Lots of fun, but the issue with the images (is this the problem?) needs to be fixed. And the command issue where everyone sees the output - I wonder how hard that would be to address. Neat app!

#12What is discord? Yes, I’ve heard of the company, but haven’t used it. You might do better with “chat” as more folks know what that is.
I still remember when Discord was primarily a voice chat (later, with screen sharing features too), essentially a replacement for TeamSpeak/Mumble/Ventrilo, not IRC or XMPP MUC.
Looks like those days it's more of a Slack/Gitter/IRC alternative.

#13I just get "Permission denied (publickey)". The README says to just run ssh-keygen, but I already have an RSA key. Does this server only support ed25519 or something?
I think you are correct. Was able to get in by first doing `ssh-keygen -t ed25519` to create new private/public keys (be careful not to overwrite ssh keys that you are already using for other things!). RSA support is being phased out in various places.

#14I really dig this, but if I issue a command like cd, the output should only be showed to the person who issued the command.
but this is really fun! nice job!

#15I really like it, it seems like a great alternative to slack for a team that just wants non-notification chat

#16After living through Google Chat going down while handling a server incident at work, I created an internal, encrypted chat system in order to have an alternative in case our regular communications channel is down.
However the actual chat part of it is very barebones with a simplistic JSON-based protocol and a simplistic IRC-like interface - quite unlike devzat.
I wonder how hard it would be to untangle the authentication and transport bits from devzat and plug in our own proprietary auth/transport.

Discord is one of the most popular chat platforms. Imagine IRC, but more modern and the developers actually care about UX.

I struggle to use Discord precisely because of the UX. and I say that with years of IRCing in a terminal with a black background. I vastly prefer Slack's theme.
Discord's dark & light themes are too hard on my eyes. They feel like the designers have never worked on a 13" MBP and only large monitors w/ non-retina displays.

#19make sure one's ssh-agent forwarding is off when connecting to strange hosts :)
