You can now use the BBS-style split-screen chat, just finished it
today. Added end-to-end encryption as well so no-one can snoop on you.
Had the first chat with an old-time BBS friend today and it was great!

"chatbox in 1966"? Where there BBSs in 1966?

Maybe it should read 1996?

[ELIZA chatbot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA) was originally
released for the [IBM 7090](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_7090).

I wanted to see if anyone would use this before trying to get it to
work on mobile, where I figured the experience would be pretty
unauthentic anyway.

That's pretty neat!

​

Will you be releasing the code under an open license of some sort?

[ELIZA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA) is indeed from the 1960s.
