# What is Freechat
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Freechat is my attempt at creating a chatting platform with developers in mind.
|
||
|
|
It's built with the idea that a chat interface shouldn't be difficult to
|
||
|
|
understand and thus adopts an API that (in my eyes) makes sense.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Project's Status
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The old code base was pretty close to unmaintainable after a certain point
|
||
|
|
so I'm basically throwing it all out in favor of building on a framework
|
||
|
|
that doesn't blow.
|
||
|
|
Where before I was only only Hyper.rs, I'm moving the server logic to Rocket.rs.
|
||
|
|
For now the roadmap looks something like this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Rebuild endpoints
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Why build this at all?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I'm 100% sick of using Discord, not just as a user but as a maintainer of a
|
||
|
|
few communities and bots. There is a huge reliance on Discord for communicating
|
||
|
|
and it's getting to the point where if it failed for some reason there would be
|
||
|
|
basically no where to go to.
