1st Devlog - Bot-Focused Chatroom - First Steps
I am building a chatroom / IM service that empowers developers and hackers (as in people who create something) to quickly and easily create a “bot” on this platform to connect and control their creations. Currently, I believe that developing, for example, a Discord or Slack bot is too complicated. You have to go through various steps to make sure, say, your bot can do a very specific thing. I want this platform to enable people to effectively realize their ideas with minimal steps to go through.
So far, I have:
- Added a basic account system, consisting of
- An account page
- A login page
- An account creation page
- Made progress towards email authentication
- Figured out a relatively simple theme to use, with light and dark modes.
- Figured out hosting and the platforms and tools I am using
- Svelte on Cloudflare Pages for the frontend
- Cloudflare workers with Rust via WASM for the backend
The roadmap for the near future is to:
- Fully implement email-based authentication
- Add basic chatroom / IM functionality, with different channels/rooms
- Think of a good name for the service
Long term, I plan to: (chronologically ordered) - Add bot accounts
- Make APIs for popular languages
- Add client-side command help configured by the bots
- Make APIs for less common applications such as embedded systems
- Profile customizations
