This is a very simple, very tiny, public chat service.
It provides little in the way of security or privacy, its just a way for people to share short messages with each other.
It was originally written for webOS users, but could be used for other retro devices as well.
There's also a discord bot that can be integrated with it to share messages to-and-from a discord server: https://github.com/codepoet80/simplechat-discordbot

php-gd is required. On Linux, do something like:
imagecreatefromjpeg -
Some functions depend on PHP file_get_contents to read the input. Ensure its enabled: https://www.php.net/manual/en/filesystem.configuration.php#ini.allow-url-fopen
- If its enabled and you still have problems with things like "likes" check to make sure you're not redirecting from HTTP to HTTPS, which does not preserve the post content. If you prefer to use HTTPS, ensure the client is configured not to attempt HTTP.
