Realtime imageboards

***ones

So your plan to replace 4chan which you can't compete with is to compete with discord?

I've used meguca. It has a problem of massive thread sizes which take forever to load and just don't get read. At the end of it all you just have a chat room that archives it's self and is difficult to read. Take 4 posts who reply to each other and you have a time travel paradox where you can't figure out what leads to where. If Post3 only had 2 lines when post 1 replied to it, which then replies to post 1 you get a weird time loop which lacks the timeline needed to understand the two people chatting during it.

I like the idea of meguca but reality makes its a bad system. Chat rooms and forums aren't the same thing.

Traditional imageboards fail because they have too many boards which splinters the tiny userbase, a lack of new features is a very minor issue by comparison.

why?
just make better version of what we have and solve are the problems that are supposedly there?

"muh dead boards" is a complete red herring and it doesn't help that cuckchan-addled retards think a board with 20 posts a day is "dead". A fast board has shit quality because effortposting is no longer worth it since it gets buried in shit immediately. I prefer a slow board over a reddit-tier spam show every day of the week.

"dead" boards are comfy. the fast boards are full of cancerous shit thats usually not even related to the topic.

That's a self-contadiction. Imagine features that significantly improve your ability to browse and post on many boards and threads at the same time without having to clutter the fuck out of your browser tabs list and have your browser take 8 gigabytes of memory as a result. And then a way to group boards so that rather than browsing Zig Forums you'd be browsing all tech boards that you've favorited. The splintering would have a very negligible effect given appropriate features.

For one, I think the idea of the catalog needs to be deprecated in favor of a better overboard, or the other way round. The overboard should be able to load an arbitrary number of boards and use a socket connection to listen to updates that happen to each. The realtime system will allow you to do that since a well designed system for listening to rooms takes almost no resources from either party, unlike loading the entire fucking catalog over and over again even when nothing happens in the boards.

I've tried to do some of these things myself but there's a limit to how much you can do with the current website. But even then it already helps a ton. For instance I can see when someone posts in the nearly-dead /prog/ within 5 or so minutes, without ever having to go there or even open the catalog. Ideally you should be able to follow all boards that you have favorited like that, but currently you have to load the entire fucking catalog to find out if anyone has posted on a given board. There's ways you could make it much easier and I've asked for them, but nobody that's running Zig Forums will respond to anything anymore.j

I seriously want a new imageboard to beat Zig Forums just for the sake of replacing this shitty fucking software.

image board apps already do that shit. So what exactly are you adding that cuckchan doesn't already have?
