Chat System

I got fed up with the various social media chat systems. Slack, Discord, Ryver, etc. They offer very limited text styling, inflexible display formats, poor (and slow ) support, and of course, corporate eyeballs always looking over our shoulders, shoving ads at us, restricting speech and participation, demanding fees, breaking this and that with "upgrades", etc.

Having had enough, I spent some time (about a month of spare-time effort) and wrote my own.

My system is, perhaps most importantly, surveillance-, nannying-, and ad-free. It offers a decent set of features. The usual ones as well as some goodies I'd always wanted in a social media engine. Here's a quick summary of some of the high points:

  • Text posts (of course)
  • Private messages
  • Switchable audio notifications
  • Scalable font display for low-vision users
  • Comprehensive text styling (fonts, colors, emphasis, etc.)
  • GIFs
  • JPEGs
  • PNGs
  • MP3s
  • MP4s
  • Giphy
  • EMOJIs
  • Quoting
  • Linking
  • IMDB-ing
  • ISFDB author lookup
  • Google-ing (image)
  • Google-ing (text)
  • YouTube-ing
  • Dictionary lookups
  • Date calculations
  • Bulleted lists
  • Numbered lists
  • User variables
  • Notification blocks
  • Image library
  • File library with media players, downloader, etc.
  • Spoilers
  • Code fencing
  • Post previewer
  • Message search
  • Comprehensive user's guide
