Question - Potential for chat implementation ? #194

Closed HomelabHaven closed 3 weeks ago

HomelabHaven commented 3 weeks ago

Hello there,

first of all I truly appreciate the screego server project as it is the only alternative to discord screen-sharing that is self-hosted and viable in my opinion. Thank you. :)

Out of curiosity: Is a per-room chat implementation planned in the future?

Kind regards

jmattheis commented 3 weeks ago

Glad you like it. It's not planned and really unlikely that it will be implemented. I try to keep screego as simple as possible while satisfying the goal "screen sharing for developers".

Every feature adds complexity that I don't want and there are already projects that support text + voice chat like Jitsi or bigbluebutton. I don't want to compete with them, I just want my screensharing crisp and without latency (:.

Thanks for the sponsoring btw. (:

My pleasure. The sponsoring is well deserved. :)

I totally understand the minimization of complexity which usually ends up in "dependency hell" if you don't write most of the code yourself. A combination of TeamSpeak3 and Screego fulfill all of my communication needs with my friends whilst gaming. ^^

I'll close this issue then, as it's not planned.
