Chatttr is a transient forum for chatting and drawing—no login required.
It’s a young hobby project so expect things to change occasionally.

Welcome. The Internet’s public parks have been replaced by private gardens. Private gardens that harvest your personal data, sell it to advertisers, and hand it over at the drop of a hat. Well, it’s silly to think we’re going to fix that—and we definitely won’t fix it with a silly chat site. But we do what we can. Each room’s history here is limited to twenty-four hours or one hundred posts, which ever comes first. And the archives are continuously recycled so if you like something take screen grabs because it won’t stick around long. |
|
Rooms |
You can create a new chat room on the fly just by browsing to a new URL for it.
For example, if you wanted to start a room called “awesome” you’d just use the following URL:
http://chatttr.com/awesome. It’s that easy.
|
Drawing |
Chatttr’s vector drawing is powered by Paper.js.
In addition to mouse (or finger) drawing and editing the following key commands are supported:
Select all: ⌘A.
Copy, Paste, Cut: ⌘C, ⌘V, ⌘X.
Deselect all: Escape.
Scale: + and -.
Rotate: < and >.
Move: arrow keys.
|
Text styles |
Chatttr allows basic HTML formatting tags like
strong (or b),
em (or i),
underline,
subscript,
superscript,
code,
and |
User Color |
Your color’s hue is automatically assigned based on your longitude. (Works about 90% of the time.)
The western most nations are red, shifting into orange and then into yellow / green near the Prime Meridian.
Then the hues shift into blue and purple at the far east of the globe.
In theory if Chatttr’s users were evenly distributed around the world we’d see the overall hue of each room shift throughout the day.

Encryption |
Think of the encryption provided in the configuration drawer as a mild deterrent rather than a fortress.
Read more about the proper use of One Time Pads.
If you’re handy with JavaScript have a look at the SC.crypt{} object.
How might you improve it? Make a bookmarklet of it?
