Multiple people asked for it, and since very few people were using the Gitter server, I've decided to move the chat/discussion server to Discord. I'll still be on Gitter for a while, but it will eventually be closed to avoid having two places for the same thing.

Here is the invite link:

Try not to use it for reporting things you believe to be bugs or huge suggestions, unless you want them to be lost or forgotten within the discussion flow. The main goal is discussion about Grabber and quick questions that might not warrant a Github issue.

Because for more in depth discussion for sources, issues, suggestions, etc. there's already Github issues (here) that already kind of serves as a single-category forum with labels.
Discord is only here for chat or quick questions / help, for which a forum isn't really adapted either.

Also, forums are more annoying to maintain and usually require registration (even when using "login with XXX"), while many of Grabber users seem to already have a Discord account 😅 (and for those who don't, registration is straightforward)
Discord also has the benefits of mobile and desktop apps, which allow shorter reaction time. I won't comment on voice chat since I'm not planning on using it here.

The main alternatives I considered were Slack and Gitter:

  • Gitter was here for a while and pretty much dead/unused
  • Slack is better for discussion thanks to threads, but once again more annoying for registration

The main complaint I have with Discord is for people who indeed have a Discord account but might not want to use it with Grabber. Multi-account is not really trivial with Discord.
