underBBS

underBBS is a platform-agnostic messaging and social media client

design

underbbs supports multiple simultaneous account logins, mediating them for each user through a gateway server that handles all protocol-specific logic via adapters and streaming content to the user through a single websocket connection with a singular data interface.

each distinct adapter connection/configuration is represented in the frontend as a tab, and using the websocket's event-driven javascript interface with web components we can simply either store the data or tell the currently visible adapter that it might need to respond to the new data

adapters receive commands via a quartzgun web API and send data back on their shared websocket connection
