I'm happy to report that my shitty vibe coding project has been a success. The peertube-plugin-shadowchat repository is available here:

https://github.com/ChanoSan/peertube-plugin-shadowchat

I wanted to put it on GitGud, but they use sapphire.moe for accounts and login, and sapphire blocks my VPN thanks to fucking Cloudflare, so whatever.

I've deployed it on my own server after extensive testing in my local dev environment. An example of it in action can be seen on my usual livestream (pictured below)

The README in the repo lists its shortcomings, but I can't be assed to fix them right now. Maybe someday. Also, I probably won't submit this to the official plugin collection, because I don't see that many people really wanting to use it. Maybe I'll change my mind of that at some point.

I started this project just to see how far I could get with just telling a clanker what I wanted, and going back and forth with the output. I'm honestly surprised it went as well as it did.
