ArmCord is a custom client designed to enhance your Discord experience while keeping everything lightweight. ArmCord is built as a standalone client and doesn't rely on the original Discord client in any way. Enjoy Vencord, Shelter and their many features, or have a more vanilla experience, it's your choice! ArmCord natively supports theming of the entire app, you can easily import BetterDiscord themes and manage them. ArmCord automatically blocks all of Discord's trackers; even without any client mods, you can feel safe and secure! Unlike other clients, ArmCord supports rich presence (game activity) out of the box thanks to arRPC. ArmCord has experimental mobile support for phones running Linux such as the PinePhone. While this is still far from an ideal solution, we're slowly trying to improve it. ArmCord is using a newer build of Electron than the stock Discord app. This means you can have a much more stable and secure experience, along with slightly better performance. -

Abaddon
An alternative Discord client with voice support made with C++ and GTK
Alternative Discord client made in C++ with GTK. Abaddon tries its best (though is not perfect) to make Discord think it's a legitimate web client. Some of the things done to do this include: using a browser user agent, sending the same IDENTIFY message that the official web client does, using API v9 endpoints in all cases, and not using endpoints the web client does not normally use. There are still a few smaller inconsistencies, however. For example the web client sends lots of telemetry via the /science endpoint (uBlock origin stops this) as well as in the headers of all requests. Discord likes disabling accounts/forcing them to reset their passwords if they think the user is a spam bot or potentially had their account compromised. While the official client still often gets users caught in the spam filter, third party clients tend to upset the spam filter more often. If you get caught by it, you can usually appeal it and get it restored. -

SimpleX
The first messaging platform operating without user identifiers
Other apps have user IDs: Signal, Matrix, Session, Briar, Jami, Cwtch, etc. SimpleX does not, not even random numbers. This radically improves your privacy. The video shows how you connect to your friend via their 1-time QR-code, in person or via a video link. You can also connect by sharing an invitation link. Temporary anonymous pairwise identifiers SimpleX uses temporary anonymous pairwise addresses and credentials for each user contact or group member. It allows to deliver messages without user profile identifiers, providing better meta-data privacy than alternatives. Many communication platforms are vulnerable to MITM attacks by servers or network providers. To prevent it SimpleX apps pass one-time keys out-of-band when you share an address as a link or a QR code. Double-ratchet protocol. OTR messaging with perfect forward secrecy and break-in recovery. NaCL cryptobox in each queue to prevent traffic correlation between message queues if TLS is compromised. -

Goofy
Desktop client for Facebook Messenger
Goofy is a macOS client for Facebook Messenger. But unlike most other clients, it does not use any of Facebook's APIs, but is basically a single-site browser that injects a little CSS and JS into messenger.com to make it a little more app-like. Feel free to create issues on this repo for feature requests of any kind. However, some features may not be possible due to the way this application is working. Also, I don't want this to be a feature-bloated monster, but a slick and small app. Depending on the number of contributors and the progress of this app, I will schedule releases from time to time, which will then be distributed on goofyapp.com. To debug, there's a VSCode launch.json that can be used to debug the Electron app. To debug the Facebook JavaScript changes you'll need to use the Chrome Web Inspector. -

With Rasa, you can build contextual assistants on Facebook Messenger, Slack, Google Hangouts, Webex Teams, Microsoft Bot Framework, Rocket.Chat, Mattermost, Telegram, and Twilio or on your own custom conversational channels. Rasa helps you build contextual assistants capable of having layered conversations with lots of back-and-forths. In order for a human to have a meaningful exchange with a contextual assistant, the assistant needs to be able to use context to build on things that were previously discussed. Rasa enables you to build assistants that can do this in a scalable way. Rasa uses Poetry for packaging and dependency management. If you want to build it from the source, you have to install Poetry first. By default, Poetry will try to use the currently activated Python version to create the virtual environment for the current project automatically. -
