typeto.me 2

typeto.me 2 is a character-level realtime chat, like the old talk program on Unix and Unix-like operating systems.

This is a rewrite of an earlier version by Derek Arnold.

• some nostalgic crt bling.
• built with rust
• no other deps required

try it out!

legacy deno version

The original Deno version is available in the legacy-deno branch.

building as a binary

DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build --target binaries --output bin -f builder.dockerfile .

then you can run it like: ./bin/typeto-server from the root of this repo. it needs the files in ./gui to work

build and run as docker container

note: rooms are stored in memory and deleted after 12 hours with no sockets connected

docker compose up -d

dev

For development with the Rust server:

cargo run

Warning: Multi (3+) user support, mobile support, the curses TUI, and the entire port to Rust were entirely vibe-coded and no human has ever reviewed or even looked at that code.
