I got distracted from my work so I made some Continuwuity propaganda. Continuwuity is a lightweights Matrix chat server that you can self-host pretty easily. Give it a try :3

    I’m trying so hard not to hate this post but you have given me so many reasons to

    • use of UwU in something I absolutely need to share with others

    • mismatched fonts

    • comic something font

    • no human readable data next to the QR code

    • mismatched gradient radii in the corners

    Make it stop 😭

      The project is the “official community continuation of the conduwuit homeserver”. Conduwuit was a popular matrix backend until the project was archived.

      Although interestingly, conduwuit says the official continuation is Tuwunel. interesting

        It is primarily sponsored by the government of Switzerland 🇨🇭 where it is currently deployed for citizens.

        Now this, I like!

        Github, not so much

        I’ve been using Tuwunnel since Conduwuit ceased developpment and I haven’t been able to find a reason to switch to Continuwuity yet.

      Everything there (aside from perhaps not printing the full URL under the QR code) is deliberate and a part of the ‘brand’. Roboto + Sour Gummy for the fonts, asymmetry, whimsy. If you don’t like it, I’m sure you can use Element’s Synapse and you’ll be able to talk to people using Continuwuity just fine. That’s kind of the point.

      It’s purely a backend, what’s under the hood is not really visible to matrix clients.

      Edit: Though I wish this graphic communicated that more, just realized it doesn’t even say anything about [matrix].

        The problem is “cuteness” is very much in the eye of the beholder for things like this, and I’m with neatchee here, it’s not cute, and it makes it basically unshareable, and hence unusable in a lot of contexts. I appreciate the effort that’s gone into the project, but the name and publicity massively detract from that.

          Considering that it’s a fork of conduwuit, continuwuity is a pretty fitting name, UwU 😺

          You don’t need to share any server technology names, just that it’s the Matrix protocol or “platform”, or even just “Element” if they are using that app. I don’t tell other matrix users they are on a Synapse server.

          Only the host needs to know about the server app name, and is the only one who interacts with it directly.
