guess we're back to "move fast and break things"

Great idea! We'll look into doing this in the future.

I believe you got this from gitter.im - that is a very similar idea (likely a ripoff of ours) which is nothing more than a concept and design. We build a rough working prototype.

We've been getting lots of traffic so this is caused by the GitHub rate limit being exceeded. Try again soon!

Hopefully we can negotiate a way to be whitelisted by GitHub so these issues do not occur.

We definitely plan on getting a domain once the hackathon is over and we have some time to relax and really plan this out :)

As I mentioned earlier, you have nothing to worry about - we don't touch your repos! Unfortunately the read permissions we need are classified as "write" (or at least we couldn't find a way to specify them as "read" in our very limited time).

Once everything settles down we are going to think about ways to make it easier for people to use and trust the service so that they don't need to worry about permissions or anything like that.

Thanks so much for your input, we'll definitely take it into account!

Thanks, we think so too!

Don't worry - we don't touch your repos! Unfortunately the read permissions we need are classified as "write" (or at least we couldn't find a way to specify them as "read" in our very limited time).

IRC doesn't have the same level of deep integration with GitHub and ease-of-use that Hub has.
