Times like this make me miss the IRC days, I was just able to reproduce a bug in an semi-open-source project, and Discord went down right in the middle of me sending my findings. Now there's nothing I can do about it. I can only wait.

It's not a novel opinion but I'm tired of things being fucked all the time.

I keep second guessing whether or not to mention Uproar here out of fear we'll get roasted, because it's still got its blemishes, but here goes: https://uproar.chat

We're hoping to do better than discord, hopefully you get some use from it!

Backend is written in go, frontend is vanilla html/js/css, TOS and PP are readable in one breath each.

edit: looks like nobody can see this unless it's vouched. I guess because of the link and VPN.
