U'ch

uChannel is a planned Japanese-style textboard program. It is planned to have similar features to Kareha script, which is used by one of the most popular Japanese textboards on the Internet. It will be coded in Visual Basic 2013. It is planned and will be created by Jovik. It is part of the Unoyatōme Programs. It is the first one in the series. It is considered as a "service" application.

Abbreviation

The program requires a key from the user. A key either may be used on one PC only or on mutiple PC's. To get this, the user goes to a | form for key request. After that, they receive an e-mail having the program and the key.

Multi-language support
The program supports English and Taglish.

As of 3INDEV/STAGE3, it is planned that this will be added on 1.1BETA instead.

Support over the project
When Jovik announced about the program, there was no attention given.

However he discussed this in this wiki's chat and one of the people, user:Twelveably joined in supporting the project.

One of the thoughts were merging databases with Orthexa however this is not yet confirmed if fine yet.

Planning
Jovik was searching for videos on YouTube for code on things needed on the project. He also said that he would be reading an old book for Visual Basic which had info about Visual Basic 6.

One time, he felt guilty for putting in the IP in the database folder for messages for security because of privacy. As of this, he thought of having to make more programs for the sake of users.

Jovik also planned the database and the project in a piece of paper, which was his first time doing so.
