I think the original question could be about the protocol. Why not use Matrix as the protocol for the project? No one is doing the work to bring a Matrix-based Discord alternative because they’re a) on Discord b) creatin IRC face-lifts like Element c) refusing to quit IRC d) making projects with bespoke protocols like this one. It’s incredibly frustrating.

Thanks, I’ll check it out!

These plugins just never work quite as well as a browser made specifically for it, namely Qutebrowser. Trouble with Qutebrowser is that’s it’s Python and parsing a lot of links slows it down. Still the best browser out there for this use case though, as far as I know.

I do wonder if it’s going to be HC viable as well.
