I’m a regular at a local BG hub and until now people keep planning sessions via a whatsapp group. This creates a few problems, such as people asking for players for a game, and then random messages pushing their message out of screen, so people don’t notice. Basically there’s a lot of people who have games who want to play specific games and people who want to play those games, and I want to find a more efficient way to organize this.
Is there any software that does this? Preferrably open source and self-hostable. I thought I’d try asking first before I bite the bullet and write it myself.
There’s literally 0 chance I can convince random people to use matrix instead of whatsapp. Less than 0 chance when it’s not even a boardgame specific solution.
Well it’s open source and self-hostable just like you needed and like discord you can create different rooms for the different topics (or games) so things don’t get mixed.
If that’s too much I only see the option to go in Telegram and create/search for some bots that fill your needs.
I’m looking for specific software for my needs, not trying to repurpose a general chatting software to do the same thing kinda badly.
