Where are the screenshots?? How infuriating is it to go to a project's homepage that has a UI and not see any goddamn screenshots. This is absolutely table stakes if you want me to use your product. edit: Oh haha, the website is literally Fossil. Ok but I wanna see what the chat UI and other stuff looks like.

What web server do you use?
Caddy, though I have used NGINX and HAProxy in the past. I get your point, but those projects have corporate backing and a lot of scrutiny. A niche C project seems less likely to have that.
HI! What it looks like: https://imgur.com/a/PaHExsp Here's Fossil 2.15 running on EC2: http://54.79.202.57/register - this link will allow you to create a new account. Alternatively, the "chat" user (password "chat") can be used if you don't want to make an account.

Because they're cdevs.
I think you mean cdvs, the e is clearly overkill, takes up more bytes on disk, increases compile times and eats up valuable screen real estate! The last one is especially bad, because it will make the code that uses it harder to read.

Also one more extra letter to type for people who can type 100+ words per minute and over an entire day probably only need to type 2 words per minute on average (the rest of the time spent thinking, debugging, reading documentation, being in meetings, etc) :-)
> Fossil chat is not intended as a replacement or competitor for So what is it for? If it's another inbox to check that's a bit of a productivity drain. I could understand if it was explicitly designed to compete with other chat platforms. This would seem to fit with Fossil's mission well.

Not able to login a chat:chat
Realizes people can change the password woops argh
OK. Because Fossil is awesome you can disallow people from changing their own passwords, while also making it possible to create further accounts that can change their own passwords. Nice!
[EDIT: A few misconceptions here. No, you can't do the above; if a user couldn't change their password but could create new admin accounts, said new admin account could just change the initial user pw.]

Too bad it isn't allowed for logged-in anonymous users to chat (though that would be confusing!)
