Carbon Chat
Carbon is the Matrix client for Discord refugees.
The dream
Carbon's planned features, compared to Discord:
- End to end encryption
- $0 per-account custom emojis and custom emoji packs
- Uses the open Matrix and Mumble systems
- Much better IRC layout
- Probably more
Carbon's planned features, compared to Element:
- Get rid of the unmanageable combined rooms list
- Groups like Discord's guilds
- Always have one group selected at a time
- Synchronised membership, moderators, power levels and bans
- Ordered channel list
- Unread indicators
- Add existing channels to groups
- Pin any channel to the groups bar
- Tidy Mumble integration to add voice channels
- More reliable unreads
- Per-account custom emojis (Ponies+FluffyChat integration) and custom emoji packs
- Slightly better IRC layout
- Probably more
The reality
Carbon is currently technically usable as a chat app, but is very early in development. These important features still need to be implemented:
- Login GUI
- Unreads
- Chat history
- Formatting
- Emojis
- Reactions
- Groups v2
- Group management
- Pinned channels
- Mumble integration
The code
Building
npm install -D
npm run rebuild

Send the files from the build folder to a static file server. Apply
a long cache-control header to everything served under /static, and
no cache-control header to everything else.

Files will be rebuilt as you save them.
