Discordo is a terminal-based Discord client. It provides an alternative to the official desktop application for users who prefer navigating channels and conversations with a keyboard.
The application offers an interactive interface for browsing servers, channels and direct messages. It can display formatted messages, attachments and inline image previews, while its configurable layout allows users to adjust the presentation of conversations and server lists.
Discordo includes extensive configuration options for keyboard shortcuts, appearance, notifications and message handling. It also offers voice-channel functionality on supported systems, bringing some of Discord’s audio capabilities to the terminal.
This is free and open source software.
