Nice. A couple of us at G5 are giving it a try. We like the reply feature and left sidebar showing all the rooms.

A few issues: at some point the font size in my reply text field got too small to read. And several times I got the spinning beach ball. I'd like to be able to resize the right-hand column with the names of folks in the room, too.

Overall, though, I'd have to say I like it.

Just shoot me an email and I can send you more feedback from the rest of the team next week.

Yes, we've known (and been enraged by) the font-size changing bug as well. Not sure what the deal is with the beachball you've gotten intermittently, but there are a few updates in the pipe (waiting on App store review process). One of them allows you to resize the left column to your heart's delight, as well as fixing the strange styling issues in the message box when pasting rich-text. After the update, you should no longer be able to inadvertently change the style of text presented in the message box.

It's still relatively early in development, but we're excited for our 1.0 release, and there are a ton of new features in the pipeline! It's built in MacRuby (a very fun experiment!) and uses 37signals' API, as opposed to scraping their web content.

Here's a few promo codes for the first ones to get to the thread :)

Awesome. I'll definitely give this one a spin at the office.
