> SSH based chat is not super popular which really surprises me. I could see devzat being an amazing fall-back for a private chat inside a company when Slack or Discord are having a moment or for those times when people want to say something that isn't recorded forever and especially not visible to their management. I think it would also be amazing for people in oppressive regimes that block access to all the mainstream chat platforms but allow SSH to specific VPS providers.
:))))) I'm glad you like devzat. I'd love to talk to you on the main chat!
Devzat supports a "private" mode in which only some IDs you specify in the config file are allowed to join. In that mode, it disables the 16 message backlog on #main too. It seems like that would be a good option for you, but it looks like you're having the people you know gen new SSH keys every time (which is what IDs are based on). I'm curious why.
Would you have liked a standalone preference for whether to have a backlog? What features would you like / what things could be improved?
Always interesting to see how devzat is being used.
Done! https://github.com/quackduck/devzat/commit/00160b83751d90176...
