View on Flathub ↗

Ripcord is a desktop chat client for group-centric services like Slack and Discord. It provides a traditional compact desktop interface designed for power users. It's not built on top of web browser technology: it has a small resource footprint, responds quickly to input, and gets out of your way. Shareware is coming back, baby.

Ripcord is developed independently, and is not affiliated with Slack or Discord.

0.4.294 Jun 2021

General:

  • Added option to add extra highlighting to the active tab with an extra line of color (off by default.)
  • Minor tweaks to the GUI style engine to make disabled widgets more distinct from enabled widgets.

Slack:

  • Fixed sign-in with username & password no longer working.
  • Some stuff changed on Slack's servers. Now Ripcord has been updated to deal with it.
  • Fixed file upload no longer working.
  • Same as above.
  • Added per-message explicit timestamp in the right-click menu for messages.
  • Increased per-workspace custom emoji limit from 100,000 to 1,000,000.
  • Added a workaround for Apple rdar://12345 links being mangled due to URL parsing treating the 12345 part as an integer IP address.
  • This integer parsing is apparently the "correct" behavior for parsing URLs, but results in rdar://12345 links being useless in Ripcord.
  • Ripcord now has a workaround that will rewrite those URLs to rdar://problem/12345 when they're clicked on or copied to the clipboard. This prevents the the number part from being (correctly?) parsed as integer, and should still work with the rdar:// URL handlers.
  • Added gemini:// as a whitelisted URL scheme.
  • Added snrx:// as a whitelisted URL scheme.
  • Note for Slack users: there is a known and unresolved issue where your channel sidebar may become cluttered with junk channels named like #mpdm-foo--bar. I know about this and I'm fixing it. The fix for it didn't make it into this version, 0.4.29, because a complete and flexible solution for it involves changing some code that will require heavy testing, and I didn't want to delay releasing an update any longer. Sorry about that.

Discord:

  • Added a dedicated mute button for other users in voice chats. Finally.
  • Added ability to bookmark group DM channels. Finally.
  • Added support for replying to messages in DM and group DM channels.
  • Added support for newer permissions flags, like "request to speak" for stage channels.
  • Added a menu item and a toolbar button to join or start DM and group DM voice calls. The only way to do this previously was to right-click on the DM channel in the sidebar. That was stupid. Now there's a regular menu item and toolbar button.
  • Added guild creation date in the right-click menu for guilds.
  • Added channel creation date in the right-click menu for channels.
  • Added anti-spam warning in the "accept invite" menu/dialog.
  • Changed the URL used when clicking on the thumbnail of an uploaded video so that web browsers will prefer to play the video in a tab instead of download the video as a file to disk. Finally.
  • Fixed a bug where angle brackets could be treated as Qt's pseudo-HTML text styling markers in the rich embed text sub-view. This was not an exploitable bug. It was caused by Qt's document layout system automatically trying to apply bold, italic, etc. styling if it thought the plain text had HTML-like tags in it.
  • Fixed unsent input text being cleared when navigating from one Discord channel to another while quick reply input mode is engaged.

Windows:

  • Reordered some initialization procedures to slightly reduce startup time.
