interesting! I'm in the process of designing the `/commands` functionality, a dice roll would be easy enough to implement I guess :)

i don't know what any of that means but it sounds interesting! tell me more :)

Client is Flutter. Backend is in NodeJS with Firebase handling auth, db, real-time updates etc. Voice chat and such is LiveKit via SDKs. Cursor as IDE with Claude as AI-companion.

that's a really interesting take on self-hosting, you've given me a lot of food-for-tought here, thank you. I now have a subreddit setup for this project at https://www.reddit.com/r/mollyconsole/ if you wanna keep tabs on changes (or just install and come say hi in MOLLYCORP crew)

thx!

haha, you're onto me with material design (which I really dislike), because it's built into Flutter, which I'm using for this, in a lot of places. BIGCORPO is onto us ;)

thx. i'm a huge proponent of privacy as well. right now there's nothing to that end, but e2ee is on the (huge) todo list. it's gonna take a while since it's a big undertaking, but it's gonna happen.

thx! it's not open-source, but you can get awesome inspiration and UI elements from here: https://www.figma.com/design/OVz4DoinEzP2Rj5pnNY15A/%E2%8F%B...

(not mine, just something i found and use a lot for inspo)

thx for the pepp, appreciate it <3

pepp: swedish word to "encourage, hype up"

thx <3 it's definitely inspired by many such things :) check out the early alpha here: https://molly-da7e3.web.app/

haha, nice catch! working on image uploads and other stuff.

thx for commenting, appreciate it <3

thxxxxx! there's an embryo of a product (super-early alpha) here: https://molly-da7e3.web.app/

<3 thx! check out the alpha and let me know what ya think :)

thx <3 you're in for a treat, there's an alpha version out, check out my other root comment for link :)

thx for the kind words!

to your (awesome) questions: right now it's centrally managed. it's just easier to build this way and use existing services. i use own apis, firebase and livekit.

at some point i'd LOVE to work on this full-time and live off of it, that's my end-goal.

everything is doable, but it would/will take work, but i wouldn't mind creating a self-hosted version for the 4 of you that really really want that ;)

dont give me ideas i dont have time for right now! ;)

hej everyone, thx for the awesome feedback! :D you can download an early alpha, lots of issues, but i'm fixing them and adding cool stuff as fast as i can :) Download here: https://molly-da7e3.web.app/

(macos is signed, windows is not, waiting for MS to approve me for certificates, dont download unsigned binaries from internet strangers...i'm nice tho)

TL;DR: programs today are effing boring. Need more cyberpunk in my life

After spending all my money on creating a community platform no-one wanted, in a style that I thought would fit most people (but didn't particularly enjoy myself, too vanilla), I got tired and decided to create something I've wanted in my daily life since I read Neuromancer the first time 20yrs ago.

This is what I'm working on. It's early, like really early, but it's a f*cking JOY to work on and use already! Right now I'm trying to move my friends over from Discord to this, but if there is interest in a voice/text chat app for a broader mass of ppl, I'd love to make a real product out of it and do this for a living!

What ya think? Sushi-style feedback welcome (raw and fresh).

Cheers, b0bben
