• Show HN: GodotOS: A Fake Operating System Interface Made in the Godot Engine

  Excellent idea! You'll have a mature, open standard protocol under the hood, with no vendor lock-in, excellent extensibility, and great modern frontends like The Lounge (https://thelounge.chat/) or Convos (https://convos.chat/) to choose from (and you can choose). - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Matrix 2.0: How we’re making Matrix go voom

  For the other layers one can front-end IRC with TheLounge [1][2] or Convos [3][4]. TheLounge only persists history in private mode meaning that users are created in that front-end and chat messages are in Redis. For small networks or groups of friends this is probably fine.

• Simplicity of IRC

  There are web front-ends to IRC that can mitigate message loss without having to run bouncers.
