What Hacker News says
4 sourcesShow HN: ssh late.sh - a cozy command-line Clubhouse for computer people
So first, what are we? A Clubhouse inside the terminal, where people can take a break, chill, chat with others all around the globe, listen to music, play some games, or paint on a live artboard :).
ssh late.sh (or use the companion CLI)
That's all. No passwords. No OAuth. No accounts. Your SSH key is your identity.
Honestly, I've been a little nervous to post this. I wanted the Clubhouse to be something I'm genuinely proud of before sharing, and I think we are finally there :)
There is so much here, so I'll really try to focus on the core:
- full-scale chat, mentions, rooms, public and private, DMs, reactions, image previews, full-quality images, icon picker, anything you need
- music, hop into the YouTube booth (WebView using wry) to listen to the community playlist, submit, vote, skip, or listen to 600+ server tracks divided into three
Read the rest
categories (lofi, ambient, classical)
- games, single and multiplayer, sudoku, minesweeper, tetris, snake, nonograms, poker, blackjack, chess, and much more. Leaderboards and badges! First truly server-wide game is in the PR!
- live artboard, think r/place but in a TUI, draw, paint, or just enjoy. Daily and Monthly snapshots, check them out here: https://late.sh/gallery
- shop, buy a new fully-dynamic bonsai to take care of, or maybe a new aquarium, fill it with ASCII fish, or what about a new pet to play with? Quests, daily and weekly + streaks to help you win more chips
- news, rss/atom feeds, connect your own, share with others, auto-generated summaries with a nice ASCII thumbnail shared globally
- directories, a dedicated space to showcase your projects, another to build your "work" profile, and it all rolls up into your live web profile: https://late.sh/profiles (someone has already been hired thx to it!), and another one for co-op tools, right now a canvas builder inside the TUI
- and the NEWEST addition, VOICE chat :) without a browser!
This has already grown into a team effort. Amazing people, amazing contributions, amazing vibe.
Big ones in the pipeline: more BBS/full-scale server, real-time games :)
Hop in, take a break and enjoy ;)
