Retaped
The revolt.chat client re-taped from the one held together by duct tape and bad code* (Pronounced ree-taped)
*Retaped basically isn’t a fork anymore, as I did a full-client rewrite starting in this commit
Features include
- Websocket connection, for updating the chat without refreshing
- Replies, for, well, replying
- Markdown (NOTE: not 1:1 RFM compatible)
- Unreads and mentions
- Emoji loading (including deprecated ones; you can use :trol: and :1984: to your heart’s desire!)
- Theme loading (no need to set a new theme when you switch clients!)
- Image loading through Autumn
- Masquerade loading (including proxying masqueraded avatars through January), as well as sending
- Profile loading (including markdown, roles, badges, and status)
- Written in nothing but vanilla HTML5, JS ES6, and CSS, making it quick to load and light to run
- Actually looks decent (looking at you, Reduct…)
- Custom instance support (NOTE: needs testing!)
- Embed sending/loading
- Permission checking
- Reaction loading/sending (NOTE: cannot react with new reactions yet)
- Role colours, including gradients
- Modular: you need only clone the repo and change files from assets to change the default instance, for example
- Settings page with profile setting
- Colourblind-friendly presence indicators, which are also displayed in chat (you can disable this in settings)
