Very cool! This is a great example of how ephemeral environments can help for a lot more than just fast inner loops or manual verification.
XMPP was supposed to be this. There was a boom in the early to mid-2010s (I worked at HipChat back then, and it was built on top of XMPP). IMO, it works well; it scales, but none of the commercial solutions picked up for whatever reason. In the end, as you say, proprietary protocols like WhatsApp or Slack won the market.
I've heard great things about Matrix. Peeble's founder, Eric, was building Beeper, a chat app with a similar purpose to what you describe (it recently got acquired by Wordpress). I believe that the core was built on top of Matrix, so you might be up to something there.
Ramiro commented on How is everyone managing user authentication for their platform? · Posted by u/aisha_mc
I'd highly discourage you from using SMS; it's very insecure. I'd go as far as to recommend you not to implement your own auth and instead use something like Auth0, WorkOS, SuperToken, or SSOReady (https://github.com/ssoready/ssoready), among others.
Building auth stacks is not trivial and is not what will make your SaaS successful. The more you can leverage experts to focus on what makes your SaaS special, the better.
Library is quieter and better in terms of electric plugs and internet connection. Only downside is that it's closes pretty early. Only few days a week you can work till 7pm or 8pm. So it's perfect for a weekend. Main SF Library on Larkin is pretty good, has lots of light and open space. It has a restroom too. If you willing to tolerate commuting there, honestly outside looks sketch and always have something going on in there.
Coffee shops are better for a weekday. There might be troubles with wifi reliability or power outlets(there might not be), noise levels, people walking all the time. I found out that I prefer to go to cafe Reveille. It's nice and clean and they have pretty decent wifi, though they don't have any electric outlets. Another option is a Starbucks on Fillmore street. Main benefit being that it works until 9pm almost every day, and you can crank up few solid hours there after work
I second this, the SF Public Libraries are a great place to work. I used to work out of the Potrero Hill branch a lot.
The main library (the one by the Civic Center) closes way later than the rest. Good spot if you're working alone.

I love reading these "reports from the field"; I always pick up a thing or two. Thanks for sharing @ianvonseggern!

How is it more simple?
Every time I read about Nomad, I wonder the same. I swear I'm not trolling here, I honestly don't get how running Nomad is simpler than Kubernetes. Especially considering that there are substantially more resources and help on Kubernetes than Nomad.

It doesn't do everything for you. You still need to update applications that use deprecated APIs.
This sort of "just" thinking is a great way for teams to drown in ops toil.
I agree with @metaltyphoon on this. Even for small teams, a managed version of Kubernetes takes away most of the pain. I've used both ECS+Fargate and Kubernetes, but these days, I prefer Kubernetes mainly because the ecosystem is way bigger, both vendor and open source. Most of the problems we run into are always one search or open source project away.

I really like the "remote"/ "on-site" / "hybrid" filter. Good job!
