Eh you probably shouldn’t link to a signup page with no info about features. Can you tell more about this? Is it open source? What tech stack?

Heya. React 18 + TypeScript, Vite, Tailwind CSS, React Router:

Real-time chat (Socket.io) with typing + presence

Channel organization (categories + text channels)

Direct messages (1:1)

Wiki/docs knowledge base (Markdown editor + version history)

Roles & permissions (RBAC: admin/mod/member)

Moderation (reports, kick/ban, mod queue)

Message tools (edit/delete/pin, Markdown, GIF picker)

File uploads (image sharing)

Dark mode + mobile-responsive UI


Yeah it’s so odd that none of the open-source alternatives have this feature. No video calls are not an option. We need video/voice rooms!

If an option doesn't have that then it's not a Discord alternative for me or many of my friends.

Aside from Discord, nobody has gotten this right since Yahoo! Live and Tinychat. Both are dead.

You might be interested in https://kloak.app I believe. It's a privacy-first alternative. It's still in early alpha days, but have most of the things set up. Oh, and we’ve got voice channels with screen sharing in beta too.

How do you plan on funding it? Also, the landing page mentions "You own your community data" but it just looks like you own it and allow us to access it?

Seems to me you're just re-building discord.


"Messages are stored on our servers and are technically accessible at the database level , we won't pretend otherwise. Kloak doesn't require email, phone, or personal info to create an account, your identity isn't tied to your messages the way it would be on other platforms.

Our goal is to implement end-to-end encryption for DMs so that even we can't read message content. But we're not there yet, since after all we need to make sure the platform is safe and not to shield illegal content being sent."

This is a message from one of their founders I found while exploring the app.


Why would they name their software sewer?

Try Ballistol, it’s so good!


Came to post this; Ballistol works brilliantly; and can also be used as a leather conditioner, wound dressing, & marinade for carne de cheval, with the addition of some juniper berries and a little rosemary.


The best all-rounder is Ballistol. Smells way less than 3-in-1 and performs great!


Does everything always need precedence?


I think you mean precedents but in any case the precedent is that often a new tech is heralded with “this time is different! Ignore the precedents” and yet so far that has been wrong every time.

One day the sun won’t rise in the morning but it’s not something I’m going to plan on happening in my lifetime.


Jep, sorry not an native english speaker.

It’s been wrong every time, except for the times it wasn’t. Nobody remembers those though. Something something confirmation bias.


Thank you. AI is different from tools we've seen before. There won't always be a precedent to refer to.


Well they would still be running the google models in Apple DCs. I doubt this is a very cost efficient deal for them.


If you can switch to an iPhone, you can switch to a phone capable of installing grapheneOS though…


Wouldn’t something like an Apple Watch be much more reliable for alerting emergency services in case of seizure, given that fall detection is an actually advertised feature of it?


Maybe but an Apple Watch can’t put me in the recovery position


You won’t miss much. The only thing I am missing is the mop after vacuum functionality, which was kinda borked and eventually removed in Valetudo for my specific model (Dreame L10s pro ultra heat)


Why not make an option to use third party JMAP providers (like selfhosted stalwart)? It would help push the JMAP client ecosystem - which could really use some help…
