Carbon Chat
Carbon is the Matrix client for Discord and Guilded refugees.
Visit the hosted instance on https://carbon.chat.
Report bugs and suggest features
Please briefly check this README and the issues page first to make sure that the issue/feature is not already known!
- If you already have an account on Gitdab, use the issues page.
- If you don't have an account, and don't wish to create one, you can send an email to the mailing list.
If something in the interface isn't working as you think it should, please provide a screenshot of any messages from the browser devtools console. If using the mailing list, attachments aren't supported, so you'll have to upload to some image host and post the link.
The dream
Carbon's planned features, compared to Discord and Guilded:
- End to end encryption
- Free of charge, per-account, custom emojis and custom emoji packs
- No limit to number of groups you can join at a time
- 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/Guilded 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:
- Unreads
- Chat history
- Typing indicators
- Formatting
- Emojis
- Reactions
- Encryption
- Groups v2
- Group management
- Pinned channels
- Mumble integration
The code
Downloading a CI build
Visit drone CI,
select the branch you want to use, select b2
on the left, scroll
down, and open the URL on the last line to download the build.
Building yourself
npm install -D
npm run rebuild
Hosting
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.
Developing
npm run watch
Files will be rebuilt as you save them.
Use python3 -m http.server -d build
to serve the build on
http://localhost:8000.
(Avoid npx http-server
, since this applies too much caching.)
