  • This reminds me of one of my older projects. I wanted to learn more about network communications, so I started working on a simple P2P chat app. It wasn’t anything fancy, but I really enjoyed working on it. One challenge I faced was that, at the time, I didn’t know how to listen for user input while handling network communication simultaneously. So, after I had managed to get multiple TCP sockets working on one thread, I thought, why not open another socket for HTTP communication? That way, I could incorporate a fancy web UI instead of just a CLI interface.

    So, I wrote a simple HTTP server, which, in hindsight, might not have been necessary.







  • Hey!

    I’m the developer behind this project. I appreciate the honest feedback. You’re right, I might have jumped the gun with using the Infinity for Lemmy name. The last thing I’d want is to mislead anyone or step on the original dev’s toes. I mean, we’re all here because we love Infinity, right?

    I’ve been thinking about some new names, and right now “LemmInfinity” is what I want to go with. It ties us to Lemmy and still gives a nod to our Infinity roots. But I’m not totally set on it. Actually, I’d love to get more suggestions from you all.
