Ragechat is a real time chat application, including rage faces as emoticons and markdown support!
Uses Pusher’s managed websocket layer, and therefore may not work over SOCKS proxies.

therazorbladeIt’s a pretty basic chat system. The rage faces show up too big and don’t really add much to the conversation experience. | |||
You can’t please some people! Thanks for the vote though. This is more aimed at people who like rage faces, and isn’t a technical entry :)
therazorbladeWhat, no giving me a rage face back? :–)
If the focus is on the selection of rage faces, I would expect the overall visual design to be more in line with that theme.
We decided on a more minimal theme as time was running short, and we were all very tired. After the competition we are planning a great deal more improvements, you’re welcome to come and critique as we’re improving :D
Also:

therazorbladeJust for that I upped your completeness stars.
It’s well done ! But unfortunately it’s a chat … (I mean : that’s the classic thing to show up what Socket.io is capable of !) | |||
It’s not based on socket.io though :)
It’s based on pusher pipe!
Oh ! Interesting … (TODO : must learn to read …) I should consider using it for my next project.

christkvAwesome tech demo of node.js but not particularly innovative. But A really cool beginners project if they open the source. | |||
The source is open, but I wouldn’t suggest they learn from it as-is just yet.
It’s a reasonable real time chat implementation screaming for some design love. The ragefaces are an interesting quirk but ultimately don’t add a lot over a more standard emoticon set. | |||
Love troll faces, they still aren’t old to me. Though I think if you could have made race comics from chat antics, that would have been even more awesome. Like markdown support, even if I didn’t use it much. | |||

chinacceleratorI hope there is a special “LULZ” price awarded, you would definitely win :–) So I’ve put max on Utility/Fun, which is not very common but since you combined both (a chat… that is fun), what else could I do? In terms of design this is relatively sober and I wish there would be more rage pictures with a categorization that makes sense (or maybe doesn’t). It’s not super duper innovative but still new and well done, everything works. I wish I could click on people and get the @mark ready, also registering the captcha makes all data disappear if you get it wrong (always) and there is no oauth. Anyway, fun and everyone should waste 5 minutes of their lives “raging”. | |||
Well done guys. You managed to get it pretty complete in the end! | |||
Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. The UI could use a little bit more polishing though…
