I made a site just like this http://yamr.net to be able to group chat with friends/family/co-workers and not have them install anything (can go to yamr.net/any-room-name)

It's pretty cool seeing your site and what you decided to do differently. I'll be checking out your source later when I have time.

Mine is also built with php/node and I added socket.io so I could take advantage of websockets. I auto-log in users and keep chat history (although right now it only shows the latest 30 messages)

If you're looking to implement any features I have (like chat history) PM me and I'll share how I did it
