Criticism is good thing. It even helps me to see my product clearly)

So let's see 1. Taku is not just a chat popup window. You don't talk with only one user at a time. You have constant connection with all users. 2,3. Notifications won't be always on screen. Only when there is a new message. And yeah I'm thinking about enabling "Mute" for users who don't want to be annoyed)

> You don't talk with only one user at a time. You have constant connection with all users.

Can you expand on that? What specifically is different from (say) intercom?

Well with intercom you can send one message to all users. And then one user can't participate in discussion with everyone.

You can also send polls to everyone and everyone can see the results which makes people more engaged.

DMs are not available to everyone, you decide who can have access to direct chat with you

Ah, "users can talk to other users". Interesting idea, I look forward to other people trying it out and reporting back :-)
if you dont include a mute, i will boycott every single website that uses your product.
Lol, fair point. But first I need to make people use it)
It's a good idea and fills a needed niche. Don't let the haters get to you.
Thanks man
Dude it’s called a troll box and they’re classic. Wish more sites had them. Wouldn’t get bogged down with the doubt here.
you dont need to make people do anything.
