I agree. I am looking forward to this as well!
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
As a web developer, I agree
But ensuring full compatibility with all three major engines (those being gecko, blink and webkit) is unnecessarily hard, as they have their own subset of features
For example: Webkit does not support extending built-in HTML elements using WebComponent, but Gecko and Blink do support this feature. Or Chrome being the only browser that fully supports the View Transitions API. Or webkit’s CSS vendor prefixes
The list goes on and on.
You could fix most of these issues by providing polyfills, but that increases the amount of files that you have to load in order to make a feature work on other browsers.
If only there was some sort of standard… Oh wait, there is one, W3C. Idk what they are doing tho.
Super exited of COSMIC’s theming features, it looks a lot like google’s material you!
Yeah, my bad 😅
I’ve forgotten that Canonical is not like Fedora or Red Hat
…but at least flatpak is the savior in the end.
Flatpak definitely has a potential, I use them daily. Haven’t had any issues so far
It’s not that they don’t work better in conjunction, it’s canonical’s lack of moderation in the snapcraft store.
This could’ve avoided day one by adding a manual review process (like what they are temporarily doing right now)
I don’t know how flathub handles new package submissions, but I think that they definitely need to have a process similar to what other distros have in place for native packages (heck, even Ubuntu’s own repos have a review process)
As a snap package maintainer i find it weird that there weren’t any guardrails in place to avoid situations like this, considering that the main snap consumer are Ubuntu users and Ubuntu is from canonical.
I guess I should’ve set my expectations a bit lower
Edge is good, yeah, but there are way better alternatives out there (privacy speaking). The closest ones being Vivaldi (in terms of features) and Floorp (Firefox fork).
I use Firefox because it came with Ubuntu and because I haven’t had any issues with it, but I would’ve used Vivaldi if it weren’t the case.
Don’t forget to add android into the mix as well!
Ahh as an alternative to Activity Pub or whatever it’s called?
Seems like it
From wallpaperhub.app
separate federation, they use their own home-grown protocol called ATProto
