Okay dares to ask the big questions. What if group chat was hypertext? What if discord let you write arbitrary HTML? What if protocols were bad?

❊ A room is just a special URI which you can POST messages to and GET them back from at a later date.

❊ You can use WebSockets to get a real-time feed of events that you’re interested in.

❊ Events are represented as HTML over the wire. This allows most client implementations skip the bit where they convert every message into HTML, while providing a stable format for non-web platforms to convert into their own inferior representations. This also lets you do really really stupid things with your messages.

❊ Every client is authenticated with a TLS certificate that gets generated by the client on first use.
