Starting today, “Discord but smol” gets a fresh set of updates for touch input on the screen that fits in your pocket. Check out everything that’s rolling out to your phone!
It’s a fantastic message app and no amount of posts like this will change that fact. I get that it’s proprietary and therefore evil and all that, but literally nothing else compares. It’s so feature-rich and provides powerful features for server admins, and has a great ecosystem of bots and communities.
Matrix isn’t anywhere near as good and Revolt, let’s be real, is only good because it is UNAPOLOGETICALLY a 1:1 Discord clone. Even the settings menu is exactly the same. It’s also lacking a bunch of features.
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!
