While irc is always declining in it's user base, Discord is of course not, But i like many people really enjoyed the simplistic irc ui!, Now while discord does indeed has a compact mode which highly refrences irc, It's still not enoough. I and others have been chatting about it and it seems to me very possible. with the recent hit of discord clients that enable theming or by using the web version im sure its possible, now while i tried coding it i faild misrebly. if more people are intrested maybe i will go back to coding it or maybe theres alredy a solution! anyway i wanted to hear you opinion about such project and how hard it would be?
As you might understand, having your own private open source library used by Discord is something big. Something that makes your effort worth while. So you download the distribution and look for your own, hard earned, copyright notice. Well it's not there because fuck you.
What I found by downloading the (Linux) Discordclient from discordapp.com was that they clearly were distributing source copies of my project, but it had no license or copyright mentioning me (which is required). I also found that they are distributing ffmpeg binaries but I couldn't find any matching LGPL license or source code in the distribution.
So of course I contacted them. First via GitHub where I have reached them before, and then two times via their support people on their home page. I get about the same response as any one else: "I'm sorry but we cannot help you. Were you satisfied with the support response?".
It's not okay for companies to pull their pants down and take a big dump on your personal work. Not when they clearly do not even bother with complying with basic open source exchanges. If I write something I want to be properly mentioned as is required in my very license.
Today we publicly launch Borea on Product hunt and Hackernews.
The SDK gen ecosystem is a mess. Either the tools don't work or they are way too expensive. We aim to fix that with an open source solution that gives you all the functionality you want without killing your wallet or giving you a headache.
Our generators give you typed, documented, idiomatic SDKs that enable you to add custom code implementations that wont be overwritten on regeneration.
We support Python and are working to release Typescript support asap as well as an all in one cli to generate, test and publish multiple SDKs with one command
Check out our PH launch [1] and star our Github repo [2]. If you want to help us build this, we are open to any and all contributions. Check out our dedicated Discord server [3] to build with us or just chat!
Browsernaut got a huge update that now allows for both light and dark mode, and greatly simplifies the UI. Browsernaut is an app picker built for macOS that lets a user choose which app to open a link in. For example clicking a Discord link in your email client won't first open a web browser before opening the Discord desktop app. The entire application is open sourced and built in Rust and TypeScript using Tauri. PRs and feature requests are welcome!
Looking at my Discordclient, there are about 10 to 20 servers I have join. Some of them are related to work, some dedicated to open-source projects, some are just Twitch streamer communities — you get the idea. There are active discussions in most of them going on, almost 24/7.
My question is: how do people keep up?
I do have notifications disabled as I don't like to be interrupted while working. Is it normal to just go through all channels of interest, scanning for important information every once in a while, or is there a trick to it?
So far I have been doing a very bad job at keeping in touch with these communities. I feel like I lack the time and energy required.
Of course, this also applies to Slack, Teams, and IRC, but is not limited to services that target synchronous communication. Keeping up with mailing lists and bulletin boards has been equally problematic for me.
A group of my friends made this platform as part of a course we’re taking that teaches us about open source software development practices, and we would like to announce that we’ve finished its basic functionality.
We created this in response to the Rythm bot for Discord being shut down, and intend to have it so that you could use our API to stream files on a remote machine to multiple clients. We provided an example client as a Discord bot.
Demonstration video (apologies for the bad quality!): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BElcWOi4bPMGhvmtrWqdAZ5P-9I80xB4/view
We’re hoping to grow a community on this, since it’s great to have actual users and contributors (if possible!) We opened a few issues, and think it would be cool to see people eventually start making their own clients if they have preferences for audio streaming other than Discord voice channels!
Here’s the organization repo: https://github.com/raudio-project
Here’s the landing page: https://raudio-project.github.io/
And the Discord server link: https://discord.com/invite/FM78JTfU9X
Any and all feedback is appreciated! Also, please feel free to join the Discord and have a chat with us!
It's okay if it's _only_ an alternative client for Slack (as that's the one I use the most), but support for other services would be awesome too.
Happy to pay for this, Linux support would be ideal.
Any ideas?
