Show HN: Together, a no-signup chat and universal comment/discussion tool (beta)

https://www.together.lol/
5•blake8086•8h ago
Hi HN,

For years I’ve missed the feeling of an always-on chatroom without the silos and social overhead of Discord. So I built Together: a single-room, no-signup group chat that you join with one click. No channels, no rules (yet), no onboarding flow. Everyone lands in the same place and can start talking in under a second.

Why I made it

- Forums and blog comments are great but slow; Discord/Slack feel heavy for casual drop-ins if you aren’t already a member of a community.

- I wanted the simplest possible space where ~100 people could idle, share shower thoughts, and keep the conversation rolling.

- I’m cautiously (naively?) optimistic that a friction-free room can stay civil and interesting without much structure.

Bonus features

- Universal comments: Share any (mostly any) web page link and view it inside the site, with a live comment section.

- Inline comments: Add your comment within the page, and others can join the discussion.

- Share your commentary After you’ve added all your clever snark to some blog post, share with your friends so they can all see how smart you are!

- No sign-up needed: Just start reading, chatting, and commenting. Pick a username if you want.

Looking for feedback on:

1. What would make you leave the tab open all day?

2. Is the UX confusing in any way?

I’ll be in the chat (and here in the comments) all day fixing bugs and answering questions.

Welp, had to take it down. I'll be back later.

This actually sounds great! Any chance you might open source it so it would be self-hostable?

An interesting idea!
