This program is a Linux program, and uses some GNU functions (and some other assumptions that are appropriate for UNIX-based systems but not Windows), so will likely require changing it to get it to work on Windows (although it might work on WSL, but I have not tested this).
This project has NNTP, so if you don't like "chatting", then the NNTP can be used, which is more like the email or forum.
- petee 5y agoI mentioned Windows since most linux users at some point have been exposed to compilation, where as windows users aren't likely to even know where to find a compiler. I have never used NNTP, but now im curious to learn some more about it; growing up I had never seen it used, but i think i just missed that age
- zzo38computer 5y agoAbout Windows/Linux I believe you. Nevertheless, there are only a few people on the IRC/Matrix and they have not written anything there (although I have written). About NNTP, there is the RFC documents relating to it, and some NNTP servers. Some are Usenet, although the NNTP server for my project is specific to that project. You can use any NNTP client software to access it (or just operate the protocol directly); some email software can also use NNTP.
