New feature in Crew Feed: session replays! When a crew member has streamed a game, we'll generate a GIF-like session replay, so you never miss what you're mates were up to :D

m3llo invite links now render a proper page with an OG image generated per crew. Unfurls nicely in other apps as well. Crew metadata pulled from the server, actual context for what you're about to join. You're more than welcome to join alpha testing crew :) m3llo.app/join/S9PM-GUDX

Fixed a bug where m3llo would silently break if your saved audio device was gone. Unplugged headset, switched defaults, whatever. Now it falls back gracefully instead of just insta-crashing. 16 files touched for what sounds like a simple fix. Thx to @simonlarzon.bsky.social for testing <3

Updated site to tell a better story about m3llo. Check it out! m3llo.app

I think I figured it out…how to provide something more/different for gamers and gaming groups than Disc*rd does. So psyched about this! 🤙😬

4 yrs ago I started building a Discord alternative. Solo, self-funded and couldn't afford a team. I couldnt catch up to basic functionality everyone wanted, I pivoted so many times trying to figure it out that i lost direction and I was out of money by end of 2025... [cont]

Pretty happy with this onboarding. Even managed to sneak in a little easter egg ;) Still some small-ish bugs and glitches, but overall rly happy! What ya think? #buildinpublic #madewithslint #ux4ever #m3llo.app #discordkiller?

Resource usage when streaming. In debug mode as well. Not too shabby I guess ;) #buildinpublic #deathtoelectron #rust #slint #c++ #discordkiller?

UI for selecting streaming source progression...it took a while, but pretty happy with the final result right now :) #buildinpublic #m3llo #discordwatchout

hey, i'm building m3llo. voice and game streaming for your crew. open-source, self-hostable, built in rust and c++. currently alpha and very much a work in progress. building this in public because i think that's the right way to do it. if any of this sounds interesting, come hang. m3llo.app
