  • You can join a dist cluster by sharing a URL with a hashtag and enabling dist.
  • No security barrier exists between nodes, so only use dist with trusted, controlled nodes.
  • This demo uses plain text communication via gen_tcp_dist, only safe on controlled networks.
  • It relies on wss://relay.widgetry.org for networking, which users likely don't control.
  • Using Erlang distribution unsecured over the internet is strongly discouraged.
  • Connecting to unknown nodes can lead to malicious control and potential browser exploits.
  • Avoid using credentials, sensitive information, or PII in this environment.
  • The OS hasn't complied with California's Digital Age Assurance Act and may be jurisdictionally unsuitable.
  • After dist connection, try chat:start() for more interaction.
  • The demo runs crazierl on an emulated x86 PC via v86 in your browser.
