Show HN: IRC style community for remote hackers and founders

I'd rather use IRC. I couldn't even see what kind of site it was without signing up. Sorry, but that's where I bailed.

I nominate slack.com for the most complex sign up/in process in the wolrd

So... it's a slack channel that requires approval?

Yes it's a slack team. Approval is required until I find a way to automate it.

Wait. You need to apply, give all kinds of personal information, then wait for approval before you can even see what it looks like ?

This isn't IRC-style at all :/

Only name and email are required. But yeah, it's only similar to IRC in the sense that it's a chat with channels (it's actually a Slack chat).

sounds sorta interesting, I signed up
