chatless

A connectionless, RESTful chat api.

What is chatless?

  • It's birch, except we're starting by doing chat and implementing everything on top of that.
  • A giant distributed truck that you can just dump things on.
  • The social network system for the paranoid on the go.

Why?

  • It should be easy to participate in encrypted chat while switching between mobile and full clients.
  • And anyway, why should you need blogs or email or forums or chatrooms?
  • Just use chatless.

What does it do?

  • tells the client "deal with encryption yourself, jackass!"
  • allows you to create, join, and send messages to topics.
  • also lets you watch what other users do (and send them requests).
  • collects events for clients to query, and also forward those events to other servers.
