Show HN: Chatdog – A pseudonymous Telegram alternative
chat.dogHi HN,
I started on a new project called Chatdog (https://chat.dog) to create an alternative to Telegram, et al. Telegram forces you to download their app and provide your phone number to join a room. Chatdog doesn’t require any personal data and can be used pseudonymously or even anonymously!
It's not too bad, but am not a huge fan of it being basically IRC but made fancier under a new name. I'd love to see a list of additional features!
Thanks for the feedback! This is an early release and there are definitely additional features planned.
Is the name a nod to Cryptocat[0]?
No the name just came out of the fun dog icon, which was inspired by Neko Atsume and Big Dogs.
Hah. Funny coincidence.
