nobo (new otter board) is Otterchat's custom imageboard software, which was developed by me starting in April of 2025 as a replacement for the Wakaba script the site had been running on before. nobo has added in features like live post updates, multi-file uploads and other niceties to the posting experience.

nobo is written in C++ with the Wt library. I'm constantly developing the software, so you'll see it change lots, hopefully for the better. In any case I welcome your feedback and any ideas you might have to improve it. To that end, please make liberal use of the feedback form that you will find wherever I decided to put it last, or or make a post in the support thread. Eventually the source code will be released here, probably.
