a chat app that has more feature parity with Discord than any other project, yet:

• was supposedly built over the course of five years but commit history was squashed a couple months ago so there’s no way to verify
• was built entirely by one 22yo who hasn’t yet graduated university
• has confirmed LLM usage
• already has a monetization plan very similar to Discord and has raised 300k in one-time funding on hype alone

all this to say, it’s still an incredibly impressive piece of software, but the sus vibes are warranted

if you dual boot, something that helped my transition was intentionally adding friction where I wanted to try something new. For example, set your default boot OS to your Linux distro, that way you have to make the choice to intentionally select Windows every time you need it

This reminds me of another open source AI agent called Goose that connects to multiple models/providers.
