I got tired of watching the big platforms treat our group chat like a product — mining our conversations, changing the rules whenever it suited them — so I built OutPost for us: private, self-hosted comms for the crew with text, voice, HD video, screen share, GIFs and a soundboard, all running on my own server with no middleman, no data mining, and no corporate looking over our shoulders. You don’t even have to download anything — just check out the site and jump straight in from your browser, and if you want the desktop app you’ve always got the option. It’s free to join and I’ll give you your first week of Premium on the house, and if you’re one of the first 50 through the door you’ll become a Founding Member — a permanent badge on your profile, and if you decide to stay, 30% off your first 3 months. Not sure yet? Just swing by the site to find out more about what OutPost is and how it all works. Come hang out with us. 🎮 → https://bushwookiesunited.com

I got completely fed up with how bloated Discord has become.Between the constant Nitro ads, the cluttered shop tabs, the endless pop-ups, and the massive RAM usage, it stopped feeling like a simple chat app So, I spent the last few months locked in my room custom-building my own alternative from scratch. No corporate bloat, no ads, just pure performance.I call it Outpost Built the desktop client using **Tauri v2 + React** so it's incredibly lightweight, and engineered a custom backend on **Postgres and Valkey** to handle lightning-fast routing.Here is a sneak peek at the core interface layout. Let me know what you think.
