Origins

The two main reasons that pushed me to create this project are: portability and client performance. One day I wanted to install Discord on a Raspberry Pi, but I was running Ubuntu with an ARM processor, and Discord doesn't provide a version for computers running Linux and ARM processors. And Discord is an application created with the Electron.js framework, so it uses a lot of resources, which is a shame for an application that you use in parallel with other applications most of the time.

fast-discord's Issues

Segmentation Fault when viewing any channel

I built Fast-Discord according to the instructions in README.md, using Homebrew for deps and cmake for compiling on macOS 13.0 22A380 arm64 (MacBook Pro M1 2020)

If I open a channel that has messages in it (empty channels do not seem to cause this problem), the program crashes with the following output:
[1] 90024 segmentation fault ./Fast-Discord

I launched Fast-Discord using ./Fast-Discord in the bin-folder.

cant change audio/video settings and more

any tab in the "APP SETTINGS" below Accessibility is unclickable. this is on wayland if it matters.

Crash after login.

Downloaded via AUR Package

Changing Appreance > Message Display doesn't update current chat, doesn't reflect current setting

Changing the message display doesn't re-render the chat to the current setting, and it seems like it doesn't show the current setting (chat is in compact, but settings say cozy.)

AUR: fast-discord-git r219.110de79-1

Server list update

Added a new server via web or other client and it won't be updated in fast discord.

Doesn't support touch screens

Tested the latest version built from git on my pine64 PinePhone on Wayland. The UI doesn't scroll when you move your finger across it—it behaves like dragging a mouse, highlighting text. A speedy, efficient client like this would otherwise be extremely popular on Linux phones that have limited hardware resources.

No available builds/releases?

Hello,

where can I find a release? The download link in the readme does not work, it says it's expired. (for Windows).

Cheers

QIODevice::write (QSslSocket): device not open

After compiling and trying to run Fast-Discord, this is the only output. The main window appears after the account selector, possibly because I configured in the past, but it's empty.

Equivalent packages of the ones mentioned in the readme are installed.

Got error "`Qt_5.15' not found"

I use Ubuntu 20.04.5, and have installed the dependencies according to the instructions.
But when I execute Fast-Discord, I get an error:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5: version `Qt_5.15' not found

Can you give me a hint what to do?
Any help is highly appreciated.
