FlameNet Messenger is private and still feels a lot like AIM. People find you by username, your buddy list shows who's online, and messages are end-to-end encrypted. It's on Android, iPhone is in TestFlight, and sign-up is open in nine countries. flamenetmessenger.com/get#Privacy
If you'd rather run your own FlameNet Messenger relay, the server is two containers and a config file. The relay, both apps and the protocol spec are all open source under the MIT licence, and the setup guide walks you through it. flamenetmessenger.com/self-h…#SelfHosted#OpenSource
The Halloween Homepage Jam is open until 31 October. Turn your homepage into a haunted house, a pumpkin patch or a graveyard for old projects, then enter it. Host it anywhere. Entering takes a free FlameNet account. flamenet.io/jam/#Halloween#SmallWeb
You sign up for FlameNet Messenger with a username and a password. It never asks for a phone number. One-to-one messages are end-to-end encrypted by default. Nobody independent has audited it yet. flamenetmessenger.com#Privacy#Encryption
FlameNet (flamenet.io) is a web portal built the way they were around 2001: a hand-sorted web directory, forums, webrings, free HTML homepages, internet radio and a BBS. It has no feed, and it runs no ads or tracking scripts.
Somebody on your team is reconciling spreadsheets at 11pm before the next design review.
They're not doing engineering. They're doing bookkeeping.
We built SMAD Portal so that person could go home. One workspace. Live budgets. Free 30-day pilots — DM me.
