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.
