I'm thinking some kind of ssl irc with a janky web ui on top

Регулярные выражения: как научиться читать между строк
Представьте: нужно проверить документ или веб-страницу и найти повторяющиеся слова, чтобы, скажем, заменить их. А если найти нужно не просто слова, а электронные адреса, которые бывают разными. Решение этой задачи существенно упростит использование регулярных выражений. Регулярные выражения или regex (от англ. regular expression) – это особый синтаксис для описания шаблонов поиска информации. С их помощью можно искать, заменять или извлекать данные из текста с высокой точностью. В основе регулярных выражений лежат символы, которые задают правила для поиска, например, всех цифр или слов, начинающихся на определенную букву. Регулярные выражения позволяют описать сложные условия поиска в простой и читаемой форме, что делает их незаменимыми для различных задач. Регулярные выражения помогут в разных случаях – от валидации данных, например, при проверке форматов номера телефона до анализа текстов: получения ссылок или другой информации. Посмотрим на синтаксис регулярных выражений. Дальше на примерах станет понятнее.

Ah, yes, a chat app that "truly" cares about you—because we all know how much #empathy #software has. 🙄✨ Attach images and mention users? Revolutionary! Welcome to 2005 with sprinkles of "no ads" and "GDPR" to keep you feeling hip and European. 🌍🔒

Basically I use #friendica from #desktop @julien, and due to it's powerful options "under the hood" I recommend to become familiar with that layout too @sirber.
Not sure if #Raccoon is designed exclusively for friendica but I do know that @hankg's #relatica is, apparently there is even some desktop version too.
Actually if I had to choose only one platform as an option for each kind of #fediVerse screenView use case, I'd choose friendica for desktop and mastodon for cellphone every time. #Decentralization calls nearly by default for more than one profile and microblogging is for a handy screen while desktop is for #newsPaper like edition of content. And friendica is a little bit like that.
Your very own #newsPaper site in the internet.
That way your mastodon profile becomes your #chatAPP and your friendica profile on the desktop that follows your #mastodonChatAPP profile gets every conversation pushed into the stream in a brilliant page view to #readTheRoom.
Async Bottom-Up Javascript State Management
https://positive-intentions.com/blog/async-state-management
This investigation comes from my work on a #P2P #ChatApp. I found it tricky in a #FunctionalProgramming approach to handle #Async #Messages from peers needing the latest #State values. The challenge? How #JavaScript scopes variables in #Callbacks.
I wanted to explore a solution out of curiosity to see if it could work. I'm not trying to push "yet another #StateManagement library." This is about my #LearningProcess for use in #PersonalProjects.
