    I think the problem with projects like that is they end up with stuff like this: https://i.imgur.com/PRX4haL.png where the only recommended client is one that is unmaintained.

    Though I hope Revolt succeeds because Discord has way too big of a monopoly.

      I don’t understand why everyone thought moving everything to discord was a good idea that wouldn’t backfire for a million reasons.

        I have just started using it, but I’m planing to migrate my small Discord group over to Revolt.

        If you go to their website revolt.chat it’ll offer a download for desktop or a link to the web app, but they’re basically the same. They’re working on an updated client called Frontend which you can get a beta of from GitHub.

        I’m on an iPhone and I used the save to Home Screen function in Safari while in the web app to get an icon for it, and I think it works pretty well! It can even do push notifications, but some weird artifacts of using the web app on mobile mean you’ll only get notifications from mentions in a server or a direct message (or group message).
