A zero-account browser chat room mimicking mid-90s online services.
The state runs on Upstash Redis and is shared across three different frontends (React/Vite deployed on Vercel):
* The standalone chat interface (https://lolchat.rip)
* A Windows 95 simulator (https://56k.rip)
* A Mac System 7 simulator (https://dialup.rip)
Users dialing in from the Mac desktop and users on the Win95 machine end up in the exact same rooms talking to each other.
Dialup isn't supposed to be this smooth.
Vibe-coded garbage full of nonsense LLM text.
Damn I had this idea but you beat me to it
AI prose everywhere. Disappointing for something that should be a labor of love.
Looks good, reminds me of the 1990s.
