I have too much going on, so the project is currently in the frozen state. I have little to no time on developing Melodious because I'm not going to sacrifice my time for this project due to having a full-time job.
I (or we) may get back on developing Melodious by January 1st 2020; but for now, if you want to contribute, please let me know.

UPDATE: I'm no longer commited to its development due to Fosscord's existence. I recommend you use that instead when it's ready.

Tired of Discord's staff telling you to shut the fuck up about #DiscordUnbanQuackity? Well, Project Melodious is the chat for you!
Written in Go, it is both fast and stable. Changes being made literally every 7-12 hours, it is growing fast and strong to be a fully-featured Discord clone, without furries!
Although it might seem like a shit idea since Discord is boasting a userbase of >150M people and counting, we are free of furries, which will probably attract more people.
Melodious is an attempt at writing a self-hosted Discord alternative initiated by recent Discord staff actions mentioned above.
Its server is being written in Go, while web client will be written in JavaScript.
$ git clone https://gitlab.com/melodious-chat/melodious.git
$ cd melodious
$ go buildMelodious server requires a running copy of PostgreSQL.
An example config file:
{
"db-addr": "postgres://handicraftsman:password@localhost/melodious?sslmode=disable",
"http-addr": "0.0.0.0:8080",
"delete-history-every": "1h",
"store-history-for": "P1W"
}store-history-for is a ISO 8601 duration string.
delete-history-every is a duration string as described at https://golang.org/pkg/time/#ParseDuration
