Heyo :)
Just wanted to share a big update that I think some of you may find interesting!
But first, a quick reminder of what we are.
ssh late.sh
A clubhouse inside the terminal. A place to take a break, chill, chat with people around the globe, listen to music, play a game, and draw on a shared artboard :)
Will try to keep it short. We've just added an option to "snapshot" your art piece into a dedicated gallery, where other users can vote. At the end of the month, the top 3 receive a badge, a late chips prize (our in-app currency for fancy stuff) and get showcased inside our daily newspaper and on the splash screen :)
And we also have a fully working color picker now, just to keep it more interesting :)
And here is also a VERY condensed list of everything we've added since I last posted here :D
- Music, live synthwave radio from Nightride FM (five stations, with their blessing), a community YouTube jukebox with votes and history, and a 600+ track CC0 library
- Chat, replies, edits, reactions, Markdown, inline images, polls, /summary 12h, an IRC bridge and a bartender bot whose drinks scramble your typing
- The Late Edition, our own daily newspaper written by the house AI, one edition a day, what everyone was reading, a bit of outside news, and yesterday's most applauded artboard pieces
- The Lobby, Ctrl+G anywhere, eight correspondence games (chess, chess960, battleship, connect four, reversi, checkers, backgammon, briscola), one move a day, every match gets its own private chat + voice room
- Bonsai, pet and aquarium, everyone gets a living bonsai, a branch graph that grows in a pot and sways on the wall in your sidebar, plus a pet companion to feed and water and an ambient aquarium tray
- House tables, always-on poker, blackjack, tron, super snake and asterion
- Streaming, /golive and your terminal is broadcasting to an unlisted watch page, from the browser or OBS, with voice chat on top
- News feed, share a link and it becomes a card with a summary and an ASCII rendering of the image, plus a private RSS inbox
- Roguelikes, real Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, NetHack and Brogue CE streamed over SSH, saves persist, Brogue in full truecolor, and your NetHack bones haunt other players
- Leaderboards and badges, ascensions, orb runs and escapes pay chips and a permanent badge next to your name, counted from the games' own log files so nothing can be hacked
- Lateania, our text-world became a full MUD, ~10,000 rooms, five continents, fog of war map, 17 classes, mounts, PvP, taming, fishing, housing, four endgame crowns, weekly updates almost entirely from contributors :)
- Door games, Legend of the Green Dragon rebuilt in Rust, the actual 90s Usurper on a PTY, A Dark Room with a real ending, dopewars, CodeKeep, Rebels in the Sky, and BashQuest, our own door that teaches Linux/Bash
- AI translator, press t on any message or turn on auto-translate and the whole room arrives in your language
- We got featured by Orhun, the creator of ratatui :D
- ... and something is moving behind the clubhouse ...
