Hi HN community, I launched MooChat a couple months ago and since then I kept iterating. I'd appreciate if you could share me your comments on this new version. More specifically:

Does the home page explains what it is? Is it interesting to you?

Thanks!

Simple and clean with proper message.

Does it look at words used while chatting?

Otherwise it you have to "go into" them manually, then they are just like IRC channels, right?

You have to "go into" a MooCode. Indeed it's like IRC channels. The difference is that there is no action to create a channel. Any words can be associated with a chat room.

Just downloaded (Moto X 2014, 5.1)

-Open app, and it stays on splash screen (Blue, w/ logo) -Force Stopping, etc does nothing to get it working.

Thanks for reporting bugs! I don't have a MotoX 2014, but will test it in emulator. It looks your account is new. Much appreciated!
