Devzat is a custom SSH server written in Go that drops users into a terminal-based chat room instead of a shell prompt. It works on any device with an SSH client and can be self-hosted, with an optional Slack bridge.
Use cases
- chat with other developers from the terminal over ssh
- self-host an ssh-based chat server
- join a dev chat from a phone using an ssh app
- bridge a chat room into slack
- run a lightweight community chat without a web client
When to choose
- you want a zero-install chat client since ssh is everywhere
- you prefer terminal-based tools
- you want a simple self-hosted chat server with minimal dependencies
When to avoid
- you need rich media, threads, or file sharing
- you need a graphical or mobile-native chat experience
- you need large-scale enterprise chat features
