Having the core your app be written in languages you self-admittedly don't understand is a bold move. I've been a big fan of the ansible-matrix playbooks for a while now so I'm willing to see this play out, but it doesn't fill me with confidence.
While I could understand some AI assistance, I just cannot look at such README with clearly sloppy too detailed nonsense app icon and eyesore emoji vomit:
It is utterly annoying to see emojis pollute information presented in a technical manner. It’s the hallmark of generated technical slop and seems to appeal to the perpetual resume polishers found on LinkedIn.
Wow, so much negativity, when the app scores really high on things that are supposed to be important here:
* Desktop first, no electron crap
* Open source and free
* Linux first
* Subjective, but to me it looks clean
If getting all that means using some AI vibe code, that's fine by me. Who isn't these days anyway? (Be honest!)
Anyway I hope the project is successful, more choice and competition in Matrix clients is a good thing.
Now if only they can fix video calls...

It's great that etke.cc chose to build on nheko (a very fast Matrix client) and put in many thoughtful upgrades.
I really hope Komai start getting built for macOS.
This looks very ugly compared to other matrix clients
This may be a matter of taste, because I quite like the approach the ekte team have taken.
To my eye, the app is clean and minimal and shows me everything I need easily.

A lot of younger developers seem to really like this. Not a big fan personally, but you gotta live with the times I suppose.
I do draw the line when they start putting them in console outputs though.
AI slop app.
You can teach a person to write programs. You can't teach good taste.
