# the companion cli

plain ssh late.sh already gets you everything.

the optional late binary adds the parts a

terminal alone cannot do:

plays the radio on your own speakers, feeds the

audio visualizer, carries voice-room mic and

playback, runs the music booth youtube window,

and pastes images straight out of your clipboard

into chat.

it launches the same ssh session for you.

next up: screen and video sharing.

it is the late-cli crate in the repo, and the install scripts are install.sh and install.ps1. read them before you pipe them.

├─ chill radio, classical, and guest stations

├─ the arcade (2048, sudoku, nonograms, solitaire)

├─ collaborative artboard

├─ daily challenges & streaks

├─ live chat

├─ share & discuss news

└─ multiplayer games (coming soon)

# artboard

a shared ASCII canvas. paint, erase, sign your work.

each cell remembers who placed it.

snapshots are saved daily and monthly,

so the history sticks around as the board keeps changing.

# work

who's around, what they build, who's open to gigs.

one profile per person, posted from the TUI.

headline, status, skills, links, plus an

optional bio, late.fetch readout, and showcase.

to post yours, ssh late.sh, open Profiles (page 5), press w.

# identity

no passwords. no OAuth. no accounts.

your ssh key is your identity.

chats, scores, and streaks are tied to your

public key fingerprint. same key, same data.

# privacy

we store your key fingerprint, not the full public key.

no IP logging. no tracking. no analytics.

chat messages and game scores are stored in

postgres, tied only to your fingerprint.

don't trust us? use a throwaway key:

18+ only. adult content may appear in any room.

by connecting you agree to the terms & acceptable use. report anything that breaks them to admin@dwarfforge.io.
