What would make Rust better for this type of app compared to Node?

Hi, Chatto developer here. NATS and its built-in Jetstream stream persistence engine are a miracle. I love them both so much. And if your app is itself written in Go, you can just …

That still makes it the fastest way. ;-) You can download the binaries from the GitHub release pages.

I love Fluxer! Hampus is cool and what he's built is super impressive. I would say the primary difference is that Chatto doesn't squarely aim for being a _Discord_ alternative. The…

Both are planned, but ETA is uncertain unfortunately.

Still figuring out the numbers, so very hard to answer at the moment. Chatto is quite lightweight though; a fresh instance will run at tens of MB of RAM usage. RAM usage then scale…

Thank you!

There are plans for making individual rooms public, allowing unauthenticated users to access them (or allowing crawlers to index the content), but so far those plans do not include…

Chatto does have full SSO support (OIDC and some selected providers like Google, GitHub, and, ironically, Discord, with more coming in the next releases.)

In terms of inspiration and also the market that I want to go after with Chatto Cloud, this is definitely aiming to be an alternative to Slack, Teams, Mattermost et al. I've tried …

Where we're going, we don't need search engine rankings!

Yes, Chatto's core system does not use e2ee. This is by design; if there ever are e2ee features -- and chances are good they will, in some shape -- the encryption will be layered o…

Sadly I don't even think 50 communities exist at this point! :-P

Each Chatto server by design is entirely isolated, including user accounts. But I'm aware that having to email-signup on every server you want to hang out in would eventually be to…

You can self-host Chatto with zero limitations without having to pay me.

I'm assuming you're talking about Apple Push Notification Service. Chatto so far commits to a fully fleshed out PWA experience. Push Notifications are delivered through Web Push (a…

Yeah, Chatto should be relatively straight forward to use in "headless mode". I've seen a few users working on integrating it into their own applications as a chat backend.

Chatto currently commits to providing a strong PWA experience that also works great on mobile (including full support for voice and video calls, push notifications, the works.) I a…

The onboarding experience for newly created servers isn't ideal at the moment, that is correct. It's early days and I will work on improving this.

Different users (operators of Chatto servers) will have different requirements for this, so it's pretty much "configurable" in the sense that eg. a business that's hosting a Chatto…

Hi, I'm making Chatto! Chatto so far fully commits to providing a great PWA experience. The screenshot you're seeing is of the PWA. I'm aware that a lot of people want desktop and …
