://chatttr.com/ourGroupMeeti… and then I can quickly go over details with collaborators in NY and a client in Germany. No sign ins. And sometimes hand sketches can be very helpful and much more efficient than text descriptions. It doesn't replace Skype conferences, etc. but Chatttr is still very young and growing ;)
- dude, I could be using your service to do the same...monospaced
- stewdio0
Minor update: I didn't like having to include the word "room" in the URL when accessing a separate chat room. So I fixed it ;) You can make new rooms now like this:
http://chatttr.com/QBN
http://chatttr.com/occupy
http://chatttr.com/NSFWAnd so on. I've got a long list of bug fixes and features to add. Those have to wait until I've cleared a few big client deadlines. But this rooms things was a quick fix. (And I think an enjoyable one if you're a bit OCD about URL aesthetics.)
- +1 but how do I know what rooms are active? or, is the mystery part of the fun?monospaced
- For now keeping rooms "private" as stop-gap measure for spam. Might change that when "vote to ban" works...stewdio

cmd Z > yeah!

Sorry about that. I was coding and updating later at night than I should have been. Drawing works again. I found a weird bug with "undo" that requires you to hit it a lot of times. Will look into that one later post coffee.
- and... just as a suggestion in light of recent shit... http://chatttr.com/r…stewdio

Anyone know who the "anonymous" (004-000-176) guy / gal is with the JS skills? They've obviously got some code skills—and a sense of humor. But they're being coy: http://chatttr.com
I love the spiral.
