Console Chat

I love Console! There are so many things you can do with the app like chatting, sharing images, and event updates. So fun that you can create new communities anytime, based on the needs of your group. It’s great that there's a free version and I appreciate that the team plans to open source the project. Seems like a big win for community chat apps. 👍

Chat just feels more authentic on Console. I love how communities on Console can filter through the noise compared to other communities on Discord because of its built-in gating mechanics. I started using Console on my computer with a Bitcoin wallet and was able to easily transition and sign in on mobile, so no complaints there. It’s great getting to be part of the conversation even when I’m not at home!

I use this app every day, countless times a day. I sometimes wonder what would happen to my brain if I couldn't use Console. Last year we started using Telegram for communities, but it quickly became clear that I was missing important messages. Telegram also feels overwhelming to me. I get a million pinging notifications and spam. Console isn't perfect yet, but the beta version is much cleaner than whatever else is out there.

I love Console! The iPhone app is still early, and not quite as smooth as bigger plays. But the UI is super clean, and it’s the easiest app for creating a community w chat, events, pages and all the things. Much better for community than Discord and Telegram. 🙌

Simply connect one of many supported blockchain wallets, and you've instantly created a free Console account. You can now trust that the message in any community chat came from the token holder that you expected it to. Signing up doesn't require a phone number nor email address, nor are you forced to sign in with Google or another big tech account... and everything that a decentralized community needs to thrive is baked right in. Features include native desktop and mobile apps, a Web app, push notifications for all platforms, message reactions, threads, private or publicly-shareable community documents, large file attachments, decentralized ID support (BNS/ENS), NFT profile images, and token gating for popular blockchains. They're even adding end to end encryption in group chats... and Console regularly ships useful feature updates. Perhaps best of all, communities are full of intelligent people who are building a more equitable world. You're officially out of excuses to keep using Discord. Console is an open source love letter to decentralized communities, and it's everything that Discord should be.
