A blazing-fast, browser-native Gemini-powered chatbot wrapped in a retro-futuristic terminal UI. - Full theme support (dark, neon, glitch) - Chat history & memory saved locally - Uses your own API key securely, so you control data
Okay, you've officially made AI chats cool again! The retro UI is pure genius - finally an interface with actual personality. Love that it's lightweight yet packed with customization. That sarcastic hacker persona? Instant favorite. Consider me a convert!

@rani_zagita I am glad that you like the look! Syntra was actually the first persona that i made for this app. Fits the vibe of the app the best, I think. Anything you will like to see in future updates?
@paramjot_singh Ohhh yes please! A classic Matrix-style green-on-black theme would be perfect - complete with that nostalgic character-by-character typing effect (maybe even optional CRT scanlines for extra 90s authenticity?). And some retro 'beep-boop' terminal sounds? Would make Syntra's sarcasm even more delightful to receive 😄

@rani_zagita Love the Matrix-style suggestion - it’s right in Syntra’s element.
Quick rundown of what’s already in place:
Green terminal theme → Available via the theme dropdown (top right) or themes switch command (type /commands to see all available commands)
Dark mode → Toggle with /dark or via Settings → Dark Mode
CRT scan lines → Head to Settings → General → CRT Scan Lines
I'm building this solo, so I really appreciate thoughtful ideas like these. The character-by-character typing, retro terminal sounds, and other nostalgic effects are definitely on the radar as they’d add a lot of personality, and I’d love to bring them in over time.
Also, would love your feedback on how to improve the CRT scanline effect - more realism? Subtle curvature? Let me know!
@paramjot_singh For extra realism, maybe something like this, make it as real as possible, but maybe you might considering speed it up depends on how much content Iris/Syntra is saying every time.. just a random imagination from my side though.. Hope you don't mind much 😅
