Logged in after almost 8 years. Are people still using DevRant?

Hell yeah!

When it still works... :P

Core community nowadays is fairly small, but very tight.

No. Never.

Only on a tuesday

@D-4got10-01 We still have a surprisingly decent amount of posts & interactions with the size of our community.

Welcome back bro

@wojtek322 I know. Which is very nice to see. I'm sure many of us are glad about that.

Few people are. @blindXfish started a successor very recently (the domain still trips "recently registered" warnings) at https://my.devplace.net/ and @retoor has a small community over at https://snek.molodetz.nl/ but that's a global chatroom and not a bulletin board like devrant. She's also working on a ton of other web-based utilities including her own (for the moment, derelict) successor site.

Then again, there has been an atmosphere of decline for over 3 years and we're still here, so I expect that we will be for another 3 at least if the server doesn't give out.

@lorentz We did had a scary period last month but that seems to be resolved. Hopefully it will stay that way :p

There's also a matrix room at https://matrix.to//... but I haven't been there in a long time either because I dislike large chat rooms.

@lorentz True in whatever you say. I personally vouch for @blindXfish his product because it's clearly looking better than the things I make. For me were other things more important, like a literal clone with devRant api support what I made a while ago. But the blind fish seems to really upgrade the site in a positive way while remaining a devRant look and feel. Snek became a close active community but yeah, it's chat and it has a layout that will just stay there and no, it will never be possible to delete your messages or change avatar :P Because I personally like it :P But it does get frequent nice stuff. And that is a fun thing about being part of Snek community, you see daily to weekly progress and the struggles often of making such platform. Also, the worth of AI becomes very clear to people who've spend much time in the channel since every premium LLM is automated there in some way so far and everyone had pros and cons. I'm very happy with all my testers / fellow dev.

@retoor I am so used to be the black person in purple hat, that I don't want to change it anymore :D
