So I am creating a chat server
5 by peppermint_tea | 0 comments on Hacker News.
live demo is here : https://temporary.chat/ the main goals are : - easy to use - can be hosted anywhere - requires no login (except the ones generated automatically) - nothing to install client side (I had to compromise on this one, push notifications on mobile are hell, just get an rss reader and enable notifications!) - have very few outside dependencies. (you can even run it without a domain name!) - something that is secure (security is not a finite state :) ) complete vision is here : https://ift.tt/3rNBy6e how to deploy is here : https://ift.tt/3dcjhLZ you can : - upload documents - destroy the room in one click (everything in there is file based, real "rm -rf" :) ) - post data to it with curl - get all notifications via rss - get a notification via rss only when someone pings you - get desktop notifications (mobile is hard man) and I sprinkled a bit of javascript (no external sources) so your grandmother and your less tech savvy friends can upload a picture/song/video how to deploy is here : https://ift.tt/3rQiDYD and stable code here : https://ift.tt/3tYooFt I posted a few months back, hope it is not considered spammy. I consider posting again in 3 months since it is pretty much a work in progress still! I will concentrate a bit more energy on the api side of things now. any feedback welcome, you can deploy it, attack it, give me constructive bad reviews, I take everything! (you can also use it to post a picture easily to your grandma) enjoy!
