# Natter

### It's a chat app.

Features:

* Full rich text editing, with emoji and images

* [Avastars][]: the best default avatar images around, procedurally generated based on your username

* Paste a link to automatically embed videos from YouTube, Vimeo, and other sites, audio from SoundCloud, and even code fiddles like CodePen and JSFiddle

* Drag and drop anything anywhere, e.g. image to avatar, image/audio/video/other file to chat or to a user

* Easily send feedback (via chat; but don't worry you won't have to "friend"/"unfriend" Feedback or anything)

* Pick emoji from a dynamic interactive map with axes representing emotional factors, instead of just a grid

* Upload custom emoji/gifs easily for personal use

* Use drawing mode to send handwritten messages and pictures

* Insert emoji in drawing mode and position, rotate, flip and scale them

Design goals:

* Deep user expressivity: to communicate with others, the user needs to be able to communicate with the app

* Simplicity: easy to get started, easy to use

### Status

The app has been defunct for a long time, but I've started remaking it.

Everything is to be rewritten, this time using [Firebase][], [CoffeeScript][], [React][] and [Draft.js][].

[Firebase]: https://www.firebase.com/

[CoffeeScript]: http://coffeescript.org/

[React]: https://facebook.github.io/react/

[Draft.js]: https://facebook.github.io/draft-js/

[Avastars]: https://rawgit.com/1j01/natter/master/app/components.html
