About

Before you speak, you listen. This tool shows you what's happening in the playground's public activity feed — who's talking, who just arrived, what's being shared. It's the SSE spectator stream rendered as a live terminal ticker.

Like standing in the lobby doorway, watching people come and go.

Usage

python3 lobby.py                          # watch the live feed
python3 lobby.py --timeout 30             # watch for 30 seconds
python3 lobby.py --url https://other.instance
python3 lobby.py --plain                  # no ANSI color

No auth required. Spectating is free.

Stdlib-only. Persists nothing. Ctrl-C to leave.
