@prologic@twtxt.net i think groupchats however, will be a clusterf*ck to implement, but for that you would use another thing instead, ;P

@novaburst@twt.nfld.uk This salty-msgbus-chat is just a toy, it’s not very serious. It was literally written in ~5mins when I realised I could whack something together with the salty cli I just wrote and my existing msgbus pub/sub system, client and tiny amount of shell 😂

So discounting the pre-existing msgbus I wrote years ago and use to this day for all my pub/sub needs.

This little tiny ass stupid and gawd awful little chat system that is fully e2e encrypted, weights in at around ~200 lines of Go and ~20 lines of Shell 😅

What boxes have we ticked:

• [x] No stupid ports to open
  
• [x] Self Hosted
  
• [x] Decentralised
  
• [x] e2e Encrypted
  
• [x] Simple to stand up
  
• [x] Simple to operate
  
• [ ] Easy to use (UX) FAIL
  

I guess we still have some work to do 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net how does the UI “look” at the moment?
