Gryt-Chat is a self-hosted chat server for text chat, file transfer, voice & video calls and high resolution screen and system audio sharing. This new self-hosted application is a free alternative to Discord.
And open source.
there’s a .cursor directory in there with a rule specifically telling it to not mark generated code as generated. I can’t see how that could ever cause any issues /s
It really looks like every programmer wannabe is trying to bumrush a Discord codeslop for free internet fame points these days!
Btw is it ai slop if I use AI to help me through if I do reviewing and googling and fact checking because I don’t trust it? It is really good as a general knowledge source in my opinion
If you don’t trust it, why use it? It’s still slop in the end, just somewhat less slopified.
Consider: either you are smarter than the tool you use, in which case it doesn’t really offer anything much, or you are dumber than the tool you use, in which case you wouldn’t be qualified to judge its results anyway.
Me opens link expecting vibe-coded slop… and indeed it seems to be vibe-coded slop 🤷
ai;dr
I think it’d be better if we stuck with Movim instead, which is already built on a proven scalable and most importantly federated back-end (XMPP), and also already offers text, group audio and video calls, screensharing w/ audio (have to use chromium based browser for now to stream the audio), and even some pretty decent encryption.
It’s our most promising Discord alternative out of many.
XMPP gang rise up! There are dozens of us!
I don’t know if requiring an S3 bucket really fits the self-hosting ethos
you can host your own S3 storage
How the hell are you supposed to pronounce this?
“Great”?
“Greet”??
“Grit”???
“Grite”???
“Jonathan”

this is a cool looking project! well done! I like some of the choices that are available, such as the ability to have auto discovery over a local network, and video chat works as well. That’s sweet!
I’m going to start running these slopware projects through my own AI and open 6000 PRs for “fixes”.
