As a huge @ginatrapani fan since the Lifehacker days, always love to see new projects she's working on. Love the design, testing to follow! Nice work Gina!

@alexlazarevic Hey thank you for your kind words! The whole team at Postlight gets credit for this one (I merely cheered them on and dogfooded a bit).

I'm not sure about using the tool for team collaboration but design looks lovely and productive. Just liked the ptoduct and your vision. Probably, we need a specific use case to use YAP but do not know what it is :D

Ahey
I quite didn't understand the use case here. Can someone explain where we can use this service?

@vsnthv see the article linked above. Here’s an excerpt with an analogy to IRL activity: ‘There shouldn’t be a log, because it’s not a chat room. Who needs a chat log? It’s about the moment. Imagine rolling into a pub during a Liverpool/Man City game and asking the group: “Hey could you guys share what you really enjoyed saying to one another for the past 15 minutes? I’d love to catch up!”‘

This currently has no way to curtail the (very likely) use of it for organized harassment (no means of reporting a chat for promoting potentially inflammatory content). Is this by design, ?Makers?

@jackyalcine This is meant to intro you to the design firm. Content marketing. Maybe they get findings and improve it, maybe they do something else.

@armand That didn't answer the question at all. Unless this is an affirmative to something that _should_ be concerned in offline situations (harassment) wasn't concerned for something that's meant to lightly mirror it.

@jackyalcine This is a valid concern, for sure. Because we don't track any content being populated within a given room, we don't have any way of moderating what people post. We did include the ability for room creators to block individual members of a room, but if a bad egg is in the admin seat, it's up to the viewer or yapper to leave the discussion.

This is really cool. It would also be really useful if this is hooked to a Twitter hashtag where many are using it to organize chats, which are often almost impossible to track... Also, I don't get why social media by default saves AND allows anyone to access your posts go back forever, that's just not how human communication naturally work.
