Nobody mentioned matrix/riot.im as potential open source alternative?
- robotmay 9y agoI quite like the concept but it was pretty slow the last time I tried it. I'm going to keep checking in on it though.
- Arathorn 9y agoWe just sped up Riot/Web by 2-3x in the last week - https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/4997 https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/4997 has the gory details if anyone cares. The bleeding edge CI build lives at https://riot.im/develop https://riot.im/develop if you or anyone wants to try it again :)
- robotmay 9y agoSounds great :) I like the project, I've got high hopes for it!
- aloisdg 9y agoGlad you mentioned it! I use it for most of my chat nowadays. You can use it with bridges to irc, gitter, slack and more. No problem for me. They plan to improve the native experience with more native code (Qt or GTK).
- voxadam 9y agoI'll definitely be on the lookout for a better, more native desktop client as I personally find the UI of Riot to be painful. Maybe I'm alone but I find the amount of screen real estate the Riot requires to be obscene.
