Notes
gollark: - closed source (bad)- electron (bad)- actually works (good)- plugins (good)- uses filesystem for storage, not a database (not sure of goodness)
gollark: Well, that would be REALLY VERY HARD.
gollark: Minoteaur slightly predates it, but I do know of most things in the space which I know of.
gollark: Of course.
gollark: Anyway, it's kind of moot because 8 is client-rendered and uses an API.
