Busy Days, Exciting Progress

Busy Days, Exciting Progress 🚀

It’s been a couple working months, busy and sometimes hard but in the best way possible!

For starters, today the "GD" website went officially online, after we completed its migration from ZOPE to Wordpress and I couldn't be happier 😉

Another thrilling update is with COMMutiny, our social network project. The converse.js anonymous chat, originally set up for @wpn’s support room, has now found its own space within COMMutiny. This is a big step forward, and we’re inviting everyone interested in #XMPP, gaming, and social networks to join the conversation, anonymously or not.

On top of that, we’ve launched a brand-new freelance website, powered by Hugo. It’s sleek, fast, and everything we hoped it would be — hooray for #Hugo!

If you’re passionate about decentralized communication, gaming communities, or just want to connect with like-minded folks, we’d love to see you in COMMutiny! See you soon 👋

Anonymous (Support) WebChat

Happy 2025!

This new year brought a change in our webchat, which is now fully anonymous and auto-connecting to @wpn support room.

I thought the anon support room could be better used by people "interested in/wanting to ask questions about" XMPP and @wpn services, without the need to register an account.

You can still join other local MUCs when in the anon chat, but external, server to server (S2S) connections are denied for anon users, as I mentioned in a previous post. Feel free to test it out and send feedback about your experience.

For the future months, maybe another rather-big change will happen, as I foresee troubles in upgrading Homarr to its new milestone release. Homarr is what @wpn currently uses as its homepage; despite the fact that I quite like it, I'm not sure I want to embark in a complete overhaul, since I already tried importing configuration to the alpha release and it was a major disaster 😟

Wishing You all the best for this New Year! Stay safe!
