I got distracted from my work so I made some Continuwuity propaganda. Continuwuity is a lightweights Matrix chat server that you can self-host pretty easily. Give it a try :3

This is the homeserver written in Rust, right?
A suggestion: wherever a QR code is included, the human-readable content should be included next to it. Not everyone has a QR code reader handy, or their reader has the bad habit of immediately opening links or apps. In this case, I see that it just goes to https://continuwuity.org/ and is benign, but others may be apprehensive at naked QR codes.
(there's obviously an exception for QR codes that are intended to convey machine info, like TOTP codes)
I made an NFC/QR code card for my wifi details at home, and that also includes the details written in clear text on the card, since some devices simply don't do QR (or NFC in my case).
