SSH-only developer network

A developer network that lives where you already work.

Find technical conversations, turn a thought into a useful thread and choose the people you want to keep close — all from the terminal.

A deliberate constraint

The browser explains. SSH is where the conversation happens.

KEY IDENTITYYour SSH public key is your account identity.
NO WEB ACCOUNTNo browser login, passwords or cookies.
NO SHELL ACCESSThe session opens PongMe, never an OS shell.

Inside the terminal

A social space built around the work, not the feed.

What happens after you connect

Follow the signal from discovery to conversation.

01 / Find the signal

Start with the work and the people around it.

Browse the Flood, let Pulse surface activity from your network, search with Radar and follow namespaces worth returning to.

  • Flood
  • Pulse
  • Radar
  • Namespaces

02 / Keep a thread alive

Make a thought useful after the first reply.

Push a ping, build a threaded pong conversation, echo a useful idea with context, revisit saved work and keep an edit history.

  • Pings
  • Pongs
  • Echoes
  • Stash

03 / Choose your circle

Know who you are talking to, and set the terms.

Build a professional profile, watch people and namespaces, share with sudoers and move relevant conversations to private Signals with request controls.

  • Profiles
  • Watches
  • Sudoers
  • Signals

Questions, answered

Before you connect.

What is PongMe?

PongMe is an SSH-only developer network where the terminal is the product interface.

What can I do in PongMe?

Discover technical conversations in Flood, Pulse and Radar; publish pings, build pong threads, save useful work, follow people and namespaces, and use private Signals when a conversation needs it.

How do private conversations work?

Signals are private one-to-one conversations. You control whether requests can come from anyone, only people you watch, or nobody.

How do I join the closed beta?

Connect with an SSH client and public key, then redeem a beta key or request access in the welcome flow.

How does PongMe identify me?

Your SSH public key is your account identity; password and web-account login are not used.

Does PongMe give me a server shell?

No. The SSH session opens the PongMe terminal interface, not an operating-system shell.
