This is just a side project, but I want to improve and unify the chat system and make it more of a central part of the game. The backend is done (not deployed though), and it supports proper commands, bots (for mini games, useful info), proper persistent channels, proper DMs, etc.
The next step is the frontend, and I have some excellent mockups, but getting it to fit the reality of the game is another matter. Some stuff that looks cool just doesn't make sense, or needs some tweaking.
Anyway, this is the current underwhelming state of it. I'll post more updates as it progresses, just going to keep picking away at it until it's polished and full-featured. Well, or at least stable enough to swap the old one out with.
It works already, it just has that alpha feel to it. The fact we allow spaces in usernames is a real pain in the 🫏 as well; I'm allowing double quotes for now, until I think of a better idea.

The backend API is pretty powerful now, it's going to take a bit of effort to reflect it all on the frontend, but it's getting there
