Concord is a terminal user interface client for Discord written in Rust with ratatui.
It aims to bring much of the Discord experience to the command line, with support for browsing servers and channels, reading and sending messages, viewing reactions and polls, opening images, handling notifications, and using keyboard-driven navigation. It also offers optional voice playback and microphone support when built with the appropriate feature enabled.
This is free and open source software.
