vloddot / jolt-svelte

Jolt. A desktop Revolt client made in Svelte.

Jolt

In physics, jolt is the rate at which an object's acceleration changes with respect to time. It is a vector quantity (having both magnitude and direction). Jolt is most commonly denoted by the symbol j and expressed in m/s³ (SI units) or standard gravities per second (g₀/s).

Custom Revolt client for desktop made in Tauri and SvelteKit.

Note: This client is deprecated in favor of vloddot/jolt-solidjs.

Installation

To install, follow the releases page and pick out the version you need.

Running and compiling the project

Prerequisites

To compile or launch Jolt in a development server on your own machine, you're going to need a node package manager (NPM, Yarn, PNPM, etc.), first run the following command to install NPM packages: pnpm install. Then edit src-tauri/tauri.conf.json's beforeDevCommand and beforeBuildCommand keys to adapt to your package manager of choice.

If you want to run the desktop app on a development server, you're also going to need to install cargo (preferrably using Rustup) then you need to install some packages, if you are using the Nix package manager, just run nix develop (recommended if you have the flakes experimental featuee enabled) or nix-shell shell.nix. If not, you can find the prerequisites in the shell.nix or flake.nix files in the Nix language syntax. Otherwise, the packages to install are in packages and libraries keys and a bit of setup to add to a shellrc (.bashrc, .zshrc, etc.) is in the shellHook key. You also need to install the tauri-cli tool through cargo with:

cargo install tauri-cli

Build Command

To build the desktop app (has to build the browser app with it; see below), execute this command:

cargo tauri build

Once it is finished, you will find the build files in src-tauri/target/bundle.

To build the browser app, execute this command:

pnpm run build # you can also adapt your favorite package manager

Development Server

If you want to test the application before building it or installing the application through GitHub Releases, you can run it in a development server. It will not have the best performance compared to the built executable.

Just run the following command:

cargo tauri dev

or if you want to run it in a browser:

pnpm run dev # you can also adapt your favorite package manager

jolt-svelte's Issues

Emoji and Markdown support

Add support for emojis that behave with GitHub's :emoji: syntax and Markdown support powered by GFM.

Permissions

Parsing the permissions bitfield in channels and members and showing specific buttons conditionally. Like not allowing the user to type when the SendMessage permission isn't set in the bitfield of the member.

On smaller screens, chunks get more and more *squished*

Basically the effect in this image:

DNS Issue when fetching "https://api.revolt.chat/users/{target}"

Reason for this is unknown.

`session` store not set after login.

Make sure all cases where the user logs in, session token gets defined.

Typing events don't timeout if they never send a `StopTyping` event

If, for example one user starts typing in a channel and then disconnects, the user's client obviously can't send the StopTyping event and therefore, on another user's side running the Jolt client, the typing event will not timeout the event and just keep saying <username> is typing....

`reywen_http::DeltaError` cannot be serialized to frontend code.

reywen_http::DeltaError is the enum in Reywen's code that is meant to be used as an error result when doing fetch requests or such. It's quite helpful to have it in the frontend code instead of giving a string. As it can list what came back from the server, status code, etc.

Two ways of handling it would be:

1. Returning a custom enum that is deserializable
2. Manually implementing serde::Deserialize

I'm leaning towards the first option as it is easier for the frontend code to handle.

Server Settings

/servers/[sid]/channels/[cid]/settings route that behaves almost like the /settings route but for managing server settings.

Servers not in the same order as the server's settings.

After editing servers and putting them in a specific order in the Revite client, they are saved in Revite in a certain order, so for example in Revite, if I have server #1 and server #2, and they are in the respective order, they should show up in Jolt as server #1 and server #2, if I swap the two, they should appear in the Jolt client as server #2 and server #1, but they don't.

Form submit issue for `<textarea>` in message input.

When pressing Enter/Return on a <textarea>, it goes into a new line, instead of sending a message. A <textarea> is still helpful for wrapping so prefer keeping <textarea> instead of using something like <input>.

Presence Indicators

Presence Indicators for users (Online, Idle, Focus, Do Not Disturb, Offline/Invisible)

Weird stuff happening after having way too many servers for the screen

So if you have way too many servers for the screen, the expected behavior is for it to scroll normally, but a few issues happen:

• The tooltip goes down to the bottom of the screen.
• You can scroll downwards more, leaving the main content at the top.

Recording of this in action

Another subtle yet very obvious issue is the fact that the tooltip isn't perfectly positioned.

I could not replicate this myself but another issue I found was two tooltips appearing at the same time after fiddling with the tooltips a bit. Definitely worth looking into.

Custom Context Menu

Custom Context Menu to have custom actions like copying certain IDs (users, channels, servers, etc.) or replying to messages or marking them as read.

Receiving Website Embeds

Support for showing {"type":"Website"} embeds.

Doubled Messages

Messages received are doubled. Possibly due to running two websocket connections by accident.

Sending Masquerades

An option in the UI to masquerade per-message, using Revolt's API feature of the same name.

Channels not sorted in the right order without categories.

Channels should be sorted in their respective categories then alphabetically.

Friends List

Friends List in the / route to list, add, remove and block friends instead of the currently unused space.

Sending embeds

Same as #41 but with embeds :>

Fix GitHub workflow of releases

Whenever new commits are pushed or there is a new pull request, create-release is done automatically, even if the version is unchanged so it gets stuck as a draft. Best approach is to do build step and save artifacts but get release out to another workflow which is triggered at will.

Channel Settings

/channels/[id]/settings route that behaves like the /settings route but for managing channel settings.

Unreads

Notifications for unread messages.

Visual Overhaul

Use classes more to make Custom CSS easier in the future and maybe make it look good.

Stretched Messages due to controls at the top of messages (reply, edit, etc.)

Just needs a bit of change in the HTML/CSS.

jolt: error while loading shared libraries: libOpenGL.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Not Crostini compatible unless i need to install webGL.

Incredibly Slow Requests for Messages

All in the title. Takes around 30 seconds to do requests. (possibly different on some machines)
