Devzat

Where are the devs at? Devzat!

Devzat is chat over SSH. Because there's SSH apps literally on all platforms, even your phone, you can connect to Devzat on any device!

Usage

Try it out:

ssh devzat.hackclub.com

If you're under a firewall, you can still join on port 443:

ssh devzat.hackclub.com -p 443

If you add this to ~/.ssh/config:

Host chat
    HostName devzat.hackclub.com

You'll be able to join with just:

ssh chat

We also have a Slack bridge! If you're on the Hack Club Slack, check out the #ssh-chat-bridge channel!

Help

Welcome to Devzat! Devzat is chat over SSH: github.com/quackduck/devzat
Because there's SSH apps on all platforms, even on mobile, you can join from anywhere.

Interesting features:
• Many, many commands. Run /commands.
• Rooms! Run /room to see all rooms and use /room #foo to join a new room.
• Markdown support! Tables, headers, italics and everything. Just use \n in place of newlines.
• Code syntax highlighting. Use Markdown fences to send code. Run /example-code to see an example.
• Direct messages! Send a DM using =user <msg>.
• Timezone support, use /tz Continent/City to set your timezone.
• Built in Tic Tac Toe and Hangman! Run /tic or /hang <word> to start new games.
• Emoji replacements! :rocket: => 🚀  (like on Slack and Discord)

For replacing newlines, I often use bulkseotools.com/add-remove-line-breaks.php.
