Gitea is shady af. Use its fork Forgejo instead. That's where all the original developers went.

Thank you, I had no idea ollama was so shady! I will start using llama.cpp directly.

I only have 16GB VRAM, and my system uses ~4GB from that. What are my options? I got this one: `Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-UD-IQ2_XXS.gguf`

So I can use this in claude code with `ollama run claude`?
I can't argue with that. kind is the practical solution, not the ideal one.

Voice will be implemented once all the text features are up to my standards. You can check it out then. No pressure right now.
Eventually!
Thank you for your input.

Everything you listed will be worked on after initial release. It's in the works.

EDIT: Code is live.

Ripcord and discordo were my favorites amongst the alternatives.

kind is the missing Qt FOSS alternative.

Thanks, I'm using Qt Widgets to make this though.

And I made a website for it shortly after I made this post:

Ask HN: Is there any interest in a native Qt/C++ Discord client?

I've been building a third-party cross-platform Discord client called kind (kind is not discord) in C++ and Qt 6. No Electron, no web wrapper. A proper native app for Windows, macOS, and Linux.The UI always loads instantly. On first load, things take as long to appear as Discord's network responses. On subsequent loads, everything comes from cache and is validated against REST in the...

The point is to have a clean home directory.
Open source? Where's the repo for its source code?

Wow. Could you tell us more about your journey?
