Woah! This is a really cool home-cooked app :)
Having a way to use discord that doesn’t require an electron desktop app is v. nice.
Wow. Discord is also terrible privacy wise. Hmm…
It’s very cool that they added the features that they need exactly. Also PHP architecture :))
“PHP islands” architecture is what my reading list is. Glad it has a name.
Hahahaha yes polling is terribleeeee. “WebSockets” is the thing to look up.
Yes, I agree — “Build the MVP (minimum viable product) in a mad dash, then slowly improve it over time.”
My takeaways
- This was quite a nice validation on the way I do these sorts of projects.
- I wish I could do frontend stuff.
- Ahhh, so “PHP islands” is what my thing is called. Cool!
- Alternative is a single API endpoint with built in route handling.
Questions

As fun as this is, I don’t think it’s right for me. I like being able to talk to lots of people too much. I’d rather use whatsapp or matrix than discord tho. Discord will probably die in a few years tho tbh.
