there's a .cursor directory in there with a rule specifically telling it to not mark generated code as generated. I can't see how that could ever cause any issues /s

    It really looks like every programmer wannabe is trying to bumrush a Discord codeslop for free internet fame points these days!

    yeah agreed. I'm fully in support of an open source discord alternative, it's sorely needed, but expecting to vibe code real time communication tells me exactly which programmers have worked with real time systems before. RTC is not something you vibe code successfully haha.

    I think it'd be better if we stuck with Movim instead, which is already built on a proven scalable and most importantly federated back-end (XMPP), and also already offers text, group audio and video calls, screensharing w/ audio (have to use chromium based browser for now to stream the audio), and even some pretty decent encryption.

    It's our most promising Discord alternative out of many.

    How the hell are you supposed to pronounce this?

    "Great"?

    "Greet"??

    "Grit"???

    "Grite"????

    I don’t know if requiring an S3 bucket really fits the self-hosting ethos

    I'm going to start running these slopware projects through my own AI and open 6000 PRs for "fixes".

  • this is a cool looking project! well done! I like some of the choices that are available, such as the ability to have auto discovery over a local network, and video chat works as well. That's sweet!
