Live as of a few minutes ago is sup-chat: a site for text-only, public group chats

Think something like IRC or old-school AOL without the hassle

Codebase will be shared soon as well! Backend written in Go with HTML templates on the frontend.

Appears to be broken, there are no rooms and the 'create' functionality leads to a 404.

Yes thank you for looking! Didn't realize the websocket proxy wasn't configured. Should be up in a few minutes!

Isn't this just IRC with The Lounge?

Not familiar with this, but in general sup-chat isn't an IRC client!

It's vulnerable to XSS.

:facepalm: I had changed it from textContent to innerHTML when supporting line breaks...

Fixed!
