late.sh is a terminal-first social platform accessed entirely over SSH, offering real-time chat, lofi/classical radio streaming, terminal games, a shared ASCII artboard, work profiles, and tech news. The repository contains the Rust workspace (SSH TUI server, web frontend, and companion audio CLI) behind the hosted service, licensed as source-available (FSL) rather than OSI open source.

Use cases

  • hang out in a terminal chat room over ssh
  • listen to lofi radio from the command line
  • play 2048 or minesweeper in my terminal
  • draw on a shared ascii artboard with friends
  • meet other developers in a cozy terminal community
  • self-host a terminal-based social space
  • share tech news links and discuss them

When to choose

  • you want a social/chat experience that works from any SSH client with no account signup
  • you want terminal games, radio, and chat bundled in one cozy TUI
  • you want to self-host the stack locally with Docker
  • you prefer SSH-key identity with no passwords or OAuth

When to avoid

  • you need strictly OSI-approved open-source licensing (it is source-available under FSL)
  • you need a graphical social platform or mobile app
  • you need production-grade moderation or enterprise chat features
  • you want a fully offline experience - core features depend on the hosted service
