Revolt Desktop App

desktop's Issues

3rd Party Server Support

The client should be able to log in to self-hosted servers besides the flagship revolt.app server.

I suggest a third field upon login (besides email and password) which will by default contain the flagship server url but can be easily changed prior to logging in

duplicate window title in linux

when i enabled custom revolt title window , it's duplicated not replaced

Don't hold back my emoji choice

Every time I launch Revolt, the emoji pack is reset to the default one...

Cant open Revolt at all

So I've recently found this app when discovering that Discord didn't really support the privacy laws. Only to get a timeout when trying to access app.revolt.chat.

I thought the desktop app won't have a issue with this. However, the download for Windows 10 is just stupid. So I used the "Quick Start" guide instead.

All I was able to see is a white screen. After a few seconds, the cmd prompt then prints this:

(node:4696) electron: Failed to load URL: https://app.revolt.chat/ with error: ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT
(Use `electron --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)

Is there some measures against people in Russia put in place (cause i am from russia)? Or is my firewall simply blocking the connection? I can't find anything relating to russia in the ToS and privacy policy.

ARM support

Whatever you do, don't forget the armhf aarch64 armv7l single boards etc.
Really run on a wall on this. Even popular apps like discord and viber have no builds for raspberry.

Strange glitch on startup

The one with white and black happens on startup of the desktop app.

It goes white when it's minimized, and you reopen the program. (After few secs shows the loading dots.)

Activity Status still display even turned off on Revolt

Even I turned off Enable Revolt status on settings Discord still displaying Revolt Activity Status

New client launches when clicking on windows push notification

When you get a push notification on windows desktop app and you click it, it launches and loads a completely new revolt window.

Bug in all languages

Whenever we want to create a category there is written "Channel name", and that in all languages.

Mute icon in voice channels doesn't show up.

If you're in a server's voice channel and you after you unmute you try to re-mute, the icon doesn't show up, or you don't even mute. I'm talking about the mute icon at the bottom right corner of your profile picture inside the voice channel.

Add "Minimise to tray" option

Inspired by Discord, an option should be added that changes the close button's functionality from closing to minimising to tray. This might also include the addition of a tray icon, or alternatively could just make close act exactly like minimise (to the open apps list)

Error when trying to quit Revolt

Title. I'm on MacOS, with Revolt build 6020d94 (master).

Start on startup is enabled with no way to disable it until logging in

This report is from windows but it likely affects other platforms as well.

Once you install the revolt desktop app, it registers itself as a startup app, with no way to disable it until you make an account and login.

A few suggestions

• Don't enable start on startup until the user logs in (probably just ask if they want it to? having things just start on startup without asking is intrusive and is something that should be off by default)
• Make client settings accessible from the startup page before logging in

Client Zooming

'CTRL -' Zooms out, however 'CTRL +' does not zoom in, instead 'Shift CTRL +' zooms instead.
Also some kind of mousewheel zooming support would feel quite natural

Package as a Flatpak + Publish on Flathub

notifications have no icon and show electron app id

Instead of showing "Revolt" and the app icon, notifications lack an icon and show the app ID.

Captcha not showing neither on AppImage nor Deb versions of Revolt

When I try to log into Revolt, the captcha doesn't seem to work. Only a button with "Cancel request" shows

This outputs in the terminal when trying to start both the AppImage and the Deb versions:

feature request: prevent launching multiple instances

What do you want to see?

This breaks the state and can cause unintended side-effects such as logging a user out in the new window.

fix: artifact like shapes on launch

I don't know if it's just me or this has been reported but everytime I open Revolt this white thingy(a bug) shows.

i dont think this is a feature is it !?!

Update README to be consistent across all projects.

feat: add a tray icon to minimise to.

Allow users to select whether to close app or minimise when pressing X.

Auto Login Bug

When I click to open the application, the login page where I am asked for my login information opens, when I click on the revolt while it is open, this time it enters the application without asking for login information.

Revolt (all platforms) has died

Basically everyone on revolt is 'offline' including me and I cant change my status.

Build 334e541 (master)

Heres console incase it helps (prob wont)

Autostart on login loads electron demo

As in title, when I login to my GNOME desktop, I am greeted with the electron demo app instead of revolt 🙃

Add license

Please don't have the rich presence for Discord on by default

I understand why the option is there but to have it on by default is just dumb. I'd like to actually have the choice to promote the app to people.

Allow query parameters to be passed with launch options.

For example: --revite-presence invisible will translate to https://app.revolt.chat?presence=invisible.
For revoltchat/revite#417.

Use electron alternatives

https://github.com/sudhakar3697/electron-alternatives

Why electron-alternatives?

• Large size
• Resource (RAM) hogging
• Source code protection (https://www.contextis.com/en/blog/basic-electron-framework-exploitation)
• We would already have a web component in the system that can be used.
• Electron apps cannot be submitted to the Apple store (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21437255)

There are better lightweight alternatives for electron:

• DeskGap (bundles a Node.js runtime and leaves the HTML rendering to the operating system‘s webview)
• Neutralinojs (chromium module is replaced with either user’s web browser or built-in browser component. Node run-time is replaced with a lightweight web server which exposes native OS functionality)
• electrino (simple system built-in web-view)
• Tauri (Build smaller, faster, and more secure desktop applications with a web frontend)
• Sciter.JS (Is a 5MB HTML/CSS/JS (ES6) runtime aimed as a direct Electron replacement)

bug: rendering artifacts in random places

There is a strange rectangle a little darker that appears on the experiments page:

Is it possible to switch server to discord.com ? Is Revolt.chat Discord compatible?

People recommend Revolt and likes of Fosscord, but does Revolt technically have anything to do with Discord? Just confused as on website the compatibility is not stated. Not that i found it anyway.
