Came across this on the r/selfhosted community. Still very much in the alpha stages, but it's already got a Docker image you can try out for yourself, or try out the demo server.

Tried it earlier today, couldn't get the voice/video chat to work right away on my self-hosted setup but the real-time chat was very snappy. Looks promising.

Your hostility confuses me. I'm not a node dev.

I skimmed some of the server files and didn't see the normal vibe coded slop I normally see in other languages and was genuinely curious what you saw.

Thank you for your examples.

    It's okay. I've got a few side projects in node and I also don't see anything too out of the ordinary here. If anything this looks more like someone's first project with some "make it work" rather than being perfect and pretty.

    I don't understand the hostility. Even the bits that this guy talks about (duplicated code?) nothing looked duplicated - sure the names of the folders are the same but that's more of a naming convention problem when you have a client that needs to connect to servers (or in this case has screens and functionality to connect to servers).

    And now I've probably spent more time and brainpower on this than I should have just because I was confused.

    Then why if you aren't familiar would you make a comment you didn't see anything?

    Do you randomly walk into other people's jobs with zero proficiency and speak to how they're doing at it?
