Nice to see alternative clients already. Might also be cool to combine with Jam. https://jam.systems/ https://gitlab.com/jam-systems/jam
The website never opens for me and I have no idea why. I have tried turning off my VPN, switching servers.
Unofficial Clubhouse app for Android

#42Earlier quoted context omitted.
Repost: can I ask how you use PubNub with Agora? As in what specific thing does PubNub do to help you communicate state information that you can't do by writing to a (say firebase) backend.
They do different things. Agora is an RTC platform. PubNub is, as I understood it, a glorified websocket, which is used for realtime updates, like people joining and leaving a room. I have no idea why they chose this particular stack.
Yeah I'm using Agora for my project, as for real time update I find updating a state in firebase on one end and adding a listener on the other end to be "realtime" enough. So i'm trying to figure out what I'm missing, and the PubNub website is not very elucidating.

#43Hah, wait, so Clubhouse is currently iPhone only? I've been hearing a lot about it but haven't been tempted to join, but now I'm learning that I couldn't even join if I wanted to??
They've been advertising to hire someone to do the Android app for a while, so I don't think they intend it to remain iPhone only.
But it looks likely it'll be only iPhone during their current invite-only phase.

the product is essential reinventing conference calls by adding tracking and gamification to voice calls. who are these people who voluntarily sign up and have their data stolen just so they can listen to Dunning-Kruger types who love nothing more than hearing the sound of their own voice. people who think they're genuine but aren't because they build their opinions based on what their audience wants to hear.
it kills authenticity same as all the other services that create humans that consider themselves "influencers". it's not too different from the CCP's SCS only that we are too propagandized into thinking that this won't create a society of digital slaves who bow to the one with the highest karma.

#45Completely OT but might as well ask here. Does anyone know of a good replacement for Turntable.fm/Plug.dj? Social music playing/DJing experience with avatars and a chat is basically what I am after. I have a group of friends that I think might enjoy this type of thing but Turntable.fm pivoted years ago and Plug.dj, while being able to link to YouTube seems to require an API key which these non-tech folks won’t be abl…
I built https://www.JQBX.fm for this purpose. Not an exact clone but it’s my take on the “social listening” problem.
Very cool. I think one of the main things I miss about Turntable is the avatar experience, but I can see using JQBX for another purpose that I think would work super well.

#46I know this is not the same app, but it is the same service, and it's a privacy nightmare from what I gather. If you care about privacy, don't use it. https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/cl... https://www.forbes.com/sites/barrycollins/2021/02/10/clubhou...
the correct and only response to a clubhouse invite is always: no.

> If the invite system is phased out, it creates an opportunity for bots to ruin the app.
If someone can make bots do convincing voice chat with groups of the glitterati, heckling Elon with persuasive counter arguments, that would be quite impressive.

#48When I see a Mumble clone becoming pop I see another lost opportunity by the FOSS community
That points to the problem of open source: a hostility towards growth and product as critical team roles. It makes sense - OSS is an opportunity to do great engineering without constraints of a workplace. But without prioritizing product, growth, and design, OSS consumer products stagnate and suck as an end user. Shifting from GitHub Issues as the default project management is a good prime candidate for starting to m…
I think there's a law in there somewhere...
Suppose you had met the original author at the very beginning of the project and convinced them that marketing/growth/etc. is important. Let's suppose they only write some single facile sentence in the README about, "marketers/growth experts welcome" in response.
I would hold that just having that single, facile sentence buried in the README from the outset is more powerful and persuasive to the project's developer base than the most detailed proposal that a marketing/growth expert could possibly write after the fact.
Maybe another way to say this: if you showed up to a consumer OSS product that had this facile sentence in it there, the entire developer base would welcome you make a marketing pitch to them. Without it, they would interpret it as noise.

It requires the newest version of iOS too, it's the only app my iPhone 7 won't run.
that is most hilarious. so they're using state-of the art mobile devices just so they can send unencrypted audio over udp.

#50What is 'Clubhouse'? Sounds like it's some kind of audio chat app?
