Sharkord - an open-source self-hostable Discord alternative with voice, video, and real-time messaging.

6 months ago by recklessengagement to c/selfhosted

Privacy-first, self-hosted real-time chat platform. Own your data, control your conversations.

Came across this on the r/selfhosted community. Still very much in the alpha stages, but it's already got a Docker image you can try out for yourself, or try out the demo server.

Tried it earlier today, couldn't get the voice/video chat to work right away on my self-hosted setup but the real-time chat was very snappy. Looks promising.

I took a look. Didn't seem vibe coded to me. Is there a specific area you looked at that looks vibe coded?

Here's a very simple list of issues that any Node dev would immediately say is generated and has not been cleaned up:

package.json
knip (check that tab usage)
WILDLY fucking stupid Dockerfile
What directory am I in here??? Note the dupe code because whatever shit tool lost track
What in the absolute fuck?

I mean I can keep going, but if you even glanced at this and didn't IMMEDIATELY get it, you are bad at your job.

Edit: This one is fucking hilarous

Your hostility confuses me. I'm not a node dev.

I skimmed some of the server files and didn't see the normal vibe coded slop I normally see in other languages and was genuinely curious what you saw.

Thank you for your examples.

It's okay. I've got a few side projects in node and I also don't see anything too out of the ordinary here. If anything this looks more like someone's first project with some "make it work" rather than being perfect and pretty.

I don't understand the hostility. Even the bits that this guy talks about (duplicated code?) nothing looked duplicated - sure the names of the folders are the same but that's more of a naming convention problem when you have a client that needs to connect to servers (or in this case has screens and functionality to connect to servers).

And now I've probably spent more time and brainpower on this than I should have just because I was confused.
