From context, I'm guessing it's not about textile manufacture?

Matrix for IM, discourse for longer discussions, … Plenty of open source alternatives. Can even bridge between matrix channels and discord
Matrix lost, or never even won, outside some unusually neckbeard-y communities. I gotta admit I kinda enjoyed watching someone try to make normies use it. Impossible. To be fair, discord is hard. But Matrix was really impossible.
Meanwhile, Element as an app is also evolving rapidly too. Totally agreed that the onboarding has been awful in the past, but we're plugging away improving it and trying to make it more glossy and less neckbeardy, as per https://element.io/labs/element-x etc.
The fact is that Discord has raised $1B+ to run a centralised unencrypted comms platform; meanwhile Element is doing something ~10x harder (decentralised & E2EE) with a tiny fraction of the $. It takes longer, but the difference is that Matrix should last indefinitely, whereas Discord will get Eloned sooner or later.
I wouldn't say we've lost yet, but ymmv. I do wish we'd progressed faster though.
Is the ‘free’ part of open source not a priority? There is an AGPL license, but it looks like future contributors will be required to use proprietary services for this helping this project with Discord & Microsoft GitHub as the only communication options. If FOSS is good enough for your project, it should be good enough for the tools used to build your community…
That seems overy ideological. While the software itself might be good enough (it often isn't, as that's why these products are being developed), hosting it is a work that can be better spent on the project itself.
It would be really nice if cap was client side and allowed you to save the video directly to your drive. That way you could remove the paid tier and make it free for everyone. Adding 1 or 2 more options for webcam shape etc could also be a good selling point.
The home page does somewhat assume that the reader knows what "Loom" is -- if I'm not already a Loom user, that's pretty much instructing me to go look at Loom first because it's obviously the market leader in whatever-it-does. From context, I'm guessing it's not about textile manufacture?

Loom is software that, in one click, overlays your face in a bubble as you can narrate your screen recording, uploads it as it's recording, and when you press stop it copies a link to your clipboard you can share immediately with whoever you are showing. It's a very polished and complete experience. OBS is for streamers. It could be set up in a similar way if you already have a twitch channel hooked into it. It won't…
> ffmpeg is ffmpeg What an excellent comment :D

I was thinking about "Loom" an old C64 SCUMMVM game with music.
If there’s one way to turn off a good portion of people from using your project, it’s by locking down the community into a discord.
On the contrary everybody is on discord and not being on it will turn off the vast majority of people cause I wont open matrix just for your software.
Irc pretty simple, one project, one channel.
