GlobalChat Draw and Crystal-Gchat-Server now available

[jsilver]

My app which uses a Crystal backend is now live on the Mac App Store.

Anyone can install the crystal backend on Linux with

snap install --beta crystal-gchat-server
crystal-gchat-server.change-passwords -i
crystal-gchat-server

Then you can make systemd service files to keep the server running.

If you don’t have a mac, we’re in the process of making a crossplatform mobile client in Dart.

That’s awesome! Is the Crystal part just an API server? Are you using any shards for that, or hand roll all of it?

Thanks

Yes the Crystal part is just the server. I am using three shards, two I made: obscenity-cr (me), Linksafe.cr (me) and Sodium.cr (made by others)
