I’ve been working on SAMA, a project around programmable chat.
The idea is that instead of chat being a fixed message stream, SAMA makes chat itself programmable — you can define custom hooks, e.g. for filtering bad words, change message tone etc - all available via Chat app UI.
Think of it like giving developers a way to treat chat as code.
I’m curious how the HN community sees this concept: is programmable chat useful or just complexity?
Would really appreciate feedback from folks here — especially on what you’d want (or not want) from a programmable chat system.
