Community Portal

URL: irregulars.io | Source: apps/community-portal/

The Community Portal is the front door of the IrregularChat ecosystem. It serves as the central hub connecting members to all community services, showing real-time status, announcements, and an activity feed powered by the Signal bot’s admin event log.

Why It Exists

With 14+ services spread across different subdomains, new members need a single place to discover what’s available. The portal eliminates the “I didn’t know we had that” problem — every service, tool, and resource is one click away from irregulars.io.

Features

Service Directory — Quick-access links to all community services with live status indicators
Activity Feed — Real-time log of admin actions from the Signal bot (member joins, group changes, moderation)
Announcements — Community-wide news and updates
Dormant Members — View and manage inactive community members (admin feature)
Search Integration — Unified search across all community content via search.irregulars.io
Member Dashboard — Personalized view after SSO login

Signal Bot Integration

The portal has deep bi-directional integration with the Signal bot:

Activity Feed — The bot logs admin events (joins, removals, group changes) to the portal’s admin_events table, which powers the activity feed on the dashboard
Dormant Members — The bot’s !dormant command and the portal’s dormant member page share the same data, allowing management from either interface
BOT_API_KEY — The portal authenticates to the Signal bot’s API for admin operations

Integrations

Community Portal → Event Service (upcoming events widget)

Event Service — Displays upcoming community events on the dashboard
