#2Hi HN,
I started on a new project called Chatdog (https://chat.dog) to create an alternative to Telegram, et al. Telegram forces you to download their app and provide your phone number to join a room. Chatdog doesn’t require any personal data and can be used pseudonymously or even anonymously!

It's not too bad, but am not a huge fan of it being basically IRC but made fancier under a new name.
I'd love to see a list of additional features!

Thanks for the feedback! This is an early release and there are definitely additional features planned.

No the name just came out of the fun dog icon, which was inspired by Neko Atsume and Big Dogs.
