    Hai

    revolt contributor here, might be biased so please take all of this with a grain of salt

    revolt is not a clone of discord, it only has a familiar interface because new users are used to it

    there is an ongoing UI redesign that you can try out on https://reholt.chat/app, feedback is really valuable right now, so it would be nice if you could point out issues with it

    also, small reminder that revolt is made by a relatively small team consisting of less than 10 members, all volunteers, so the lack of features is pretty understandable from my point of view

    if you don’t like it, it’s fine, there are other apps that are probably better than what revolt has to offer (like spacebar!)

    kinda sad that there is little to no competition to discord :c

      Hi there. I don’t hate Revolt but I think it desperately needs to branch out from looking like Discord. The new themes in that link look nice, but even then the general theme, button design, layout looks too similar to Discord. People looking for something like Discord but open source will love it, but it’ll take some changes for it to be seen as something more than fake discord. Appreciate that it’s open source, though.

        I agree. I am looking forward to this as well!
