# unchat

Several value-add concepts are married in this nascent application.

## split window separation of chat participants

* your train of thought remains visible after large entries by others

* split size maintenance through window resize

* quick identification of other user without consuming screen real estate

* rapid independent local scrolling of each participants messages

## asynchronous character at a time chat

* watch what your colleague is typing as they are typing it

* be prepared to respond to inquiries more quickly

* have faster and more complete communication

* support for scientific communication/visualization

## wiki markup within the chat

* be able to organize ideas much like mediawiki (wikipedia)

* use graphing, charting, equations, HTML5, and much much more

* swap back and forth between markup and rendering with a single keystroke

* special markup for checklists (progress tracking)

## future developments

* more than two participants

* high security methods to maintain privacy, auditability, non-repudiability

* sandboxing of security risks such as external calls to programs
