+spc is stream.place chat, in the terminal. it listens to the jetstream for any

+there are no args, then it will display all chat messages.
 
-example:
-if i'm streaming on moth11.net, my did is `did:plc:25z6ogppprfvijcnqo2fsfce`
-so to view my chat, do `go run . did:plc:25z6ogppprfvijcnqo2fsfce`

+if you want to see the union of alice and bob's chats, and their dids are
+`did:plc:12345` and `did:plc:abcde`, then do `go run . did:plc:12345 did:plc:abcde`
+
+pretty simple!

+the colors are just random based on the user's handle, i'll probably add the
+true user's color (according to the profile lexicon) at some point
