Programmers and non-programmers have very different ideas of what is "decent". Examples of things non-programmers want in a group chat app:
- persistent chat history
- mobile client
- a sane registration / nickname reservation method
Perhaps requests like those don't match your own priorities, but I don't think they're wrong.
- aepiepaey 8y ago> - persistent chat history That's kind of misleading. "Server-side chat history" is more accurate. IRC logs are more persistent. It's possible to go back and check them at any time. If I've read the messages, I know they've been logged, and I know they'll still be there. Discord history, on the other hand, can be deleted from the servers at any time. Often when you go back to double check something that was written previously, it's not there any more.
- zaarn 8y agoOnly if you run a bouncer or IRC client 24/7, which means you either pay for it or some device in your house will be running all the team. Not great for the average user.
- swiley 8y agoMost channels have a bot running that logs it. If you really care to read through every message you can go read the log.
