Add project: Discord for Linux and macOS
Basic info
Project name: Discord (for Linux and macOS) Project link: https://discord.com/
Qualifications
ZeroVer's patent-pending zero-based versioning scheme can obviously be used by everyone, but not every usage is necessarily notable. Check that the first and at least one other criterion apply:
- [x] A current ZeroVer-compliant version (
0.*
) or long history of ZeroVer usage, and - [x] Very wide exposure (i.e., 1,000+ GitHub stars), or
- [x] Active promotion as part of a paid product or service (e.g., Hashicorp Vault), or
- [ ] Relative maturity and infrastructural importance (e.g., Compiz, docutils)
Additional notability info
Discord is a very popular communication platform with 200+ million monthly users. While it is far from open-source and is very commercial; it does allow custom bots to interact quite in-depth with the platform through a well-documented API. It is quite customizable in terms of creating communities and has excellent moderation tools. However, Discord does not support any level of self-hosting, federation, or even built-in end-to-end encryption. All information sent on the platform is entirely unencrypted (except standard client-server encryption) and stored on Discord's servers, so use it with discretion.
Citation info
Discord is probably quite an unusual addition to 0ver, as it is closed-source and very commercial. I completely understand if this issue is closed without Discord being added. However, I do find it quite novel that they are so public with their release versioning, especially across all the different operating systems, despite their "close-source-ness."
This issue refers specifically to Discord for Linux and macOS. The current release versions of all applications are:
- Linux: 0.0.66
- macOS: 0.0.317
- Windows: 1.0.9159
- iOS/iPhone: 244.0
- Android 244.13 (Stable)
