spectrum

Not exactly chat, but I thought Spectrum [1] was far better than Discourse as a modern, "open" forum. Then it got acquired by GitHub in 2018, presumably integrated into the main product, and their separate offering disappeared from the web (taking lots of valuable discussion with them).

We were using Slate at Spectrum[0] back in 2017/2018, eventually switched to DraftJS due to cross-browser issues but that was honestly equally frustrating to use and support across many browsers. In hindsight, we should've just had a GitHub-style markdown editor: https://mxstbr.com/thoughts/tech-choice-regrets-at-spectrum It sounds like the situation has improved since then! I'll definitely try Tiptap if I ever need to build another RTE. [0]: https://github.com/withspectrum/spectrum

Hey HN, When I built my last startup, Spectrum, we spent months building custom caching for our GraphQL API from scratch. It never worked well enough to alleviate our scaling troubles as we could only cache data for unauthenticated users since we had no invalidation. (since we open sourced it all before GitHub acquired us, you can even read through my terrible code[0]) When Tim told me he had built a prototype of a CDN specifically for caching GraphQL query results with proper invalidation, my first thought was: "Finally!" Not only had he made it possible to cache POST requests (which GraphQL requests usually are), he had made it possible to purge cached query results per specific GraphQL object. For example, when a user edits their name the API can call a purgeUser(id: $ID) mutation and any cached query result that contains that user's d

That does make a lot of sense. I suppose the barrier to entry is a lot lower with Discord. To answer your question it's just a web app so it works on any platform. [1] The author talked a while ago how he regretted not building it with react-native-web.

I have found reading code is a good way for me to improve my skills. I am looking at Mattermost[1] and Spectrum[2] to improve my React.js. What open-source projects are you currently looking at? [1] https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-webapp [2] https://github.com/withspectrum/spectrum

I've been enjoying reading Spectrum's codebase[0]. It's very simple, with little documentation you can understand pretty much what is going on and in the architecture level, is as simple as it needs. The first time I tried to open a PR, I was up and running my feature in a few minutes. Small summary of the features I liked: - Simple documentation - Intuitive structure - Lots of JS best practices, but still simple - Event-driven architecture - A simple API gateway that will just fire events to workers - Properly divided workers (kind of microservices but with lots of shared code) - Monorepo It recently been bought by GitHub(1) and was discussed here(2). The author has talked in his blog about some decisions he took wrong. Super interesting post(2). 0. https://github.com/withspectrum/spectrum 1.https://spectrum.chat/spectrum/general/spectru

There is a big "download all my data" button right on your profile page, which instantly gives you a nice JSON dump. As for "custom proprietary protocols", the entire Spectrum platform appears to be FOSS, released under the BSD 3-Clause license [1]. 1: https://github.com/withspectrum/spectrum

Seem like you can host your own spectrum service now? https://github.com/withspectrum/spectrum

I quite often take a look at the code of Spectrum: https://github.com/withspectrum/spectrum. It's my go-to (with https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso) to get an idea of how they solved a particular issue in their React app. I'm really thankful to them for open sourcing their product. I wish more companies would go this way. Anyway, congratz to Max (also author of Styled Components) and the rest of the team!

I like Spectrum for both their architecture and code quality. Node.js/JavaScript. https://github.com/withspectrum/spectrum Https://spectrum.chat

Another threaded slack alternative I've found enjoyable is Spectrum. (https://spectrum.chat) They've recently open sourced as well, (https://github.com/withspectrum/spectrum). Their design is appealing, and I can see a lot of work being done on the platform. Not affiliated or anything, just a fan. P.S: I'm trying to create a community for "Bored Hackers", and you can check it out here and say hi! (https://spectrum.chat/boredhackers)
