pouët.net

then again maybe i'd better shut up because as a non-developer i can't really fathom how much time and effort it would take in reality so yeah

Let me elaborate a bit more on this: the idea for SceneID is to provide a set of services that are generally annoying to implement and can kickstart more projects, and/or aid existing projects (like Demozoo) with features where the annoying/intricate parts are taken care of: user registration is typically one of these, and PMs are another, and there's probably a few more that I didn't think of yet. The idea is always to look ahead and on a bigger picture rather than causing sites to reimplement the same feature a thousand times.

In terms of complication, I don't think it is, especially because 1) based on numbers Pouet is outnumbering other sites in SceneID users with an order of magnitude, so whatever Pouet does is pretty much the standard and 2) most of the same concerns of privacy/encryption/UX wouldn't go away if it would be a Pouet-local feature.

got it and sorry

Indeed.
Maybe an optional email field on the profile could make sense?

I tend to put my email in public in every forum/site, but I just realized it was not on pouet since, well, no really incentive to do so.

i'd be comfortable with that ONLY IF that field would be available to logged-in users only :)

let's use diaspora!

First I ever heard of either, tbh. I'm guessing that widespread adoption would have to be pushed by a significant body in the scene. Off the top of my head I can only really think of Pouet or Revision that would fit the "significant enough" category.

I think a demoscene slack would be awesome, amongst other things because I can't be fucked with connecting to irc on my phone. I have tried a couple of times, but it's just too much hassle. Also, I want my notifications, simple sharing from other apps, embedded media, sharing files (no, DCC is not a usable alternative) and so on.
Slack basically provides every irc feature I care about, on every platform I use.

And even though a lot of people is still on irc, the ratio of "there, but idle" clients are ever increasing (including mine).

Actually some additional optional contact information fields would help already, no?

someone should bring lively back with the virtual Breakpoint room!

well, we can open a sandbox game (like garry's mod) room instead :D

After all those years of slack and discord usage, i switched back to mibbit irc and guess what these casual talks are best.

Let's set up a Second Life/Singularity cyberspace thingy so we can finally spend our glöps on virtual furniture!

There's also always the option of Telegram, of course.

That discord link is invalid. So is there a pouet or general Demoscene discord now?

irc is not a group chat?

what is the problem?

how about chatting via scrollers in prods? might help to decelerate these hectic times ;)

I missed this thread I think, but FYI I'm one of the founders of TalkJS. The express purpose of our product is making it super easy to add DM chats and small group chats to sites and apps. It includes a customizable UI, full email/sms/push notification system, message persistence, and a proper developer-friendly JS SDK.

In full disclosure: Our support for large slack/twitch/discord style group chats is currently lacking, but if the good folks running SceneID and the connected sites would like a SceneID-based direct messaging system than I'd be glad to sponsor an unlimited-usage TalkJS account. Plugging it in there should be a matter of hours, at most.

Gargaj, or whoever else is involved: contact me at egbert at our domain name if interested.

There is no point in aimless chatter, it’s better to write a demo

skrebbel: I'm pretty sure a link (or webirc thingy) to #revision or #pouet.net on IRCnet is more effective

IRC is the greatest, says 1995-me

Yeah. But I agree on the "sucks on mobile device" comment...

https://discord.gg/MCDXrrB should still work.

Sure thing, and I'm all good with that :-) TBH I don't think I'd use either feature much. All I want to say is, should Gargaj & co decide that Pouet and/or SceneID needs a nice DM feature than we're happy to help power it, and save lots of dev time that would probably be better spent on more piledrivers. :-)

I think pouet need some new boobs. I don't like to see my own anymore.

wtf i did not wrote that!
