What people here don't seem to understand is that with this new technology - and in fact any new technology - for unplanned catastrophe, it doesn't need this new technology to be super competent, but just the involved humans to be

Hi, I'm the Chatto maintainer. What issues did you find with the source code?

I think (but do not have the data to confirm) that - there's not as much of that happening as it _should_ yet - where it does happen, you don't typically notice it (because typically you notice when something is bad, or broken, or

What would make Rust better for this type of app compared to Node?

Hi, Chatto developer here. NATS and its built-in Jetstream stream persistence engine are a miracle. I love them both so much. And if your app is itself written in Go, you can just embed them for simple deployment scenarios (like Chatto does

That still makes it the fastest way. ;-) You can download the binaries from the GitHub release pages.

I love Fluxer! Hampus is cool and what he's built is super impressive. I would say the primary difference is that Chatto doesn't squarely aim for being a _Discord_ alternative. There are no plans for providing a Discord-compatible

Both are planned, but ETA is uncertain unfortunately.

Still figuring out the numbers, so very hard to answer at the moment. Chatto is quite lightweight though; a fresh instance will run at tens of MB of RAM usage. RAM usage then scales with activity and CCU; on the Chatto HQ server, I'm c

There are plans for making individual rooms public, allowing unauthenticated users to access them (or allowing crawlers to index the content), but so far those plans do not include any sort of write access.

Chatto does have full SSO support (OIDC and some selected providers like Google, GitHub, and, ironically, Discord, with more coming in the next releases.)

In terms of inspiration and also the market that I want to go after with Chatto Cloud, this is definitely aiming to be an alternative to Slack, Teams, Mattermost et al. I've tried to make it friendly and casual enough to _also_ work as

Yes, Chatto's core system does not use e2ee. This is by design; if there ever are e2ee features -- and chances are good they will, in some shape -- the encryption will be layered on top of that (encrypted message payloads and such.)

Sadly I don't even think 50 communities exist at this point! :-P

Each Chatto server by design is entirely isolated, including user accounts. But I'm aware that having to email-signup on every server you want to hang out in would eventually be too annoying. I'm exploring some lightweight identit

You can self-host Chatto with zero limitations without having to pay me.

I'm assuming you're talking about Apple Push Notification Service. Chatto so far commits to a fully fleshed out PWA experience. Push Notifications are delivered through Web Push (and Apple's Declarative Web Push additions). W

Yeah, Chatto should be relatively straight forward to use in "headless mode". I've seen a few users working on integrating it into their own applications as a chat backend.

Chatto currently commits to providing a strong PWA experience that also works great on mobile (including full support for voice and video calls, push notifications, the works.) I am aware though that a lot of people would prefer an app that

The onboarding experience for newly created servers isn't ideal at the moment, that is correct. It's early days and I will work on improving this.

Different users (operators of Chatto servers) will have different requirements for this, so it's pretty much "configurable" in the sense that eg. a business that's hosting a Chatto server for their employees can disable

Hi, I'm making Chatto! Chatto so far fully commits to providing a great PWA experience. The screenshot you're seeing is of the PWA. I'm aware that a lot of people want desktop and mobile apps. These will be coming at some poi
