Echoed.gg – Discord Alternative

Neat!

The interface doesn't seem to "grow" to a 1440p display on the first page in the app. This leaves the "Add Friend" button floating in the middle of nowhere. I'm sure there is a better responsive design for this to at least avoid visual confusion. The interface looks correct once in an actual chat.

When I message someone it says "Unknown User" as their name in the message history.

I spoke with you briefly as a test, since the project was posted to HN and the domain name said `beta.echoed.gg` I assumed you wanted people to kick the tires of your product. Instead of testing the software or getting feedback the discussion became about it not being a product. This is very strange because your own website says "Product" in the footer. The response was "We are not a business" and then "If want a product go talk to a business".

Are you Open Source then? I can't find a GitHub link or anything similar from your site or by searching myself.

Very strange and I actually caution if this is a "real" project or some kind of data collection thing?

EDIT - Also there appears to be no email verification, so don't trust anything related to what a user says they are?
