A New Kind of Chat Room
I’ve developed an application that reimagines chat rooms by integrating them with a world map. Each user can claim a rectangular piece of land on the map, referred to as a "banner." Users within close proximity are grouped into a chat room by the app. The banner’s size can expand or shrink based on the density of users in the area and the number of coins in the user’s account. Key Features: Real-World Interaction Model: Users are pseudo-anonymous, akin to real-world interactions. Coin balance determines user size and visibility ("stature"), while endorsements and other activities form a…

ChatGPT UI for rabbit holes2024 · delve.a9.io · ▲766I was inspired by the way ChatGPT writes bullet lists, then invites you to "delve" deeper. This is an interface that reifies that rabbit-holing process into a tiling layout. The model is instructed to output hyperlink-prompts when it mentions something you might want to delve into. Lots of features to add (sessions, sharing, navigation, highlight-to-delve, images, ...). Would love to hear other usecases and ideas!
- IBI built a non-linear UI for ChatGPT2024 · grafychat.com · ▲459
Hi HN, I built this out of frustration of the evergrowing list of AI models and features to try and to fit my workflow. The visual approach clicks for me so i went with it, it provides more freedom and control of the outcome, because predictable results and increased productivity is what I’m after when using conversational AI. The app is packed with features, my most used are prompt library, voice input and text search, narration is useful too. The app is local-first and works right in the browser, no sign up needed and it's absolutely free to try. BYOAK – bring your own API Keys. Let me…

I build ChatGPT-2D with the idea to enable people to branch AI conversations interactively, pose contextual questions based on AI response and visualize your entire dialogue on a 2 dimensional map interface. What do you think?
- GCGis.chat – a Geospatial Community2023 · gis.chat · ▲86
Hi folks! I'm excited to show you gis.chat, a geospatial chat platform in both senses: a platform about geospatial topics and a geospatial platform itself, referencing the location of our communities. The setup is fairly simple and reproducible: a plain Zulip instance and a homepage with geospatial search capabilities. It seems almost trivial but it has some very nice features. I guess you should be familiar with Zulips stream/topic model to follow along (https://zulip.com/help/streams-and-topics). The core idea is that there are city-specific streams (currently…
- NPNew project for on-demand chat rooms2014 · urshoutbox.com · ▲37
I created a pet project to see if it is of use and interesting to people. The idea is on-demand real-time chat rooms for trending topics and for personal use. You can go to the main page at www.urshoutbox.com to create your own room then share it across your social networks/email, etc. I created a hacker news specific "shoutbox" at http://www.urshoutbox.com/bLmYAL/hacker-news . If nobody is in there, please be patient and (I hope) people will join soon to start talking. The idea is to have trending topics on facebook/twitter/etc and have chat rooms to get…
