Hi all,

Quick update on the Solid chat client.

Thanks to everyone who helped test. We had over a dozen participants (old
and new), which was great to see. We found and fixed a lot of bugs, and the
chat feels usable now, though it should still be considered alpha.

New since the last note:

   -

   Saved messages: a private “message to self”, stored in your pod
   (currently unencrypted).
   -

   Access control: the chat currently allows anonymous participation, but
   it can be restricted to logged-in users via AuthenticatedAgent.
   -

   Next to explore: public and private group chats. If anyone wants to help
   test this, please let me know.
   -

   Longer term: I plan to look next at message signatures and encryption,
   building on Alain’s work on LongChat pane.

Best,
Melvin
