When is lightable?

For now, I feel lightable as still quite pre-release software.

Where is lightable?

Lightable is self-hosted, with the intention of having multiple hosts across multiple different people, and groups. It's made to be hosted by anyone!

Why is lightable?

Being inspired by many Chat apps that have been created I wanted to take my own journey learning programming in the process

FAQ

I want to run my own servers, how do I do that?

Guide

I have an issue or bug with my use of this software

Lightable has many bugs right now, It's hard to track and fix all of them being a solo dev. You can file an issue in the issues, or if you feel comfortable, you can try and make a pull request.

How do I develop lightable?

Guide

Getting an invite

Hey! Glad you're interested in trying out lightable while it's in its closed alpha stage

Here are some steps to receive an invite code:

• Sign up (for an invite) on the lightable desktop app
• Wait (If I don't respond in a week or-so I deeply apologize)
• Receive a code through the email address you used. (You'll receive it directly from me!)
• Sign up again, set your name, email, password.
• You'll see a modal asking for an invite code. Input your code, and have some fun!

Becoming an administrator

Think you're cool enough to be an admin? Awesome! Here are the steps to be that cool

1. Email me
   • With your revelant information. Way to contact, name, etc.
   • Why you want to be an admin
   • How you would be a good fit
   • How you can help this project grow
   • Something about yourself, have some fun with it!
2. Wait
3. Don't be disappointed if I reject the request. No hard feelings. I will provide a reason, and the time until you can re-apply
4. If you get accepted, grats! Happy for you :)

Guidelines

• Don't be stupid (Revoking people's, invite codes without a reason is VERY stupid)
• Don't be malcious (Don't troll, take it seriously)
• Don't leak peoples info. (Thats really scummy)
• Don't leak your own info
• Don't use your "role" for solicitating something (if anything like this EVER happens, consider yourself removed from this platform for life)
• Be smart, if you have a question. ASK. before taking action (If someone is doing something dumb, use your best judgement. If it's another Admin, shoot me a message, and I'll be sure to take action when I can)
• Help others out. Administration is not limited to controlling, if someone has a question respectfully, and diligently respond

Just because...

Just because lightable is completely open-source, doesn't mean (project server) is free from moderation. If you feel the absolute undying want to ruin others day. Do it alone on your own self-hosted server.
