Many of us login several times a day, and spend at least several minutes reading and commenting.

Let's set up web/videochats with 1 hr advance warning on topics of interest. Many think this could be very beneficial to this community.

It's a way to get faster, more involved conversation on issues that require more than a forum post to really discuss.

Comment below whether you would prefer text chat or video chat, topics of conversation, and any other ideas

!!! Comment & Upvote if interested and we'll set this up

Setup: Post on Ask HN for a "HN Chat at 8pm EST, Topic: _____"

Platform: tlk.io for textchat or appear.in for videochat?

# per videoroom: 6? 8? 10?

Moderators?

Guest speakers?

Strange - maybe there's a better alternative to tinychat?
