What IS Hydar?

Hydar is a web application which primarily offers chat services, which are centered around boards. Users can create boards, which can be set to either public or private. Public boards can be joined by anyone who is given the board's unique ID, whereas private boards (the default) are invite-only. As of now, there are certain boards that will be displayed for every user. These boards are Everything Else, Skyblock, and SAS4. As one can guess, these are primarily focused on individual online games, but users can create boards for whatever topics they'd like! There are also direct-message channels, which are similar to boards in all ways except that they are private and between two people. All you need to send someone a direct-message is their unique user ID.
Every board also has a voice channel. This is a chat room in which users can communicate via their microphone. Users can also share their screen while in the voice channel, or can choose to view other users' screens (assuming they are sharing theirs).
An example of screen sharing, where the user is watching another user's stream.
Within boards, there are certain bot commands that can be used. These commands are focused on the games currently supported by this web app. There is also a chat bot that can commune with users in the official public boards, and can be invited to private boards or directly messaged. For more information on bots and other commands that can be used, simply type /help in a board.
And finally, this web app is completely anonymous! That means you don't need an account to access the site or use any of it's features. Pressing the button to create an anonymous account will allow you to use the site, and no personal information (including email) is required. It is also possible to access the site under a guest account, with reduced privledges.
