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.
Surely we should instead use cdv, in case there's only one of them in a row. And boom, 25% space savings from that little change!
So they built their own chat room feature? I feel that's a bit short-sighted, but I'll admit I'm only a random opinionated passer-by. You can certainly do it, but you'll run quickly into issues and be buried in feature requests because like it or not, a chat room isn't just "a couple messages being passed back and forth" Hand rolling your own communication tool is a great way to become so busy you don't have time for…
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. [It used to have the ability to create additional users (with admin privs), with the result that the fossil instance rapidly began spouting SQL errors an…
Maybe: Go to the Setup/Access page and select the "Allow users to register themselves" checkbox, and add permission "C" to "Default privileges". Then press Apply. With that setup change, users will have a "Create New Account" button on the login page.
Does anyone use Fossil? I'm considering it for my personal projects. I like all it offers for the relatively low resource usage. The only use of it I've seen in the wild is Ripcord ( https://dev.cancel.fm/issues ), which is interestingly also relatively low resource usage compared to its competitor.
I avoid it because of complete lack of commit amendment tools. It seems like quarter of the time I make a commit I mess up either a commit message or a file list, and have to "git amend". I have no idea how the sqlite devs live without the feature, they must be much more careful programmers than I am.

Fossil is offline. You sync up when connected and then you have code, issues, wiki, chat that work offline, and sync when connected again. It's not an instant messenger, more like a mail box or a bulletin board. Which works when network is down.

Thanks for the demo server, exikyut. Maybe: Go to the Setup/Access page and select the "Allow users to register themselves" checkbox, and add permission "C" to "Default privileges". Then press Apply. With that setup change, users will have a "Create New Account" button on the login page.
Done, that's a really cool feature.

Fossil looks very interesting, but I completely disagree with their [stance on rebasing]( https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/rebaseharm.md ). This is a dealbreaker for me. I do not consider having 10 buggy commits per feature instead of 1 working one an advantage. It just complicates reading history and hinders debugging (e.g. bisect). I get their arguments, I just disagree.
This is what private branches are for - when you merge them and sync they show up as a single commit on the mainline branch - not too different from git merge --squash.

Most Fossil projects are on the smaller (smallest?) side, apart from 2-3 outliers. They certainly don't have a dedicated IM channel, and they certainly don't need it... except when they do. I could see this as a useful feature when you need to chat with contributors once in a while in a less-formal way than issue comments.

Some seems to have changed the password already :/ Too bad it isn't allowed for logged-in anonymous users to chat (though that would be confusing!)
