You might wanna sanitize the room name and username fields.

Will do. I was sure yhere were so.e of those left. Thanks for the hint.
"Creator" here. :)

Happy to answer any questions if some.

Idea of the service is that one can create a ad-hoc urls and invite friends to chat. No need to register.
Just realized I don't actually have to give my email address- Nice site
I was interested by the title but since there's no information in the actual website, I'm weary of giving my email address- What is this actually about?
Yeah, it does not ask for any information at all. Just decide what you want your place to be called.
I updated the front page text. Any better / clear?
Idea: add SSL and client-side symmetric key cryptography, while not saving the passphrase anywhere.
SSL is on the "short TODO list" (service still in proof of concept stage) so SSL should be implemented/enabled soon.

I need to study more about symmetric key cryptography. Any good hints from where to learn about it the best.

It shouldn't be too hard to find a JS implementation. For instance: https://github.com/mdp/gibberish-aes

Thanks.
Pretty cool, good job
