    If only it didn’t looked like a 20 year old software.

      Maybe it’s just me but I think the Mumble UI is way better than the Discord UI

        Yay mumble!

        And I agree: it’s better. I think it’s faster and that, IMHO, is where the power is. It can look boring like a hammer as long as it’s intuitive … like a hammer.

        I don’t know about the UX, but if you want peoples to use your app, it need to look nice.

            Discord is also quite the resource hog. Trying to run the web version on weaker phones is a slog.

      It’s voice chat, you choose a server and then minimize to tray, you never have to look at it…
