Show HN: Open-Source Fully Featured Scalable Chat App (FFS Chat)
- stevenicr 5y agoscanned through, looks nicer than I expected. I see nothing about moderating / handling the various abuse things.. I'm always looking for better chat systems, so far matrix (+ element or fluffy or whatever) is the best for my use case / publicly facing chat. Perhaps a feature comparison with matrix / ffs chat would make it easier to decide to try or not.
- thisisjofrank 5y agoThats a great idea, we'll definitely get some feature comparisons up. Re moderation/profanity filtering etc we're definitely planning on bringing that in with future work. I'll get a board of future work up and write up some issues to make it clearer what is planned. Thank you so much for taking a look!
- yodon 5y agoHaving spent time this week looking at open source chat packages this is a wonderful surprise. I realize your focus is on the messaging, auth, Storage, etc., but I'm betting adding a screenshot of the UI to the readme.md would significantly increase adoption of the project.
- thisisjofrank 5y agoOh this is a great idea, thank you!
- itake 5y agoJW, have you seen any self-hosted anonymous, no registration, e2e encrypted, ephemeral messaging tools? Bonus points for mobile apps that prevent screen caps. I'd love a Bring-Your-Own-Network with above features that doesn't require SMS, email, etc. registration that "private" apps like Signal, Telegram, Whatsapp, etc have to growth hack to mainstream adoption.
- tlackemann 5y agoThis uses a proprietary service as the "scalable chat app" part. I can't help but think that calling this an "open-source [..] scalable chat app" is somewhat misleading.
