#3It's great that etke.cc chose to build on nheko (a very fast Matrix client) and put in many thoughtful upgrades.
I really hope Komai start getting built for macOS.

This may be a matter of taste, because I quite like the approach the ekte team have taken.
To my eye, the app is clean and minimal and shows me everything I need easily.

#5While I could understand some AI assistance, I just cannot look at such README with clearly sloppy too detailed nonsense app icon and eyesore emoji vomit:

#6Having the core of your app be written in languages you self-admittedly don't understand is a bold move. I've been a big fan of the ansible-matrix playbooks for a while now so I'm willing to see this play out, but it doesn't fill me with confidence.

It is utterly annoying to see emojis pollute information presented in a technical manner. It’s the hallmark of generated technical slop and seems to appeal to the perpetual resume polishers found on LinkedIn.

#9You can teach a person to write programs.
You can't teach good taste.

#10Wow, so much negativity, when the app scores really high on things that are supposed to be important here:
* Desktop first, no electron crap
* Open source and free
* Linux first
* Subjective, but to me it looks clean
If getting all that means using some AI vibe code, that's fine by me. Who isn't these days anyway? (Be honest!)
Anyway I hope the project is successful, more choice and competition in Matrix clients is a good thing.
Now if only they can fix video calls...
