Hey folks, I made a JUCE server on the Discord platform.
here’s the permalink if you’re already on Discord.
Join folks! 
Hey admins, we’re putting in the official request to get some ROLI presence in the discord channel. We’ve got a fair amount of forum users joined up and talking over there

We have reached 28 users on the discord channel! Come join the discussion!
I would like to join but I have too many chat programs going on as it is!
Would there be a public Slack team that we can request to join?

+1 for Slack. Discord seems a bit too gamer-ish.

@jrlanglois @pflugshaupt I think you should join the channel and see what is being discussed before declaring it “gamer-ish”. I don’t know what your experience has been on other discord servers…
I was hesitant too, but Andross pointed me to Franz, an Austrian meta messenger (or rather wrapper around several messengers, including slack, skype, icq and several others, so I am quite happy with that setup now:
(sure it is not perfect, doesn’t handle jabber, irc also no end-2-end encryption, but well, better than 5 apps running…)

Oh interesting! I’ll have to dive into that…
Haven’t any direct issue with Discord - just the coordinating of the various chat programs!
And for the record, I take part in my local game developer Slack.
I did join, but left again when I saw all the game-monsters in the background. Personally I use Slack if chatting is required.
Anyway, I doubt Roli team members will join discord and for me the forum works well as it is.
I joined… but is it really normal for the Discord app to take about 45 minutes to start up every time (on MacOS)?

What are the advantages of Discord? Do we really need another channel for communication besides this forum?
Remark: If you or your company is looking for an encrypted channel for group communication, encrypted git repositories, public and private file sharing and a smart way to provide your public key to others: keybase.io. It’s free and open-source, comes with clients for desktop and mobile AND has a command line client.

I’d be all about a slack channel personally. Seems lots of people have slack and is easy to integrate into the daily flow of things.
I’m in some slack channels for some other programming frameworks i use and they’re quite helpful / friendly.
Definitely much more efficient than the forum for quick / easy questions & answer

Feel free to start one.
The discord channel is pretty active, tho.

I’m happy with Discord and appreciate you making the channel : ) sorry didn’t mean to knock it, just thought slack might be a bit more accessible.
I’ll see you in there!
I’m in!
I’m using the app (on OSX). First I needed to go in using the web page and beg someone to give me an invite URL, which I can use to join from the app.
This is an exciting looking collaborative medium.
invite links are PINNED in the #general room. Also, a couple users reported problems with the app. I use the website, as it works just fine and is one less piece of software to download/install. I do use the discord app on my phone, tho.
