Anologue: A Case Study
In rediscovering IRC to connect with fellow developers in various open source projects over the last few years, the folks at Analogue realized how simple and invaluable a tool it is; especially for multiple people discussing a particular topic. They wanted to bring the benefits of the format (linear discussions), to other areas of life that could be made web accessible without the hurdle of third party scripts, plugins and even registration that other, perhaps similar, solutions included.
Initial goal: enable any number of people to view a web page that would serve as a sort of chat-room. Generate a link, share it with whomever you’d like to participate in the dialogue, type your name and text to add to the conversation. Simplicity was important in all aspects to get up and running quickly.
