Is this working now? I logged on and can't do anything and nothing seems to be happening, i just get a snippet of text starting "38m earlier"
Same for me, I'm guessing it's hugged from all the YC traffic.

#22What 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.
Discord is one of the most popular chat platforms. Imagine IRC, but more modern and the developers actually care about UX.
LOL @ the developers caring about UX. I can't count how many times I tried to find some functionality only to have to google how to do it.

But unfortunately it is highly censored. And if you're part of any community that is banned, your account is banned as well. It happens often. Something I experienced, as a former member of a nootropics server.
I don't find the service very trustworthy, but I think that if you're a gamer, it may work out just fine for you.

#24> It's like discord but in the terminal, over SSH
so it's IRC?

#25After 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 authentic…
I don't think it wouldn't be hard, since there isn't really much auth (just some key and IP stuff), so you'd mainly have to add your own. Feel free to email me (my email's on my github) with updates / questions if you do decide to try it out!

#26I like it. A few observations: * Hangman doesn't give you credit for all instances of a letter when you guess it * Starting a new game of hangman (maybe also TTT?) interrupts/erases the previous one, if there's one in progress * Images can be anything and aren't filtered - troll users could present some nasty stuff * User settings don't persist (e.g., nickname)
sixel appears to be too large... it would be better if it made small outputs
sixel is super experimental

#28Looks cool, joined and made friends with a french dude. Totally forgot how cool irc-like minimalism can be sometimes.
Thanks lol, that makes me smile

#29Lots 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!
Everyone seeing output is an intentional choice. What's the problem with images?

#30Love the fact that there are currently more people on the server than likes on this post :D You might wanna take a look at https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea ad specifically https://github.com/charmbracelet/soft-serve for v2. IRC style commands that are only sent to the sender would also be nice as current version is a bit spammy with help and user commands.
idk if i wanna make this a TUI tbh, i've seen those libs before. I don't think they support output to an io.Writer / term.Terminal though
