Show HN: Qonvo – a group chat that turns conversations into live maps

https://qonvo.xyz
1•digi_wares•7h ago
Hi HN,

Most group chats end up as endless scroll. Once a discussion gets interesting, context disappears, replies cross, and ideas get lost.

I built Qonvo as an experiment in a different direction: a realtime group chat where each message becomes a node, and replies create connections, so the conversation grows into a live visual map instead of a timeline.

How it works:

- Share a room link (no accounts) - Chat with 2 or more people - Messages appear instantly as nodes - Replying creates visible links - Shared #tags lightly connect related ideas - You can click any node to explore that part of the discussion

Rooms are temporary and auto-expire

You can export the conversation as JSON

There’s no AI trying to “understand” the conversation- the structure comes directly from how people reply and interact.

This started as a personal frustration with brainstorming and group discussions that feel rich in the moment but impossible to revisit later.

Curious whether this feels useful, distracting, or somewhere in between. Would love feedback on:

- whether the map actually helps thinking - what kinds of conversations this works best for - where it breaks down

Live demo: https://qonvo.xyz

Happy to answer questions and explain the architecture if useful.
