Not sure "written in Rust" is a headline thing that's worth mentioning anymore. Particularly amusing in this case when parts of Discord are written in Rust too.

Both are planned features
Do you have any plans for capturing game audio on Windows and Linux? It's very annoying to have to boot into Windows if I want to stream a game with audio to some friends.

> One thing that makes me appreciate it even more is the fact that it's written in rust without the authors trying to make it into a primary selling point, which is annoyingly common in these days("X written in rust").

For me I think “written in Rust”actually does add a lot. It is a signal that this will be easy to build, easy to deploy (because it is compiled into a single binary in general), memory safe, and likely to be written by a someone that cares about performance and efficiency. I think those are all valuable hints.
> memory safe That's an incorrect assumption if you haven't audited the code. > likely to be written by a someone that cares about performance and efficiency Ah, the stamp of approval that comes from signalling to the "right people". Reminds me of the preamble to almost every C++ Boost library -- "written with performance in mind".

On anything you can self-run it's a very useful qualifier. Personally I ignore anything that says "written in Node" because I don't want those headaches.
how about a discord-compatible backend?
How does it compare to matrix? Would have been nice to use that since it’s an open protocol that already takes privacy seriously
My question, maybe a bit more meta - is why not instead work on features for matrix and a client like element? As if the world needs yet another slack-like. xkcd_15_competing_standards.png
it's not written in Rust, it is written in Typescript the backend is written in Rust if you use Discord, you don't care about the backend, it doesn't run on your machine This is something i notice about rust users, they promote "written in Rust" more than the products Very bad marketing
I'd wager that in general the crowd frequenting this site are much more interested in what the back-end / protocol is written in than what the web app is.
Solutions should solve a problem. Tech demos should demonstrate tech.
Instead of yet another app/platform, why not Matrix protocol?
Plus the likely value here is largely the client, so you can consider reusing, or at least building on top of an existing matrix server.
Also, the scrollbar on roadmap page in desktop Vivaldi version doesn't seem to be doing anything.
