Fluid is a real-time, one-to-one, text-based chat application. 'Real-time' means you'll see what the other user is typing when they message you, and visa-versa.
The enter application is presented as a single input box in the center of the browser, and prompts from the application are literally typed into that box.
The user can initiate a chat with another remote user by sharing a unique URL. The application will prompt the user if they're happy to chat with the remote user before allowing messages to flow between the two users.
