Natter

It's a chat app.

Features:

  • Full rich text editing, with emoji and images
  • Avastars: the best default avatar images around, procedurally generated based on your username
  • Paste a link to automatically embed videos from YouTube, Vimeo, and other sites, audio from SoundCloud, and even code fiddles like CodePen and JSFiddle
  • Drag and drop anything anywhere, e.g. image to avatar, image/audio/video/other file to chat or to a user
  • Easily send feedback (via chat; but don't worry you won't have to "friend"/"unfriend" Feedback or anything)
  • Pick emoji from a dynamic interactive map with axes representing emotional factors, instead of just a grid
  • Upload custom emoji/gifs easily for personal use
  • Use drawing mode to send handwritten messages and pictures
  • Insert emoji in drawing mode and position, rotate, flip and scale them

Design goals:

  • Deep user expressivity: to communicate with others, the user needs to be able to communicate with the app
  • Simplicity: easy to get started, easy to use

Status

The app has been defunct for a long time, but I've started remaking it.

Everything is to be rewritten, this time using Firebase, CoffeeScript, React and Draft.js.
