I've been busy. Thoughts? |

I'll have a look at this in the morning, sounds awesome though! I've been a bit busy too: https://hypermind.gg |
Oh snap! Gonna test the chat in a bit |
|
That chat is stylish!! I'd like for the chat to open up like the map in #9 having an icon next to it, once either of these is merged I can work to make sure they both can be used in tandem without UI issues ❤️ |
| if (wasNew) { | ||
| this.diagnostics.increment("newPeersAdded"); | ||
| this.broadcastCallback(); | ||
| if (ENABLE_CHAT && this.chatSystemFn && hops === 0) { |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
You could make the hops configurable too
that's awesome, good snag! |
|
Yeah, that map is a cool idea as well. Feel free to move anything around as needed. Cluttering the ui is the last thing we need. Big number go up = main feature lol |
|
ok @lklynet shall we merge the map first, then we can use the same modal system to enable the chat too, this way we don't re-invent the wheel twice. I really REALLY want to make the modals draggable so people can put them wherever they want on screen - bit like what I did a few years back with https://year-book.club (open any window) |
Yeah, that plan sounds solid. I'm going to be away from the computer for the rest of the weekend so it's in your hands lol. Good luck! |
- Enhance footer and debug element styling with better visibility - Increase map modal size and adjust marker appearance - Persist chat collapse state in localStorage and initialize on load
map updates heatmap without refresh
this would introduce a new, opt-in feature that turns the existing peer rotation logic into a unique chat experience.
So here is how it should work: Instead of a global chat, users can only communicate with their ~32 direct peer connections. Because the network topology constantly rotates to prevent islands, these connections change every ~30 seconds. This creates a chaotic, ephemeral chat room where users are constantly entering and leaving.
Ephemeral: No database and no history. Everything vanishes on refresh.
Restricted: Communication is strictly limited to current direct peers.
Anonymous: Users are identified by the last 4 characters of their Node ID.
Uses existing TCP sockets so no new ports or servers required.
Inbound Rate Limiting: Peers drop messages if they exceed 5 msgs / 10 sec.
Outbound Rate Limiting: UI prevents sending if limit is reached.
dentity Verification: Sender ID must match the socket's authenticated Peer ID.
Content Validation: Max 140 chars, string only.
Feature will be disabled by default. Enabled with ENABLE_CHAT=true .
Anyone want to double check this and make sure I'm not missing anything.
