April 2024 release of Corny Chat

馃尳 Corny Chat is an open source audio space built on Jam that integrates Nostr and Lightning. A publicly running instance of Corny Chat is accessible at https://cornychat.com. The following enhancements were made during April 2024.

Upstream Jam changes have been ported into the codebase through 2024-03-26 with exception to some layout changes for Room, Navigation, Avatar. Corny Chat modifications are NOT pushed upstream to Jam as there are significant deviations in layout overall and some constraints in backend/pantry changes.

  • Server now requires build number matches or else connections are dropped
  • With upstream changes ported from Jam, backend can now support individual HLS streams per speaker if enabled

UI

  • Improved messaging to user if a room name request is too short
  • Fixed bug where rooms weren't initialized as private
  • Fixed room nostr profiles to save description in about field of metadata
  • Added ability for room owners/mods to edit link and slide metadata
